Sessions predicted the ids their next creates would get and wrote them into
plan bodies and reference notes before the records existed. The database
never collides; the sequence is shared by every session and user, so any
concurrent create took the guessed numbers and the references pointed at
someone else's records.
- create_records (new MCP tool) and start_planning(body=, steps=) create
their records in ONE transaction: insert, flush for the real ids, rewrite
{{ref:N}} / {{ref:milestone}} placeholders as #id "title", commit. No
prediction, no waiting, no stub records left behind when a batch fails.
Ids need not be consecutive and nothing depends on it.
- Every MCP create/update of a note, task or milestone refuses a #N sitting
just above the highest assigned id (within 50): that can only be a guess.
Refusal, not warning. Numbers far above the max (PRs, forge issues) pass.
- notes.build_note splits validation out of create_note so the batch
validates records exactly as a single create does.
- writing-plans and using-scribe say to pass steps up front and never write
an unassigned id; plugin version minted.
Integration test runs six concurrent batches and checks each resolves its
placeholders to its own records, and that a failing batch writes nothing.

Fabled Scribe
A self-hosted work system-of-record for software projects, built to be driven by Claude Code. Notes, tasks, issues, projects, milestones, rules, and stored processes — reachable from Claude via a built-in MCP endpoint and a bundled Claude Code plugin, with a clean web UI for humans. No in-app LLM; Claude is the sole assistant.
Features
Notes and tasks with a Markdown editor, sub-tasks, milestones, issues, and kanban project workspaces. Stored processes, an engineering rulebook system (with an inception step that decides what each project inherits), and semantic search with proactive knowledge-injection into Claude's context. A knowledge graph, per-user/group sharing, and a built-in MCP server (/mcp) plus a bundled Claude Code plugin so Claude can record and recall your work directly.
Quick Start
Prerequisites: Docker and Docker Compose. No GPU or local model needed — Claude is the sole assistant, reached over MCP.
Download docker-compose.quickstart.yml from this repo, then:
# Optional but recommended — set a secret key
export SECRET_KEY=your-random-secret-here
docker compose -f docker-compose.quickstart.yml up -d
Open http://localhost:5000. The first user to register becomes admin. To connect Claude, create an API key under Settings → API Keys and install the Claude Code plugin — see API Keys & MCP.
Development: To build from source, see Development.
