The manifest gate caught this, which is what it is for:

    FAIL  plugin content changed but the version is still 2026.09.04.0140.

An install has two halves and only one self-updates. The marketplace clone
pulls on its own; the cache that actually EXECUTES refreshes only when this
string changes. So a hook edit shipped without a bump reaches the repo and
stops there — and the obvious debugging move, inspecting the clone, shows
the fix present while the broken copy keeps running. That is #2209, #1040
and #2220, and the only detector was the operator saying "I don't think it
updated".

Minted with scripts/mint_plugin_version.py rather than hand-edited: the
plugin ships straight from the repo with no build step, so there is no
moment at which CI could stamp a value, and the script is the path the
mint guard pins.

Scribe plugin for Claude Code

Turns a self-hosted Scribe instance into a first-class Claude Code extension:

MCP tools over your notes, tasks, projects, milestones, systems, and rulebook (the scribe server).
Session-start push channel — a SessionStart hook injects your always-on rules + active-project context so Scribe surfaces without being asked.
Prior-art recall on writes — a PreToolUse hook on Write/Edit checks the file about to be written against your recorded snippets (what's kept at that path, and what resembles the code) and offers them before the helper is rewritten. Titles only, never blocks the edit.
Universal process-skills — using-scribe, writing-plans, systematic-debugging, verification, brainstorming, reusing-code (record and recall reusable code as snippets). Replaces superpowers.
Your Scribe Processes as skills — saved Processes are synced into local ~/.claude/skills/scribe-proc-* stubs that auto-surface by relevance; the stub fetches the live procedure via get_process. Refreshed each session and on demand with /scribe:sync.

It is designed so you can uninstall superpowers and disable auto-memory and depend on neither.

Install

The plugin ships inside the Scribe app repo, so the marketplace is that repo — you always get the plugin version that matches your Scribe instance.

/plugin marketplace add https://git.fabledsword.com/bvandeusen/FabledScribe.git
/plugin install scribe@scribe-plugin

On install you'll be asked for:

Setting	What
Scribe base URL	e.g. `https://scribe.example.com` (no trailing slash)
Scribe API key	an `fmcp_` key from Settings → API Keys (stored in your OS keychain)
Active project id	optional — numeric project id to scope the session-start context

What gets wired

plugin.json mcpServers → the scribe MCP server at <base URL>/mcp (Bearer auth).
hooks/hooks.json → SessionStart hook (hooks/scribe_session_context.sh), fail-open: if Scribe is unreachable it injects nothing and never blocks the session.
hooks/hooks.json → PreToolUse hook on Write|Edit (hooks/scribe_prior_art.sh) → GET /api/plugin/prior-art. Returns additionalContext with no permission decision, so it can inform the write but never stop it; silent when nothing is recorded, which is most of the time. Two framings: a REUSE menu (similar/nearby records), and a SYNC nudge when a snippet records the exact file being edited — "updating the record is part of the edit" — each with its own once-per-session dedup. A third, ledger-fed line names a duplicate family (no canon) or a canon recorded elsewhere for the names being written (its own dedup channel, exclude_derive). Fail-open but not fail-silent: a configured instance that does not answer in time is said, once per outage ("Scribe did not answer … this write went UNCHECKED"), so a session can tell "checked, nothing there" from "never checked"; an answer clears the marker. The local by-name arm needs no server and always runs. Toggle in Settings → Knowledge auto-inject.
hooks/hooks.json → PostToolUse hook on Bash (hooks/scribe_after_write.sh): code written through sed/heredocs/scripts never reaches the PreToolUse hook, so this one diffs the working tree after every Bash call (per-session path+blob snapshot; one git status when nothing changed) and runs the same arms on the definitions just written, through the same endpoint and the same dedup channels. additionalContext only; never blocks, and shares the pre-write hook's once-per-outage "did not answer" line (8 s budget here — it runs after the tool, so it gates nothing). The extractor, the prose/data skip list, the local by-name duplicate arm and the outage line are shared in hooks/scribe_defs.sh.
skills/ → the universal process-skills, surfaced by description match.
hooks/scribe_sync_processes.sh (a 2nd SessionStart hook) + the /scribe:sync command → generate ~/.claude/skills/scribe-proc-* stubs from your Scribe Processes (via GET /api/plugin/processes); also fail-open, and pruned to match what exists in Scribe.

Notes

Do not hand-edit version in .claude-plugin/plugin.json. It is minted from the clock — run python3 scripts/mint_plugin_version.py (or make mint-plugin, where make is installed) after changing anything under plugin/, and commit the result. The installer decides whether to refresh the cache it executes from by comparing that string, so content that ships without a new version reaches the repo and stops there (#2209). CI fails the lane if you forget.
The session-start, auto-inject and prior-art hooks need only a read-scoped key; the MCP tools need write scope to create/update. Every hook is a GET for that reason — a read key cannot POST.
