Step 7's live check (#4034 "a real session shows each topic stated once") found nothing copied across surfaces, but found the owner repeating itself: using-scribe said "rules are retrieved; ask before a consequential act; an empty session is not an empty rulebook" in "Do this first", in reflex 2, and twice more further down reflex 2. - using-scribe: reflex 2 now holds the one full statement (how rules arrive, why that is the surface working, what silence means, when to ask). "Do this first" keeps the enter_project step and a short lead-in pointing at reflex 2. "A retrieved rule outranks a default habit" and "Ask hardest where you feel most certain" stay, since each adds something. - Adapter static context: "Lines injected beside your work" keeps only the Claude Code timing and leaves "never the whole set" to the skill. "Keep one copy" names CLAUDE.md and auto-memory and points at using-scribe, which already says to leave a client's settings as they are. - The ownership registry's markers and statement for the topic still sit on using-scribe, and nothing else changed owner. Plugin version minted. Sizes: using-scribe 18,823 -> 18,197 chars; scribe_static_context.md 1,797 -> 1,714. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
