`rgba(91, 74, 138, …)` is Scribe's accent in decimal. It appears sixteen times across five files at ten different opacities, plus once as #5B4A8A. Change the accent in the design system and none of them would have moved — which is the precise failure the token system exists to prevent, hiding in a notation that does not look like a colour constant. Now `color-mix(in srgb, var(--color-primary) N%, transparent)`, so every one follows the accent. The design system already uses this form for its own tints (--fs-accent-soft, -faint, -wash), so this is the established idiom rather than a new one. The CI literal count barely moves (45 -> 44) because its regex matches #hex and fifteen of these were rgba(). Worth stating plainly: **the count was never the goal, and the check is blind to this whole class.** An rgba triple is a colour literal in every sense that matters and the report does not see it. Not touched: the badge palette in KnowledgeView (#7A6DA8, #fbbf24, #818cf8 for note/task/plan) and the remaining greys. Those are genuine unmade decisions — what colour IS a plan badge — not drift, and inventing tokens for them would be deciding by implementation.

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.
