fable-orchestrate

# fable-orchestrate Run a task with **Fable 5 as orchestrator** and **Sonnet 5 workers**. The main agent (you, on Fable) owns decomposition, specs, every accept/reject decision, integration, and the PR; workers own only the mechanical implementation of their piece. Principle: mechanical volume on Sonnet, every judgment call on Fable. ## Input The user provides a task description in prose. If no task is obvious from the invocation or the conversation, ask what to orchestrate before decomposing. ## Model check This skill assumes the session model IS Fable 5 — the orchestrator's judgment is the point. If you are not running on Fable 5, tell the user and ask whether to switch (`/model fable`) or proceed with the current model as orchestrator anyway. ## Steps ### 1. Decompose — biased against fan-out Read the relevant code first, then split the task into worker pieces. Decomposition is the highest-leverage failure point of this whole skill — a bad split wastes everything downstream — so: - **Default to fewer, larger, sequential pieces.** Parallelize only when pieces touch disjoint files; parallelism is an optimization, never the goal. One worker doing the whole task is a valid decomposition. - **Pin the interfaces between pieces upfront.** Where two pieces meet (a function signature, a schema, an event shape, a route contract), the spec states the exact interface both sides build against — workers must never invent their side of a seam. - **Each spec must be fully self-co...
