list_tasks returned every row's to_dict(), body included: a project's todo list came to 93-165k characters, past what an MCP client accepts inline, so the list arrived as a file to page through (the #4045 failure, one call over). - notes.brief_row: id, title, type, project, tags, updated_at; for tasks, status, kind, priority, milestone id and title; description, parent and due date only when set. - milestones.titles_for: one query for the milestone titles a page of rows names. - Brief rows on list_tasks, list_notes, get_milestone's steps, get_system and list_system_records. get_task / get_note / get_snippet read a record in full, and each docstring says so. - tests/test_list_rows_brief.py pins the ceiling: 100 rows of ~5k-character step plans stay under 40k characters.

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.
