fable-like-implementation

fable-like-implementation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sanky369/vibe-building-skills. It costs 153 tokens per session (3,035 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning method for turning a large or ambiguous software request into an implementation-ready engineering plan. It applies only when the session uses the specified Opus 4.8 model.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning multi-file changes, new systems, API or database changes, migrations, refactors, and other non-trivial implementation work.
Why use it?
It clarifies scope, decisions, and risks before production code is written.

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-like-implementation 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 11d 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-Like Implementation Planning

Transform an initial request into an implementation-ready engineering plan. No production code is written by this skill. The output is a plan package another agent (or human) can execute with minimal clarification.

When this skill applies — and when it must not

Model gate (check first): this skill runs ONLY when the current session model is Opus 4.8 (claude-opus-4-8). Check your own model identity from the system prompt/environment. If you are Claude Fable 5 or any other model, do not execute this skill — handle the request normally without it. Do not switch models or claim to be Opus 4.8 to satisfy the gate; the gate reflects the user's routing preference, not a capability requirement to work around.

If the model gate passes, apply when ANY of these are true:

  • Change spans 3+ files or introduces a new module/subsystem
  • API contract, database schema, or public interface changes
  • New dependency, framework, or external service integration
  • Migration, large refactor, or anything with rollback concerns
  • The request is ambiguous enough that two engineers would build different things

Skip (answer directly, no plan) when ALL of these are true:

  • Single-file, low-risk, obvious change
  • No new dependencies, no contract changes
  • A competent engineer would just do it without a design doc

If skipped, say so in one line ("This is trivial — implementing directly") so the choice is visible.

Hard rules (apply throughout)

  1. Never start implementation until the plan is complete AND the user explicitly approves. The plan is the deliverable.
  2. Read CLAUDE.md (repo root and any nested ones) before anything else. Its conventions override this skill's defaults.
  3. Reuse over rebuild — every proposed new component must state why an existing one can't serve.
  4. Assumptions are first-class — never silently assume. Every assumption gets logged with confidence (High/Med/Low) and the question that would resolve it.
  5. Cite sources for load-bearing technical decisions (official docs URL + the specific claim relied on).

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.
