Step 3 of milestone 409 "Response shapes". Step 2's reporting-back skill only helps if it fires, and only exists in the Claude Code plugin. - scribe_static_context.md and using-scribe (new reflex 11) say: report back in a shape the operator can read, placed from the `placement` block rather than memory, and point at the reporting-back skill. using-scribe also lists it among the sibling process-skills. - update_task returns a one-line `report_back` cue when a task is closed (done or cancelled). A tool response is the only surface every MCP client sees, at the moment the report is about to be written. - _INSTRUCTIONS takes no line: there is no budget without trading out a session-start reflex. The decision is recorded in server.py's comment block so it is not re-litigated blind. - Guards: test_instruction_surfaces_agree pins the reflex and the placement pointer on both plugin surfaces; a tool test pins the cue on closing statuses and its absence on every other update.

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.
