ci-requirements.md is the document that drives promoting a per-job dep into the ci-python image, and it still recorded jq as installed in the plugin job and "load-bearing for the smoke test specifically", on the grounds that every hook opened `command -v jq || exit 0` and the test would otherwise pass while exercising nothing. That was the tail wagging the dog. The hooks ship to users; jq is absent by default on macOS, the Debian/Ubuntu slim images, Alpine and most CI containers, and a machine without it got no context, no rules, no prior art and no process sync in silence. The answer was to remove the dependency, not to install it harder. Recorded as a promotion the entry now argues AGAINST rather than deleted: the next person to read this file should find out why jq is absent, not merely that it is.

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.
