Judging live auto-inject menus (#4772) found "## Work log — 2026-08-21", "## Findings worth carrying forward" and "Two dev→main PRs this session." each embedded as a whole chunk. Text about nothing embeds close to everything, so they took ranks 1–3 on vague queries and pushed real records down. Three ways the chunker made them, each closed: - _split_paragraphs flushed a heading on its own when the paragraph under it was long. A thin lead is now carried into the paragraph that follows, and a hard cut never lands in the first quarter of the budget, where the newline it finds closes a heading. - A heading with no body (above its ### parts) became a section of its own when the section before it was full. A thin section now takes the next. - A short lead-in or a short last section stood alone. The lead-in joins what follows; a thin tail joins what precedes it. A continuation piece now repeats the LAST heading before it, since one section can now hold several. CHUNKER_VERSION 2 → 3, so the startup backfill re-embeds; tuned dials will report their shape as changed, which is true. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
