The judgment write path. classify_shapes applies a batch of classifications to a project's live ledger rows — all-or-nothing (#2709's lesson: the whole batch is validated, write-ACL'd, and every snippet target proven readable before any row is touched); rows match by exact (path, symbol), kind narrows, and shapes no live row matches come back as 'unmatched' rather than errors. variant/exempt REQUIRE the reason — the why is the record (note 2786) — and 'unclassified' deliberately withdraws a judgment back to the todo. The 'via' channel is caller-restricted to agent|audit|import; hook and mechanical stay server-internal so a caller can't launder judgment as machinery. list_shapes is the todo query (status=unclassified) with composable filters: path is exact-or-under like recorded locations, snippet_id reads a consumer map, include_vanished reads history; paged with the true total. get_snippet now attaches and — the structured consumer map, filtered to projects the CALLER can read so a shared snippet never side- channels another project's file layout; attached only when non-empty (#2483). Integration tests pin the batch atomicity, ACL gates, filter composition, the consumer map on the MCP pull, and the SET NULL companion: a judgment whose snippet was purged rejoins the todo on the next sync.

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, 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.
