fable-delegate

fable-delegate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from imMamdouhaboammar/get-fable. It costs 110 tokens per session (1,497 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for assigning independent coding or research tasks to parallel workers or subagents. Each worker receives a limited responsibility, clear ownership, and criteria for handing its result back.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to divide multi-file work, coordinate parallel investigations, define worker acceptance checks, and integrate the results under one parent agent.
Why use it?
It reduces confusion and merge conflicts when several tasks can proceed independently, while preventing parallel work where tasks share an unresolved decision or unstable interface.

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-delegate 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 4d 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.

Fable Delegate

Use parallel workers when independence is real, not merely because there are multiple tasks.

Mission

Delegation should reduce latency without multiplying ambiguity. The parent remains responsible for decomposition, contract stability, integration, and final proof.

A worker is not a place to dump context. It receives one bounded responsibility with enough evidence to act independently and a return contract that makes integration reviewable.

Activate When

  • two or more cards can proceed without waiting for each other's decisions;
  • specialist perspectives can investigate independent hypotheses in parallel;
  • separate components have stable interfaces and independent acceptance checks;
  • independent review/research can be parallelized without shared mutation.

Do Not Activate When

  • workers would change the same unstable contract or invariant;
  • one card's design result changes another card's requirements;
  • a tiny task costs more to explain/integrate than to execute;
  • the parent has not established enough context to write precise worker contracts;
  • all workers depend on one unresolved architectural decision.

Independence Classification

For each candidate pair, classify coupling:

Coupling Parallel? Why
Different files + different contracts usually yes low semantic overlap
Different files + shared unstable contract no semantic conflict despite path separation
Same integration file + separate components maybe, but serialize integration component work may parallelize; integration does not
Shared read-only evidence yes no ownership conflict
Same database schema/invariant usually no one worker can invalidate another's assumptions
Independent research hypotheses yes merge conclusions, not source edits
Parent decision required by both no resolve decision first

Delegation Protocol

Stage 1 — Prove independence

Check:

  • write ownership;
  • shared contracts/invariants;
  • dependency order;
  • generated artifacts;
  • migration/state coupling;
  • integration hotspot;
  • whether one worker failure changes another worker's assumptions.

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.

fable-delegate is a skill published in the GitHub repository imMamdouhaboammar/get-fable (3 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 110 tokens to every session and 1,497 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-05.
