Derive-first, ahead of the tests shape pay-down. An AST pass over all 2628 definitions under `tests/` found exactly three helper bodies duplicated across files. Two are real copies and are consolidated here; the third is not, and is left alone. `need_tools(*tools)` — byte-identical in three hook-test modules, each skipping when `jq`/`awk`/`git` is absent from PATH. Now snippet #4277. The `import shutil` each file carried existed only to serve it and goes with it. `rule_row(rule_id)` — byte-identical in two integration modules, reading a Rule back through a SEPARATE session so the assertion is about what Postgres holds rather than what the writing session's identity map remembers. Now snippet #4278. Its imports are lazy, because `tests/helpers.py` is imported by unit tests that have no database, which is the same reason `plugin_config` defers its service imports. NOT consolidated: `_side(uid, k, d="")` in test_services_plugin_context and test_write_path_trigger. The body is identical but it closes over a module-local `stored` dict, so it is not self-contained and "moving" it would mean inventing a parameter neither call site wants. That is convention plumbing — two tests independently writing the same one-line side_effect — and it is dismissed in the ledger rather than lifted. Worth recording for the next pass: a repeated NAME is not a family. `_row` is defined in five modules and only two of those share a body; the other three (test_list_rows_brief, test_calibration_stamp, test_shape_ledger) build entirely different objects. Grouping by name would have consolidated three things that have nothing in common.

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.
