The reply is the one act no tool call marks, and it is where "let me know if it works" gets said. A new Stop hook (scribe_reply_check.sh) sends the finished reply to POST /api/plugin/reply-rules, which checks it twice: - mounted: every unopened RULE on reply.report, plus reply.ask when the reply asks a question. Deterministic. - semantic: the reply's head and tail against every rule's trigger, on a new ranked surface, reply_rule. It is the backstop for whatever the earlier arms missed. Its floor is its stop bar (default 0.80, budget 1), with its own Settings dials. The new stop_only stage records surfacing for the rule that holds and nothing else, because nothing else reached anyone. Following the operator's ruling from 456 step 8, a rule that holds blocks once, in the server's words. The hook blocks only on a reason it was given, so an unreachable instance never stops a session, and it never holds the rewrite. The ledger is the act checkpoint's own, so a rule holds a session once across both doors and the per-session cap counts both. The turn reader moved from the report check into scribe_defs.sh (scribe_turn_facts / scribe_turn_fact), so the two Stop hooks read a turn the same way. The output was checked identical on a real transcript. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
