fable-review

fable-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from imMamdouhaboammar/get-fable. It costs 122 tokens per session (1,741 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An independent review of a Git change, such as a code diff or pull request. It looks for concrete defects, compatibility problems, broken assumptions, lifecycle issues, and missing tests rather than judging style alone.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review bug fixes, new features, refactors, pull requests, release candidates, and pre-commit changes for regressions or contract violations.
Why use it?
It provides a second examination before merging or releasing code, including when automated checks are already green. Findings are tied to specific changes and plausible failure modes.

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-review 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 6d 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 — 203 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Fable Review

Review the change as an independent engineer trying to find plausible defects, not as the implementer explaining why the patch is probably fine.

Mission

A useful review connects a concrete line/change to a concrete failure mode. It prioritizes correctness, invariants, compatibility, lifecycle behavior, and test adequacy before style preference.

The reviewer should be skeptical without manufacturing noise.

Activate When

  • a diff/PR/implementation is ready for independent inspection;
  • verification is green but human/semantic risks remain;
  • repository conventions or public contracts may have been violated;
  • a release/merge needs grounded review evidence.

Do Not Activate When

  • no diff or concrete change exists;
  • the main task is automated execution evidence (fable-verify);
  • the requested work is threat modeling/security specialization (fable-security);
  • blocking behavior is already known and needs implementation (fable-execute).

Review Classification

Classify the change because different diffs deserve different review depth.

Change Primary review focus
Bug fix root cause, regression test, adjacent paths
New feature contract, error states, lifecycle, compatibility
Refactor invariant preservation, accidental behavior delta
Concurrency ordering, shared state, cleanup, race/deadlock
Persistence/migration partial failure, transactions, compatibility, rollback
Public API/CLI callers, defaults, error/exit behavior, versioning
Dependency upgrade changed semantics, transitive behavior, config
Packaging/build exports, artifact contents, generated files, runtime entrypoints

Review Protocol

Stage 1 — Reconstruct intent independently

Read:

  • user/issue/card acceptance;
  • diff against the correct base;
  • relevant existing contracts/tests/instructions.

State the intended behavior in your own words before judging the implementation.

Stage 2 — Read the whole diff, then trace risky changes

Do not review isolated snippets only. Identify:

  • public/observable behavior delta;
  • state/data-flow delta;
  • control-flow/error delta;
  • lifecycle/resource delta;
  • concurrency delta;
  • config/generated/package delta.

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.
