Real A/B on a terse 4-method Go ring buffer: my unguided addition included a doc comment, an error return no sibling method uses, a defensive nil-check comment, and a TODO; following the skill produced a 3-line method indistinguishable from the file's other methods. Repo ships real pressure-test transcripts (bench/fixtures/transcripts/s6-native-code/) backing its 'tested on Opus 4.8' claim.

What Fable Native Code does

Enforces that new code additions mirror the surrounding file's naming, comment density, and error-handling style rather than the model's default verbose habits. Triggers before adding comments, docstrings, try/catch, validation, logging, or TODOs to an existing file, and before narrating style choices in the reply.

Commands — how to trigger Fable Native Code

  • /fable-native-code Makes diffs match the file's existing idiom instead of your default habits.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • add a Last method to this Go file matching its existing terse style
  • make this new function look like it was written by the same author
  • add error handling here without changing the file's existing style
