A command that reports the current settings and recent monitoring data for a setup called fable mode.

In plain words
What is it for?
It reads configuration files and counts recent telemetry events, including events linked to turn-discipline drift.
Why use it?
It makes it easier to see whether the configured writing style, model settings, and recent hook events match expectations.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

fable-status scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

What it actually says

Report the current fable-mode posture. Steps:

  1. Read ~/.claude/settings.json (and .claude/settings.local.json if present). Report: outputStyle (is it Fable?), model, effortLevel, alwaysThinkingEnabled.
  2. Summarize hook drift telemetry by running:
python3 - <<'PY'
import calendar, json, os, time
path = os.environ.get("FABLE_TELEMETRY_FILE",
                      os.path.expanduser("~/.claude/fable-mode/telemetry.jsonl"))
cutoff = time.time() - 7 * 86400
counts = {}
try:
    for line in open(path):
        try:
            e = json.loads(line)
            ts = calendar.timegm(time.strptime(e["ts"], "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ"))
            if ts >= cutoff:
                key = (e["hook"], e["pattern"])
                counts[key] = counts.get(key, 0) + 1
        except Exception:
            continue
except FileNotFoundError:
    pass
if not counts:
    print("no telemetry events in the last 7 days")
for (hook, pattern), n in sorted(counts.items(), key=lambda kv: -kv[1]):
    print(f"{n:4d}  {hook}  {pattern}")
PY
  1. Interpret: stop-gate counts mean turn-discipline drift (doctrine §2); stop-gate-subagent counts mean subagent turn-discipline drift (subagents returning intentions instead of findings); bash-discipline means tool-discipline drift (§6); honesty-nudge firings are informational (failures occurred and were flagged).
  2. Report in prose, outcome first: overall posture, then the table framed as the week's enforcement tax — each count is drift the plugin caught that would otherwise have shipped — then which doctrine section (if any) needs reinforcement per LOOP.md, then one line on how to disable (/plugin → disable fable-mode; unset outputStyle).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
