The reporting-back skill ships default shapes; an operator's adjustments to them are preference records. Prompt-time retrieval matches the operator's message, and a shape preference is about the reply, so those preferences were on file and never arrived. Operator's decision (logged on #4013): the server delivers them for a completion report, and the skill asks for every other kind. - Completion reports (option C): closing a task with update_task runs a kind-filtered preference search for the moment "writing the completion report after finishing a task" and returns matches as `reply_preferences` ({id, title, statement, kind}), with a sentence added to `report_back` naming the key. A preference says it is about completion reports through its own when_to_apply; no tag or column. Omitted when nothing matches, and the lookup fails open. - Telemetry: every call logs to retrieval_logs under `report_preference` (empty calls included; a search that never ran writes no row) and hits are recorded surfaced. The source is ranked, so it counts toward pull-through. The bar is the prompt arm's setting until step 6 reads this source's near misses. - Every other reply (option A): reporting-back gains "The operator's own shapes come first". Before a finding, decision, handoff or "where are we", search(content_type="rule") in the words of that moment and follow what comes back. Registered in the ownership guard with reporting-back as owner. - Loading reply shapes at session start (option B) was rejected: it would be a small copy of the preloading milestone 394 retired. Domain-neutral query (pinned); works on an install with no preferences. Plugin version minted. 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.
