Step 2 of milestone 409 "Response shapes". A reply written in the order the work happened is accurate and still unreadable to someone who was not there. The new bundled skill shapes it around where the work stands. - Fires when an agent is about to report completion, hand off, ask the operator something, answer "where are we", or propose an approach. - Every reply: conclusion first, one topic per section, visible priority, the ask in bold at the end, plain words, the work placed in Scribe. - Placement is taken from the placement block step 1 returns (#4010), not recalled; untracked work is said to be untracked. - Four families of shapes: Reports, Asks, Answers, Proposals, with the completion report written out in full. - Domain-neutral: the worked example is a backup job, evidence is "what you could open to check it". Written as practices, and naming no instance rule. - A structural guard pins the completion sections, the from-the-record placement, and the absence of software-only vocabulary.

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.
