A project's inheritance becomes a decision, not a default (milestone 297).
- projects.inception (JSONB, NULL = undecided): {decided_at, decided_by, via
mcp|ui|legacy, choices {exclude_always_on_rulebooks, subscribe_rulebooks,
design_system_id, seed_systems}}; on to_dict.
- project_rulebook_exclusions: a project's opt-out of a whole always-on
rulebook — the sibling of the rule/topic suppressions, CASCADE both ways.
- services/inception.py (first cut): the vocabulary, validate_inception
(pure, all-or-nothing), normalize_choices, is_decided. Effects come in
step 3.
- Migration 0085 backfills every existing project via="legacy" with its
current standing (no exclusions, its subscriptions, its design_system_id,
no seed) so the ask fires only for projects created after this ships.
- Backup v10: rulebook_exclusions section; project rows carry inception and
design_system_id, restored in a post-pass once rulebooks/design systems are
mapped (design_system_id was not restored before — fixed in passing).

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.
