The lesson slot has recorded surfaced-vs-opened since it shipped. Nothing showed it. `get_lesson`'s REST door attached `usage` to the payload and no view rendered it; the listing did not attach it at all, and neither MCP door did. #4196 asks when a lesson that keeps getting followed should become a rule, and names the trap in the same breath: raw frequency cannot separate "this should bind" from "this trigger is too broad", and the second is the commoner reading by a wide margin. Surfaced-AND-opened can separate them. Neither question is answerable by a reader who cannot see the numbers, which is why this is the first step and not the threshold. NO THRESHOLD IS PROPOSED HERE, deliberately. The corpus today is 10 lessons with 7 recorded surfacings and 3 opens, over about fifteen hours of usage data. A promotion rule fitted to that would be fitting noise — #3311's failure, and the warning lesson #4228 was written to carry. `UsageBadge` already declines to render a verdict under three surfacings for the same reason. So #4196 stays open: its subject, the promotion path, is still unbuilt. What lands is the evidence it needs. - REST `GET /api/lessons` and MCP `list_lessons` attach `usage` to every row, from one aggregate per page rather than a per-row read, which would be N+1 by construction. Every row carries the key zero-filled, so "never surfaced" is a state a reader can see rather than a missing field they have to interpret. - MCP `get_lesson` attaches it too, and reads it BEFORE recording its own pull. That door records a pull on every open — it has to, or the kind sits permanently at zero — which makes the order load-bearing in a way it is not for a kind that only counts. The REST detail door already ordered it this way; the two now agree about what the number means. - `LessonDetailView` renders `UsageBadge` (snippet #3460) rather than re-spelling the chip, with the advice keyed to this kind: a lesson that is repeatedly offered and never opened is usually keyed to a situation nobody is in, so it points at re-keying `when_to_apply`, not at deleting the claim. Guards, in the two styles this pair of doors already uses: the MCP side driven behaviourally through mocks, including the call ORDER for `get_lesson`; the REST side on structure like its siblings in test_lesson_rest_door.py, because the route is decorated and returns a Quart response. Rule 167's falsifier is included. KNOWN GAP, not fixed here: `KnowledgeView` is the only lesson LIST in the UI and it reads `/knowledge`, not `/lessons` — so the REST listing change reaches `frontend/src/api/lessons.ts::listLessons`, which currently has no consumer. The agent-facing listing does reach a reader today. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01821k5B3Ysecp9fNYs92Kuy
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.
