All six hooks scoped their requests one way: `git remote get-url origin`,
resolved server-side through the repo bindings. That key does not exist
outside a git repo, so a session in a plain directory was unscoped in every
hook at once — no project context, no prior-art scoping, no project rules —
and silently, because a missing remote is indistinguishable from a remote
nobody bound.
A `.scribe` file is the second key, read by the shared scribe_scope_query so a
directory scopes the same way everywhere:
{"instance": "https://scribe.example.com", "project_id": 2, "project": "…"}
`instance` is why the file is not just a number: an id is a different project
on every Scribe, so a marker that travels — a copied directory, a shared
machine, a repo someone else clones — would otherwise scope the session to the
wrong project without a word. Compared host-only, and a mismatch drops the id:
no project beats the wrong project. A bare integer is accepted too, since it
is what a person writes by hand. The marker beats a git remote — someone put
the file there on purpose — which is also how a directory overrides its
binding.
Two things it found on the way:
* An explicit project_id that did not resolve rendered NO message at all —
the branch hung off `if project_id` as an `elif`, so a caller holding a
pointer it believed in got a context that silently omitted the project it
had asked for. Now reported.
* The refusal reason was a global set inside a function every caller reads
through `$( )`. The assignment died with the subshell, leaving the caller
to read an unset variable under `set -u` — which aborts the hook and costs
the whole session's SessionStart context, to fetch a warning about a file.
It comes back through stdout with the id instead, and a test pins it.

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.
