#4797 "A lesson's what takes a whole narrative, and the narrative becomes its name". `what` is the title every listing and menu prints. Nothing enforced its documented "one line", so lessons written with the incident in `what` printed up to ~1,500 characters as a menu line, buried the claim, and diluted the trigger in the embedded title. That was 14 of the 39 lessons on this install. - lessons.require_claim refuses a `what` over WHAT_MAX_CHARS (240) or running over several lines. The refusal says the story goes in `insight`. - Both doors call it before writing: - MCP create_lesson / update_lesson; - REST create / update. An update checks only a NEW name, so a lesson stored with a long one can still take the edit that repairs it. - lessons.claim_line is the display half. _menu_name shows an over-long stored name as its first sentence marked " …", because a door guard does not undo rows already stored and an unrepaired install would keep printing them. - The tool docstrings state the bound.

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.
