Claude Code injects only the first ~2,048 chars of an MCP server's
instructions and silently cuts the rest mid-word (#2562, observed live):
_INSTRUCTIONS was 20,002 chars, so ~90% — including all Systems tagging
guidance — never reached any session. Rearchitect delivery around what
each surface actually delivers:

- _INSTRUCTIONS becomes a 1,997-char purpose-sorted map, with a header
  comment stating the budget and where detail belongs instead.
- Tool docstrings keep the per-tool HOW (audit: nearly all displaced
  topics were already duplicated there); backfill the four gaps —
  enter_project session scoping + project bootstrap, create_rule
  entity-vs-rule test, create_design_system not-a-rulebook,
  create_system two-records test.
- The plugin static context (the delivery floor) gains the
  tag-to-Systems reflex and a surfaces-layering statement; plugin
  0.1.25 -> 0.1.26 so the executing cache refreshes (#2209).
- create_task / create_note / create_snippet return a systems_hint when
  a record is created untagged in a project that has Systems — in-band
  at the exact write it applies to, fail-open like the dedup gate.
- Guards: _INSTRUCTIONS length budget, floor-states-the-reflex, and a
  displaced-topics sweep asserting every cut topic still lives on a
  delivered surface.

Scribe plugin for Claude Code

Turns a self-hosted Scribe instance into a first-class Claude Code extension:

MCP tools over your notes, tasks, projects, milestones, systems, and rulebook (the scribe server).
Session-start push channel — a SessionStart hook injects your always-on rules + active-project context so Scribe surfaces without being asked.
Prior-art recall on writes — a PreToolUse hook on Write/Edit checks the file about to be written against your recorded snippets (what's kept at that path, and what resembles the code) and offers them before the helper is rewritten. Titles only, never blocks the edit.
Universal process-skills — using-scribe, writing-plans, systematic-debugging, verification, brainstorming, reusing-code (record and recall reusable code as snippets). Replaces superpowers.
Your Scribe Processes as skills — saved Processes are synced into local ~/.claude/skills/scribe-proc-* stubs that auto-surface by relevance; the stub fetches the live procedure via get_process. Refreshed each session and on demand with /scribe:sync.

It is designed so you can uninstall superpowers and disable auto-memory and depend on neither.

Install

The plugin ships inside the Scribe app repo, so the marketplace is that repo — you always get the plugin version that matches your Scribe instance.

/plugin marketplace add https://git.fabledsword.com/bvandeusen/FabledScribe.git
/plugin install scribe@scribe-plugin

On install you'll be asked for:

Setting	What
Scribe base URL	e.g. `https://scribe.example.com` (no trailing slash)
Scribe API key	an `fmcp_` key from Settings → API Keys (stored in your OS keychain)
Active project id	optional — numeric project id to scope the session-start context

What gets wired

plugin.json mcpServers → the scribe MCP server at <base URL>/mcp (Bearer auth).
hooks/hooks.json → SessionStart hook (hooks/scribe_session_context.sh), fail-open: if Scribe is unreachable it injects nothing and never blocks the session.
hooks/hooks.json → PreToolUse hook on Write|Edit (hooks/scribe_prior_art.sh) → GET /api/plugin/prior-art. Returns additionalContext with no permission decision, so it can inform the write but never stop it; silent when nothing is recorded, which is most of the time. Toggle in Settings → Knowledge auto-inject.
skills/ → the universal process-skills, surfaced by description match.
hooks/scribe_sync_processes.sh (a 2nd SessionStart hook) + the /scribe:sync command → generate ~/.claude/skills/scribe-proc-* stubs from your Scribe Processes (via GET /api/plugin/processes); also fail-open, and pruned to match what exists in Scribe.

Notes

Set a version bump in .claude-plugin/plugin.json per release so clients pick up changes.
The session-start, auto-inject and prior-art hooks need only a read-scoped key; the MCP tools need write scope to create/update. Every hook is a GET for that reason — a read key cannot POST.
