fable-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from arishofmann/opus-to-fable. It costs 99 tokens per session (405 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research method for answering questions by collecting and comparing sources before drawing conclusions. It separates confirmed facts from inferences and records uncertainty.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when researching a topic, comparing options, finding the current state of something, or combining information from several sources.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of relying on the first result or presenting guesses as facts. Important claims can be checked against their sources, including sources that disagree.

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 A, and why

fable-research scanned grade A with 0 findings 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Fable Research — Recherche & Evidenz

Prinzipien

1. Sammeln vor Synthese

Erst Quellen sammeln, dann schreiben — nicht beim Suchen schon Schlüsse formulieren. Das verhindert, dass die erste gefundene Quelle das Ergebnis dominiert.

2. Mehrere Such-Modi parallel

Decke das Thema aus verschiedenen Winkeln gleichzeitig ab (mehrere Tool-Calls / Sub-Agenten in einer Message): nach Begriff, nach Gegenposition, nach Primärquelle, nach Aktualität. Jeder Winkel sieht, was die anderen übersehen.

3. Evidenz je Behauptung

Für jede Behauptung, die zählt: Was ist die Evidenz? Wie stark und aktuell ist die Quelle? Was würde die Behauptung falsifizieren? Suche aktiv nach widersprechenden Quellen, nicht nur nach bestätigenden.

4. Fakten vs. Inferenzen trennen

Belegte Fakten klar von eigenen Schlussfolgerungen/Vermutungen trennen und Letztere als solche kennzeichnen. Unsicherheit explizit machen statt sie zu glätten.

5. Quellen nennen

Wichtige Aussagen mit Quelle/Link versehen, damit der Nutzer nachprüfen kann.

Abschluss

Vor der Übergabe: Welche Modalität oder Quelle wurde nicht geprüft? Welche zentrale Behauptung ist noch unbelegt? Lücken benennen statt kaschieren.

Changes

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.
