Opening a snippet in the UI recorded rest_snippet. Opening a note or a task recorded nothing — so the most direct evidence the product has that anyone cares about a record existed for one kind out of three, and the other two sat at zero pulls looking like dead weight beside a kind that merely had a counter. Not an open question about intent: models/note_usage.py already documented 'rest_note' as a source value. Nothing wrote it. The design named it and the implementation stopped at snippets. Adds rest_note and rest_task. Tagged by SURFACE rather than by the record's kind, matching rest_snippet — the kind is a join away, but which surface asked is not recoverable after the fact. The mcp_/rest_ split stays load-bearing: "is this dead weight" is served by any pull, "was that injected line useful" by agent pulls alone, and a human clicking a link would inflate exactly the number #1038 and #2085 gate on. The vocabulary comment in the model was itself the stale-enumeration shape this survey keeps finding — it named a source nothing wrote while omitting sources that existed. Replaced with the naming CONVENTION plus a pointer to grep, which cannot drift, rather than a longer list that would go stale the same way. Guard extended to the REST surface, same derivation as the MCP half: a route registered at exactly /<int:x> for GET is a detail view, and one reaching a note-backed loader must record. Handler source is expanded one level through module-private helpers, without which get_snippet_route — the route that already got this right — would drop out of the check by loading via _load_snippet. Verified the guard fires when a call is removed. Renamed test_mcp_pull_telemetry.py -> test_pull_telemetry.py; it is no longer only about MCP. Closes #2476
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.
