Everything else Scribe gives an agent arrives before the reply is written. A
Stop hook is the one moment the finished reply exists, so it is the last
chance to fix a report the operator can't read, and the only place adherence
to the shape can be measured.
- plugin/hooks/scribe_report_check.sh (Stop): deterministic, no model call.
1. Did this turn close a task? That means an update_task/create_task call
with status "done" since the turn's prompt, whose tool_result is not an
error. Otherwise it stays silent, which covers most turns (one grep).
2. Does the reply that ends the turn say where the work sits (a record by
id and title, or step N of M), what needs the operator, and what comes
next? Matched on those words, not on exact headings.
3. If sections are missing, it blocks once. With stop_hook_active set, a
rewrite is recorded (passed_after_rewrite / missing_after_rewrite) and
never blocked again. A block loop started by another plugin (no marker
from this hook) is left alone.
- Measured: every checked reply is reported to GET /api/plugin/report-check
(passed / blocked / after rewrite). Turns that close nothing are not
reported; they would cost a request per turn and add nothing to the rate.
Outcomes go to app_logs as category "plugin", action "report_check".
- It blocks only when the block was recorded, and only in the server's words.
The endpoint returns the block reason, so the hook carries timing and
transport only (PACKAGING.md), and an unconfigured or unreachable instance
never stops a session.
- The transcript format is read from real transcripts and marked in the hook
as observed rather than documented. The Stop contract (transcript_path,
stop_hook_active, decision/reason, no matcher, SubagentStop separate) was
checked against the Claude Code hooks docs. A prompt-type hook was not
needed: the deterministic check passed a real completion report from this
session and blocked a stripped one.
- A pipefail trap was caught while exercising the hook: `tail | grep -q`
reports failure exactly when grep matches, because tail dies of SIGPIPE.
The prefilter reads through process substitution; the section checks use
here-strings.
- Tests: an end-to-end hook suite over synthetic transcripts and the shared
HTTP sink (silence, pass, server-worded block, rewrite recorded, foreign
loop, errored write, earlier turn, unwritten reply, no recorded check, bare
id), and service tests for the reason wording and the outcome record. Smoke
event added to check_plugin; README and PACKAGING list the hook and
endpoint. Plugin version minted.

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.
