The v0.2.0 bump landed after our test but adds only discipline rules — name every subagent's model explicitly, recompute claimed numbers from disk, falsify new checks before trusting them, own the clock on long or paid jobs, and take two isolated takes on open decisions. We re-checked the audit reference and every safety property we praised is intact: never-delete archive-only remediation, per-item consent, a SHA-256 manifest, one-prompt restore, and diff-plus-approval before any CLAUDE.md or settings.json edit. The v0.2.0 probe-mode and release-gate churn went to the sibling fable-super-god-mode, not this skill. The verbatim install works from a bare HOME and Stage 0 is clean, so the pass holds.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Fable God Mode does

A token-cost discipline for multi-step coding/research sessions: the premium model plans (first 10%) and reviews/integrates (last 10%), while Haiku/Sonnet/Opus subagents execute the verbose middle 80% and return compact summaries. Also offers a report-only, reversible stale-config audit for CLAUDE.md/skills bloat. Triggers on multi-step tasks, delegation/orchestration requests, token-cost complaints, or config-cleanup requests.

Commands — how to trigger Fable God Mode

  • /fable-god-mode 10-80-10 delegation discipline: expensive model plans and reviews, cheap subagents do the verbose middle.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Plan out adding rate limiting to our Flask API on a tight token budget
  • This session is burning tokens fast, can we delegate more of the work?
  • Audit my CLAUDE.md and skills folder for stale bloat, don't delete anything
