zmNinjaNg: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/fable-review/SKILL.md

fable-review is a skill for Claude Code from ZoneMinder/zmNinjaNg. It costs 77 tokens per session (4,010 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A structured codebase review that examines project health across several areas and produces a scored report. Each reported issue must be confirmed by reading the relevant files and include evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for a full repository review, quality audit, health check, scorecard, or Fable review of an existing codebase.
Why use it?
It reduces unsupported opinions and gives another developer enough detail to carry out the recommended fixes.

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 10d 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 Codebase Review

Overview

A scored, multi-pillar codebase review whose output is a report another agent (Opus) executes without re-deriving anything. The pillars and the report shape come from the first run of this review (issue #217, PR #218, overall 7.5 to 8.1); the rules below are what that run and its two follow-up reviews proved necessary.

Core principle: every finding was confirmed by reading the file it cites. A grep hit is a lead, not a finding, and a pillar score with no evidence under it is an opinion that does not get a number.

Second principle: the report is executed by an agent that cannot see this session. Anything a finding leaves implicit - the fix, the verification, the risk, the reason a nearby thing must not change - is work the executor will get wrong.

Preconditions (check both before anything else)

Clean context

The review must start from a clean context. A session that has already done implementation work carries the assumptions it made while working, and it will grade its own output: gates it stopped checking read as green, code it wrote reads as idiomatic, and drift it introduced becomes invisible. Re-running these checks from a fresh context is the point of the review.

If this session already holds prior work - edits, debugging, a long conversation, or anything beyond the invocation itself - stop and say:

This review needs a clean context. Start a fresh session (/clear, or claude -p "/fable-review" from a new shell) on Fable, then run /fable-review there.

Pillar agents inherit this: each gets a fresh context and a written brief. Never paste session history into a dispatch.

Model

This review runs on Fable only. Fable's judgment across a whole repository is the deliverable; the orchestrator's model bounds everything under it (see Orchestration in agents/generic/claude-workflows.md).

  1. Your own system prompt names the model you are running as.
  2. If that name is not Fable (model id claude-fable-5), stop immediately. Read nothing, dispatch nothing, write nothing.
  3. Say exactly this and end the turn:

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.
