fable-verify

fable-verify is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ayborg43/fable-mode. It costs 133 tokens per session (655 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only completion check for existing coding work, such as a diff, branch, pull request, or claimed finished change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to report which conditions are met or unmet, with evidence, without editing or committing changes.
Why use it?
It reduces false confidence by establishing the requirements, inspecting the actual work, and reproducing tests or flows instead of trusting earlier claims.

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-verify 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 30 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Fable Verify

A standalone run of fable-mode's completion gate: verify that existing work actually does what it claims, without having done the work yourself. You are the fresh eyes — do not adopt the implementer's framing, and do not trust any result you did not reproduce in this session.

This skill changes nothing. Read code, run tests, exercise flows — but no edits, no fixes, no commits. If the user wants findings fixed, that's the next task, not this one.

Procedure

  1. Establish the spec. Find the checkable conditions the work is measured against, in this order: a SPEC/state file on disk (e.g. NOTES.fable.md), the PR or commit description, the user's statement of what was supposed to happen. If none yields checkable conditions, ask once — all questions in one message — then commit to the answer.
  2. Inventory the claim. Identify the diff, branch, or artifacts said to be done. git diff/git log the actual change — verify against what exists, not what was described.
  3. Run the verification yourself. Execute the tests, the harness, the build — whatever proves each condition. "The tests pass" in a report is a claim; the test run in your session is evidence.
  4. Exercise the real flow for anything user-facing: run the command, hit the endpoint, open the page. Tests alone miss wiring mistakes — code that exists but is never called.
  5. Read the diff as a skeptical reviewer: constraint violations, out-of-scope changes, silent scope creep, half-finished edges the happy path hides.
  6. When a fable-verifier agent type is available and the work is large, delegate the adversarial pass to it and consolidate its findings with your own.

Report

Lead with the verdict: VERIFIED (every condition met with evidence), NOT VERIFIED (any condition unmet or unprovable), or VERIFIED WITH FINDINGS. Then:

  • The condition checklist — each item met or not met, with the command output that proves it. A condition you cannot evidence is not met, however plausible.
  • Findings, most severe first, each with file, line, and the concrete failure scenario.
  • What you checked and found clean, in a sentence or two — so a clean verdict is distinguishable from a shallow look.

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.
