Milestone #251 step 2 (#2259). The half of the drift panel that needed to be testable, which is why it is Python: the frontend has no test runner, so the fiddly extraction lives server-side and the browser only does set arithmetic over live token values. BINDING. A per-user setting `design_rulebook_id` names the rulebook that describes this install's design system. A setting rather than a column: no migration, discoverable in the Settings UI (rule #25), and honest about being a per-install choice rather than a property of the rulebook. No rulebook designated returns an empty set with rulebook_id: null — the NORMAL case for any install but the one that set it up (rule #115), which the client renders as an explanatory empty state rather than an error. The id comes back alongside the list so "not designated" and "designated but empty" stay distinguishable. EXTRACTION. No NLP. Rule statements are prose written for humans and should stay that way, so this takes only what is unambiguous in any prose — the hex colours and custom-property names a rule mentions. Anything subtler needs a rule author to opt into a structured form, deliberately left for when someone wants it. Three things earn their complexity: - SENTENCE-SCOPED NEGATION. A rule routinely states what the palette requires and what it forbids in consecutive sentences ("Parchment #E8E4D8 …, Vellum #C2BFB4 …. Pure white #FFFFFF is NEVER used."). Detecting negation across the whole statement would mark the required colours as forbidden — inverting the finding rather than missing it, which is worse. Per sentence, all four come out right. - HEX NORMALISATION is load-bearing, not tidiness. The rulebook writes #FFFFFF and components write #fff; if those don't compare equal the largest drift finding in the codebase — 67 hardcoded white text colours (#2275) — reads as zero. Alpha forms keep their alpha, since #fff and #ffff are different colours and collapsing them would manufacture equality. - SLASH SHORTHAND. Rulebooks write token families as --fs-radius-sm/md/lg/xl and --fs-obsidian/iron/slate/pewter. Both expand under one rule — prefix is everything up to and including the LAST hyphen of the first segment — which also handles --fs-dur-fast/base/slow. Verified against the real rule text: 18 tokens from three different shorthand shapes. how_to_apply is read alongside statement, because rulebooks routinely keep the statement declarative and put the concrete values in how_to_apply; ignoring it would miss the checkable half. Claims dedupe on (kind, value), first source winning, so a colour named by several rules is one expectation attributed to the rule that introduced it. Prose with nothing checkable yields nothing — most rules are judgement, not specification, and a panel that reported unparseable rules as problems would be unusable.

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.
