The operator's line (2026-10-09), reconciling their 2026-09-21 ruling (#4218, "you are the judge") with "not that Claude should make all decisions": judging covers the work and its records - facts, findings, measurements, whether work is done - and direction stays theirs: priorities, what the thing should be, trade-offs only they can price, anything they live with, and every act hard to undo or facing outward. - reply_shapes: a one-line form in the core (every turn), the full text in the asks slice (where a question gets handed back). Slice budget 1400 -> 1600 for it. - reporting-back "You are the judge": "the operator reads the decision - they do not make it" replaced; the line is drawn by who can see the evidence, not by how hard the call is. - plugin version minted.

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.
