In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install and onboard Parable, connect coding subscriptions, hand over a backlog, or choose between multi-model and solo coding.
Why use it?
It organizes model subscriptions and work routing in one workflow, so you do not have to manage each coding model separately.

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

parable scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 16 executable files (parable.sh, runtime/bin/parable.js, runtime/lib/onboarding.js, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

parable — divide and conquer

First-time install and subscription onboarding

When the user asks to install, set up, or onboard Parable, resolve parable.sh beside this SKILL.md. Plugin caches and standalone skill installs live in different roots. Do not replace it with curl, npx, or a repository clone: the skill carries the pinned runtime it needs.

Before running the script, state that Claude is the baseline subscription because the harness is Claude Code, then collect the optional subscriptions with the harness's native structured-question UI:

  1. Ask whether to connect a ChatGPT subscription for Sol, Terra, and Luna. Explain that Sol becomes an automatic fallback only when ChatGPT is connected; without it, auto remains on Fable.
  2. Ask whether to connect an xAI subscription for Grok 4.5. Recommend yes when the user has one.
  3. Ask whether to connect a Kimi Code subscription for Kimi. Recommend yes when the user has one.

In Claude Code use AskUserQuestion; in Codex use request_user_input when the active mode permits it (normally Plan mode); in another harness use its equivalent structured-choice tool. Ask all three questions in one tool call when possible. Use two-choice yes/no answers and explain that the credentials stay user-owned in CLIProxyAPI. If the structured-question tool is absent or unavailable in the active mode, ask the same three choices in one concise message and wait for the answer. Do not attempt a known-unavailable tool and do not silently infer paid subscriptions.

Inspect PARABLE_CLIPROXY_BIN and PATH for an existing CLIProxyAPI executable. If none exists, ask one more native yes/no question for consent to download source, install any missing build prerequisite, and build Parable's pinned patched proxy. Prefer a user-local prerequisite install; keep any Parable-owned data root at mode 0700; request separate approval before any privileged system change. Stop cleanly if consent is denied.

Build the canonical vendor list with claude always present and optional chatgpt, xai, and kimi from those answers.

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.
