Four defects from the 2026-07-25 review of the recall (#227) and merge (#231) milestones. The theme: a snippet could be recorded but not fully corrected, and the agent and web surfaces had drifted apart. - #2076 language was mis-derived from the first caller tag, so a snippet created with tags and no language read that tag back as its language — corrupting the tag set and the code fence on the next update. Only the FIRST tag can carry the language, since compose_tags emits [language, "snippet", *caller]. - #2077 MCP update_snippet mapped "" to "unchanged", so no field could ever be cleared and no snippet detached from its project. Now an omitted field is left alone, an empty string clears, and project_id follows the -1 = detach convention. A service-level UNSET sentinel keeps None available as the clear. - #2078 surface parity: adds delete_snippet (MCP had none, so a wrong snippet could not be retired by the agent that recorded it), locations on MCP create and update, system_ids through the REST routes and the editor, and the near-duplicate gate on REST create with a "record it anyway" escape. - #2079 project scoping: list_snippets takes project_id through the service, the MCP tool and the REST route, defaulting to every project — reaching across projects is the point when the helper you need was written elsewhere. Sharing the list across owners is deliberately NOT in here: query_knowledge is shared with the Knowledge browse surface, so widening it changes behaviour well beyond snippets. Left open on #2079 for a scope decision. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01RLwAaV4DQEmVyn496HnEvt
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, 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.
