Rule 27 — the schema and both doors shipped with no human surface, so step 3 was not shippable until this. RuleEditorSlideOver gains the trigger, the tier, the areas, and a read-only view of the rule's edges. The tier is a radio pair carrying the test itself rather than a bare toggle: can you name the trigger WITHOUT naming a system, an artifact type or a moment? If the honest answer is "whenever you are working", it is always on. It also says why conditional is not a demotion — it costs nothing when irrelevant, which is what lets a rule be as long as it needs to be. The relations block states the rule the whole milestone turns on: rules that FAIL TOGETHER are linked, never merged. RuleListPane shows the trigger and the LAST-CHANGED DATE on every row, and marks conditional only — always_on is the default and badging every row would say nothing. The date is the cheap triage the FabledCurator case wanted: a rule whose age predates the capability it duplicates is visible at a glance instead of needing a get_rule to find out. ProjectRulesTab's inline create form gains the same two fields, because a project rule bloats exactly the way a family one does — FabledCurator has 23 of them. Two type fixes the new shapes forced, both worth keeping: - toHeader() in the store: a list row is the server's rule_brief, so patching a list locally has to mirror every field it carries or the two disagree. There were two hand-built four-field literals doing that job. - ApplicableRules.rules / .project_rules are now described AS RuleHeader rather than as two more hand-written shapes — the same builder produces them, so the same type should describe them. groupByRulebookAndTopic skips a null-topic rule rather than widening TopicGroup to accept one: a rule carries topic_id XOR project_id, so a null topic in that list means something is wrong upstream, and a widened type would hide it.

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.
