The record view listed values as text and drew a swatch only where the value looked like a colour. Two problems, one cause: a derived value such as color-mix(in srgb, var(--accent) 15%, transparent) was drawn by resolving --accent against THIS app, so previewing another project's system showed Scribe's palette. It looked right, which is why nobody noticed. TokenPreview draws the system from its own record. Every value is resolved on an offscreen probe carrying only that system's declarations, so a system whose app this browser has never loaded renders in its own colours — which is the difference between a tool and a mirror. Specimens are chosen by value SHAPE, never by name: colours become swatches, lengths become rules drawn to scale, gradients and shadows get a surface, font stacks are set in themselves. Nothing matches --fs-space-* or any other convention, because the convention belongs to the install (rule #115) — a system that calls its spacing --gap-N gets the same treatment. Translucent values sit on a checkerboard, or a 15% tint over a solid card reads as opaque and shows the wrong colour. Modes come from the system, not from the app: a system declaring base and light offers both, independent of the theme this page is in. The provenance list keeps its swatches only for self-contained colours — the ones needing no resolution, which it can therefore draw honestly. Everything with a var() inside is left to the preview built for it. Step 2 of milestone #274.

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.
