fable-seatlisted

Operating profile for a Claude Code session whose model is Fable (`claude-fable-5`) — the dials that make a Fable-led session run cheaply. Effort defaults to `high` and steps DOWN for routine work (not `xhigh` by reflex); task framing leads with the outcome instead of prior-model step-by-step scaffolding; the prompt cache stays warm by farming cheap work to a subagent rather than inline-switching the main loop's model; long runs get a task budget plus context compaction; and durable state lives on the memory surface. Apply ONLY when the session model is Fable — it is a genuine NO-OP on Opus and every non-Fable model. This is Fable-mechanics guidance, NOT a superiority claim (it does not assert Fable beats Opus). Use it when you're running Fable and want to set the operating dials, before kicking off a long agentic run on Fable, or when asked "how should I run Fable", "Fable operating profile", "Fable seat", "calibrate for Fable", "am I running Fable cost-efficiently".

# fable-seat **When the session model is Fable (`claude-fable-5`), apply this operating profile. On Opus — or any other non-Fable model — this entire profile is a NO-OP: apply none of it.** Fable is priced above Opus, and its mechanics reward different defaults than the models before it. This profile is the set of dials that make a Fable-led session run *cheaply* — nothing more. **It is not a superiority claim.** It does not assert Fable beats Opus; the standing no-measured-edge prior holds. The only claim here is narrow and conditional: *if* you're in the Fable seat, here's how to run it without paying for reflexes tuned to older models. ## Gate first — is this session Fable? Check the session model (stated in your environment / system context; the exact id is `claude-fable-5`). - **Not Fable** (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, anything else) **→ STOP here.** This profile does not apply. Do not step effort down, do not de-prescribe your task framing, do not change caching behavior on account of this profile. It is a genuine no-op — the session runs exactly as it would if this file didn't exist. - **Fable → apply the dials below.** This gate is the whole safety of the profile. Every dial that follows is Fable-mechanics-specific, so applying one to a different model is a regression, not a neutral act. ## The dials ### 1. Effort: default `high`, step DOWN — not `xhigh` by reflex Fable inverts the old instinct. Its low/medium effort often clears what prior models needed `xhigh` to
