The definition extractor is line-oriented and knows nothing about what a
line is INSIDE. A docstring that wraps onto a line starting with a keyword
announces a definition: `AND` reached a live session as a divergence prompt
asking it to justify a symbol that does not exist, and `is` reached it as a
repo-wide duplicate of four files that define nothing of the kind.
Measured, not assumed: running the extractor over every scannable file with
and without the scan differs by twenty-two phantoms. Two of them — `with`
and `nobody`, both out of the module docstring in check_dangling_styles.py —
are persisted `code_shapes` rows that have been judged. Those need no
migration: sync_shapes marks a row it no longer extracts as vanished.
`ast` would be the honest tool for .py and is not what this uses, because
the extractor is mirrored rule for rule by an awk program in the hook, awk
cannot parse Python, and a fix only one of the pair can run is the drift the
mirror exists to prevent. Both sides now run the same left-to-right scan and
blank comment and string spans to their own newlines before any matcher sees
a line. Three things the scan has to get right, each of which cost real
definitions while it was being written:
- a string that HOLDS a marker is not a marker. `"red /* "` in
test_design_stylesheet.py and a triple quote inside a single-quoted
regex in plugin_context.py each ate every definition below them.
- `#` is a colour in CSS and a comment in Python, and the extractor is
handed no path. An alphanumeric straight after it settles it.
- an unterminated opener blanks NOTHING. The scan rewinds past it and
continues, so a stray marker costs one span rather than the rest of the
file.
The comment claiming the two extractors agree has been the only thing
holding them together, and a comment cannot fail. The mirror test now RUNS
the hook's awk over the same vectors: with the old program it reports the
phantoms, which is what a guard that can fail looks like. Across all 631
scannable files in this repo the two now agree line for line.

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.
