Scribe issue #2582: the sync wrote "Use when {title}-type work is requested" into every generated process skill, so a bespoke live prompt that merely resembled a stored Process got the Process's canned procedure — and inherited approvals embedded in its body (the Drift Audit's fan-out opt-in) that the conversation never granted. Observed live: an explicit systems-review request with its own constraints was answered with the Drift Audit clarify menu recommending ~15 parallel auditors. New trigger contract, both variants: follow verbatim only when invoked by name; on mere resemblance the live instructions govern — offer the process, ask before following, and never inherit embedded approvals the operator hasn't granted in this conversation. (The Drift Audit process record itself was also rewritten to a sequential in-context walk — data change, live already, recorded in the same issue.)

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, 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.
