What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.
-
fable-mode
Enforces staged execution discipline on large tasks: a written stage plan, delegation to named fable agents where the runtime supports it, a failable verification check at each stage, and a skeptical self-review before delivery. Trigger when the user explicitly asks ("do this thoroughly", "be systematic", "deep work mode") OR when the task objectively spans multiple files, multiple sources, or mu…

double-check
Automatic final verification pass on completed deliverables. Runs automatically at the end of every fable-mode run (fable-mode, fable-fable, fable-opus, fable-sonnet, fable-haiku) — those skills invoke it before delivery. Also triggers when the user says "double check this", "double-check", or wants the finished work re-checked without doing it themselves. Uses a panel of model-tier checker agent…

execution-guardrails
Always-on operational guardrails, model-independent. Apply on EVERY task and EVERY model (Fable, Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, and any future tier) whether or not fable-mode's staged loop is running. Three rules: (1) verify-before-flag — never raise a warning about a problem that hasn't been confirmed present by a direct check; (2) warning batching — accumulate minor concerns and surface them together at…

fable-fable
Run fable-mode execution discipline on Claude Fable 5.1 — the top of the escalation ladder and the strongest staged run available. Routes the task to the @fable-orchestrator agent with its model overridden to Fable (`model: "fable"`), which stages the work, delegates artifact production to @fable-worker-sonnet / @fable-worker-haiku, and cold-checks deliverables with @fable-verifier. Trigger when…

fable-haiku
Run fable-mode execution discipline on Claude Haiku. Routes the task to the @fable-worker-haiku agent, whose definition carries the staged loop with tightened verification (no bare "unverified" allowed) and an escalate-don't-improvise rule. Trigger when the user explicitly asks for thorough/systematic handling run cheaply or fast ("fable on haiku", "deep work mode but cheap", "stage this on haiku…

fable-opus
Run fable-mode execution discipline on Claude Opus — one rung below Fable 5.1 on the escalation ladder. Routes the task to the @fable-orchestrator agent (Opus, Write-less), which stages the work, delegates artifact production to @fable-worker-sonnet / @fable-worker-haiku, and cold-checks deliverables with @fable-verifier. Trigger when the user explicitly asks for thorough/systematic/"deep work" h…

fable-sonnet
Run fable-mode execution discipline on Claude Sonnet. Routes the task to the @fable-worker-sonnet agent, whose definition carries the staged loop with step-3 verification enforced hardest (Sonnet's known gap), optionally followed by a cold @fable-verifier pass. Trigger when the user explicitly asks for thorough/systematic/"deep work" handling on Sonnet ("fable on sonnet", "stage this on sonnet",…

Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
