fable-spark

fable-spark is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from imMamdouhaboammar/get-fable. It costs 112 tokens per session (1,531 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A small-step decision skill that chooses the next safe engineering action from the current workspace state, or recommends no action.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after edits, tests, failures, or state changes to decide whether to inspect evidence, run a check, advance the active task, or wait.
Why use it?
It prevents unnecessary planning or changes when recent evidence already indicates the smallest useful next step.

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-spark 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 173 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Fable Spark

Choose one small next move that improves the state of the current task—or deliberately say nothing.

Mission

Spark is not a planner, router, motivational assistant, or todo generator. It is a micro-policy for moments when the task is already in motion and the best next action should be small, concrete, and justified by current state.

The quality bar is not "a helpful suggestion." It is the least action that unlocks the next piece of evidence or safely advances the active Skill.

Activate When

  • an edit/test/failure/state transition just happened;
  • a long session needs the next atomic step rather than another full plan;
  • verification freshness/gates determine what should happen next;
  • an active specialist has a clear ownership boundary but the immediate move is unclear;
  • silence vs intervention itself is a useful decision.

Do Not Activate When

  • no primary Skill has been selected for substantial new work (get-fable);
  • architecture/decomposition is the unresolved problem (fable-plan);
  • repeated failure requires a diagnosis (fable-recover owns the work; Spark may only point there);
  • the user asked for execution, not a suggestion, and the executing Skill already knows its next step.

Situation Classification

State signal Spark posture
repeated failure stop mutation; diagnose
mutation newer than verification refresh relevant proof
explicit active gate missing satisfy that gate
review finding unresolved repair/replan finding
active card blocked by unknown discover/research/plan
complete/idle with no intent silence
specialist owns next obvious step usually silence; avoid narration
several equally plausible non-atomic moves defer to orchestrator/plan

Next-Move Protocol

Stage 1 — Read state before intent embellishment

Inspect phase, current Skill/card, mutation/verified generation, failure streak, evidence, unresolved findings, blockers, and latest user intent.

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.
