What it does

Fable Advisor is an agent skill from fcakyon/claude-codex-settings. This skill should be used when the user asks for a "Fable second opinion", wants to "check a plan before committing", needs another view after repeated failures, or explicitly invokes "fable-advisor".

Its SKILL.md is about 260 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Battle-tested Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor configs, plugins, hooks and agents with Kimi, MiniMax and GLM API support. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks for a Fable second opinion
  • Wants to check a plan before committing
  • Needs another view after repeated failures
  • Explicitly invokes fable-advisor

Example prompts

  • “Fable second opinion”
  • “check a plan before committing”
  • “fable-advisor”
  • “/fable-advisor”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. In Claude Code, delegate to the native fable-advisor agent. Do not launch
  2. Elsewhere, run this exact shape from this skill's directory so the request

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a035b4e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Fable Advisor loads about 262 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 112 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~262

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Fable Advisor

Get a focused second opinion from Claude Fable 5.1 without substituting the host tool's model.

Route by tool

  1. In Claude Code, delegate to the native fable-advisor agent. Do not launch another Claude Code process.

  2. Elsewhere, run this exact shape from this skill's directory so the request reaches standard input:

    node scripts/ask_fable.mjs <<'REVIEW'
    the review request
    REVIEW

State the decision, the evidence behind it, and any constraint that changes the verdict. Name the paths that matter: the reviewer has read-only access and checks load-bearing claims itself.

Return Fable's answer without rewriting it. If claude is missing or unauthenticated, surface the error and ask the user to install it or sign in. Never review in its place.
