Step 7, part two. Milestone 385 built the lesson kind through the MCP tools, which is the agent's surface. The Vue app speaks REST, so a lesson was a record a person could not create, read, edit or retire — rule 27 failing at the door rather than in the view. `/api/lessons` now offers list, create, read, update and trash, plus `/api/lessons/taught-by/<id>` — the reverse of `learned_from`, which the task body calls the direction that gets forgotten and arguably the more useful one: a reader opening an old issue wants to know what was learned from it, and until now the relation was only navigable from the lesson's side. `lessons_taught_by` reads `data[taught_by]` through `path_exists`, the same jsonpath dialect the snippet location lookup uses, so both reverse lookups hit the GIN index (0070) the same way rather than scanning bodies. Share-aware via `readable_notes_clause`: it renders beside a record the caller can already see, so a lesson shared with them belongs there exactly as their own does. THE TRIGGER IS REFUSED WHEN EMPTY, at create and at update. This is the one place the door is not a thin wrapper, and it is deliberate: the service will store a triggerless lesson quite happily — it saves, reads correctly in every listing, and never surfaces. There is nothing to notice afterwards, because it looks exactly like a lesson that works. Better to refuse it than to hand back a record that looks finished. The refusal says why, so the next reader does not take it for a nag and delete it. `lesson_to_dict` moves into the service and the MCP tool's `_to_dict` becomes an alias for it. Both doors now return one shape — a payload spelled once per door answers the two of them differently the first time a field is added — and both compose through `services/lessons.py`, so a lesson written from the web ranks identically to one written by an agent. The document IS what ranks, so that parity is the whole reason the door is thin. The dedup gate matches the MCP path: two lessons under one trigger compete in a single ranked list for one reserved slot, so a duplicate here displaces rather than merely clutters. NOT DONE YET: this is the door, not the UI. #3734 stays in_progress until the Vue views, the router entries, the Knowledge browse badge and the both-ways sources panel exist — rule 27 is about the operator being able to touch it.

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.
