- MCP create_project(..., exclude_always_on_rulebooks, subscribe_rulebooks, design_system_id (0 unstated / -1 none / n), seed_systems): any inception arg → inception.decide(via="mcp") after the create; none → undecided with an inception_hint. New decide_project_inception(project_id, …) records or re-records; nothing given = an inherit-all decision, stated. - enter_project carries `inception` ONLY for the caller's own, undecided project: inception_ask() = the project's current defaults + what to ask the operator once + the exact call (the #2683 ask shape). Absent otherwise. - REST: POST /api/projects accepts `inception` (validated before the create); POST /api/projects/<id>/inception decides/re-decides; GET …/inception/defaults is the card's payload; GET project already carries inception via to_dict. - _INSTRUCTIONS: ORIENT names the ask; START a project names the questions — never create a project bare by default (product behaviour, P#119).

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.
