- background.start_periodic(interval, work, label=) replaces the three hand-rolled while-True/sleep/try loops in logging, auth and notifications. - services/scheduler.ScheduledJob replaces the four private BackgroundScheduler copies in recurrence/version_pinning/trash/db_maintenance schedulers; public start_/stop_/reschedule_ surfaces unchanged. - api_keys.hash_token is the one sha256 helper; auth.py used to inline it 5x. - auth.is_registration_open reads via settings.get_admin_setting; notification prefs read via settings.get_setting; _fire_share_email uses _get_user_email. - projects.get_project_summary / milestones.get_project_milestone_summary are now the one-id view of their batch siblings instead of a second copy of the queries; sharing.best_permission_by (was _deduplicate_by_permission) is the one rank-dedup, now also used by list_projects_for_user. - backup: the row builders for every section both exporters carry are named functions, so a column added to one export cannot silently miss the other. - iso() from models.base replaces the attr.isoformat()-if-attr-else-None idiom and db_maintenance._iso across services; backup keeps its explicit shape. - trash.py hoists the sql_delete/timedelta imports it re-imported per function.

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.
