On all three rule arms (prompt_rule, pre_tool_rule, write_path_rule), after the direct match, a lesson matching the moment at the notes menu's own bar brings the rule(s) it is CONFIRMED to be an instance of, rendered in rule voice with "Reached through lesson #N “…”, a recorded instance of it." - Confirmed links only (lesson_rules.confirmed_lessons / confirmed_rules_in_scope). A suggested link carrying its rule would manufacture the co-arrival #4637 counts and prove itself. - Scope kept: a lesson surfaces everywhere, but the rule it brings must be global or this project's own — milestone 414's boundary, not reopened through a side door. - Suppression is by RULE: anything the direct band named or the session ledger holds is skipped, whichever lesson reached it. - Its own slot (VIA_LESSON_LIMIT = 1), not a rule slot — a stated default, since the plan's "decide by measurement" has nothing to measure until links are confirmed (#4632). Its own source, rule_via_lesson: registered, RANKED for pull-through, logged whenever it searches. - Nothing searched at all while no lesson carries a confirmed link, which is every install until one is judged. - build_prompt_rule_hint / build_tool_rule_hint are now thin wrappers over the direct arms (_prompt_rule_hint / _tool_rule_hint); the arm leaves its query in `_via_query` only when it ran, so a disabled arm or a blank prompt brings no rule in either, and the key never leaves the server. - Via-lesson rules are not fed to the #4637 co-surfacing recorder: only direct matches are evidence.

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.
