- Every turn (/api/plugin/retrieve, UserPromptSubmit): the core reply shape leads the payload - in full the first time, as its one-line reminder after that - followed by whatever is mounted on reply.report, under the shared rule ledger. Fresh keys come back as shape_keys. - The ledger is <sid>.shapes.ids in scribe-priorart (scribe_shapes_file / _seen / _append), so the compaction sweep that clears every .ids ledger is what brings the full core back after one. - At a moment (/api/plugin/moment): the slice for that reply - completion on work.finish, asks on reply.ask, plan on work.plan - ahead of the mounted rules. reachable_tools now lists tools reaching a shaped moment even on an install with nothing mounted. - Scribe's own tools (attach_moment_rules): reply_shape in the response, in full, since that door has no ledger. enter_project carries the core for clients with no prompt hook. - Telemetry: one AppLog row per delivery (plugin / reply_shape), each shape with full or pointer and the door (turn, hook, mcp).

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.
