bvandeusen 9924f873b9 feat(plugin): ship the Scribe Claude Code plugin in-repo (marketplace + plugin)
Per operator: the plugin lives in the app repo so it ships and versions in
lockstep with the app and the /api/plugin/context contract it targets (same
co-location rationale as the former in-repo MCP). A git-cloned marketplace
supports relative plugin sources, so the FabledScribe repo IS the marketplace.

- .claude-plugin/marketplace.json — source ./plugin
- plugin/.claude-plugin/plugin.json — userConfig (base URL, api key, project id)
- plugin/.mcp.json — http scribe server, ${user_config.*} substitution
- plugin/hooks/ — SessionStart push-channel hook (fail-open)
- plugin/skills/using-scribe — bootstrap skill
- plugin/README.md — install via the FabledScribe repo marketplace

Phase 2 of plan #755. Install/userConfig-substitution test pending.

using-scribe Use at the start of any session and before answering questions about the operator's work or starting a task — establishes the Scribe-first reflex (recall before acting, load standing rules, update over duplicate, plan in Scribe not in files).

Using Scribe

Scribe is the operator's self-hosted second brain (notes, tasks, projects, milestones, events, typed entities) and rulebook, reachable through the bundled scribe MCP server. Its value is mostly in what it already holds — so make reading it a reflex, not something you wait to be asked for.

The reflex

  1. Recall before acting. Before answering a question about the operator's work, or starting a task, search Scribe (and list_tasks / list_notes) for prior art — an existing ticket, decision, or dev-log — instead of re-deriving it or opening a duplicate. When a project is in scope, pass its project_id so results stay scoped.

  2. Standing rules are binding. The SessionStart context lists the operator's always-on rule titles. Treat them as binding. Pull full text with list_always_on_rules() or get_rule(id) when a rule is about to bite. When a project is in scope, enter_project(id) also returns its applicable rules.

  3. Update over duplicate. When recording, prefer updating an existing note/rule/task over creating a new one. Search first; revise what's there.

  4. Plans live in Scribe. For non-trivial work call start_planning(project_id, title) FIRST — the plan body + step checklist live in the kind=plan task, progress goes in work-logs (add_task_log). Do not write plans/specs to local .md files.

  5. Keep state honest. Set a task in_progress when you start it, done the moment it's complete; log progress as you go.

Other Scribe process-skills

This plugin also ships focused process-skills — brainstorming, systematic debugging, test-driven development, writing-plans, verification, receiving code review. Reach for the matching one when its situation arises, the same way you reach for this skill.
