The derive queue said the biggest duplicate families were whole views: TaskViewerView, UserManagementView and LogsView were imported nowhere — left behind when tasks moved to the editor and users/logs became SettingsView tabs. Deleted (rule 22). Note/TaskEditorView carried six identical scoped rules -> editor-shared.css (the .tag-suggest-row gap the scoped copies actually rendered wins). Three views wrapped the page under three names -> .page-container in components.css. Three scoped input recipes -> the design system fs-input recipe (snippet #2336), verbatim, in components.css; width/ box-sizing stay with the caller. The three rules panes share .pane and the pane heading via rules-shared.css (the auth-shared pattern, #2852). Ledger: a single-declaration CSS rule keeps its selector in its fingerprint, so `color: var(--fs-text-tertiary)` under five different names is no longer a five-file "identical body" family — the first pay-down found that most of the 148 dup families were exactly this, and nobody would consolidate them.

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.
