fable-mode

fable-mode is a skill for Claude Code from imMamdouhaboammar/get-fable. It costs 36 tokens per session (350 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A compatibility entry for an older name of the Fable coding workflow. It redirects users to the current workflow and preserves rules for research, planning, testing, delegation, review, release, and recovery when direct redirection is unavailable.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a project still invokes the legacy Fable mode name, or when you need the described evidence-based coding lifecycle around changes.
Why use it?
It lets existing installations and requests keep working after the workflow was renamed. It also prevents old and new versions from drifting apart.

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-mode 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 5d 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-mode compatibility adapter

fable-mode is a legacy entry name. New behavior belongs to the canonical get-fable skill pack and skills/get-fable/registry.json.

When the canonical pack is reachable, route there instead of maintaining a second workflow here.

If the host cannot invoke canonical skills directly, preserve these invariants inline:

  • route by missing evidence or decision
  • resolve repository unknowns and current external facts before they influence architecture
  • use bounded plans for broad work and red-green checks for testable behavior changes
  • delegate only disjoint work with explicit ownership and acceptance
  • treat review, security, release, handoff, evaluation, and recovery as distinct jobs
  • advance mutation state after workspace changes
  • require fresh current-generation completion evidence after the final mutation
  • change the diagnosis before another repair after repeated failure

Evidence types stay narrow: research supports decisions, receipts support execution provenance, handoffs support continuity, and none of them substitutes for behavior verification.

This workflow changes process around a model. It does not change model weights, reproduce a proprietary model, expose hidden reasoning, or guarantee equivalent capability.

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.

fable-mode is a skill published in the GitHub repository imMamdouhaboammar/get-fable (4 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 350 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
