CI 7098: unit tests red, everything else green. `_INSTRUCTIONS` was 2439 against a 2000 budget. WHAT I DID NOT CHECK. That block is capped because Claude Code injects only the first ~2,048 characters of a server's instructions and cuts the rest mid-word (#2562, observed live — a 20k version delivered ~10% of itself and the Systems guidance never reached a session). The cap is stated in a comment directly above the literal I edited. It was at 1998/2000 before this batch: a shared, nearly-exhausted resource, and I added a six-line entry to it. THE JUDGE LINE STAYS, and paying for it is the decision rather than dropping it. A client with no Agent Skills support receives this index and nothing else, so of everything here, "you are the judge of record" is among the least safe to leave past the fold — an agent that never learns it defers every call to an operator who was never going to make them. So the line is earned by compressing prose AROUND the existing markers, not by removing anyone's entry: RULES loses a clause, RECORD and REPORT lose trailing restatement, PLAN drops a sentence the two markers already imply, and the opening paragraph tightens. Every index marker the ownership registry requires survives verbatim — that is what test_the_index_names_each_reflex_it_points_at checks, and it passes. Back to 1998/2000: the same headroom as before, with one more reflex indexed. The next addition pays the same way. Three guidance modules run green locally (21 tests) — they read files and need no database, so this one did not have to go to CI to be known. Plugin version re-minted; the previous mint is on a commit that never went green.

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.
