uses edges — consumption is its own relation, conformance keeps one snippet_id (#2870, milestone 294)
A shape can follow one convention canon AND call several helper canons; the row's single snippet_id made the 2026-08 audit pick (hash_token won, the service-function convention lost), and hook evidence — pulled a snippet, then wrote code naming it — was stamped as instance when it is a uses fact. - code_shape_uses (migration 0084): shape → snippet, basis, evidence; unique per pair; cascades with both ends. USE_BASES: reference | hook | agent | audit | import. A judgment-grade basis overwrites a mechanical one, never the reverse. - classify_shapes items and classify_shapes_by_rule take uses=[snippet ids] (targets validated like snippet_id; all-or-nothing). - The write-path hook writes a uses edge for every pulled canon the payload names (the instance stamp is unchanged); the proposer writes a uses edge for every canon a body names (reference_canons: kind + language family + stoplist, same rules as the reference basis) — the mechanical form of "auto-confirm own-import references" deferred from #2871. - list_shapes(uses=N) lists the consumers of a canon; get_snippet's consumer map gains `uses` beside instances/variants. Operator decision on #2870 (2026-08-21): keep one snippet_id, add uses edges. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

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.
