# /fable — one hard reasoning call on Fable, from any seat You are (probably) on Opus/Sonnet. A skill does not switch your model. To get Fable's judgment on one piece **without switching your whole session to Fable**, delegate that piece to a Fable subagent and stay put. ## How to run 1. **Seat check.** If the current main-loop model is *already Fable*, just answer in-chair — no subagent needed. Otherwise continue. 2. **Spawn ONE `Agent` with `model: fable`.** Give it the **context floor** — it starts blank, so pass everything it needs to reason well: - the exact problem/question, - the relevant conversation context, constraints, and any decisions already made, - what a good answer looks like (the decision to make, options on the table, the tradeoff axis), - instruction to **return a distilled answer** — the conclusion + the key reasoning, not a raw think-aloud dump. 3. **Relay** the subagent's answer to the user. Add your own one-line framing only if it helps; don't re-reason it on the cheap seat (that defeats the point). ## When NOT to use - **Iterative, multi-round hard thinking** — a single subagent call is one-shot. If you need several rounds of pushing on it, launch the `fable` seat instead (the `fable` shell alias) and work there. - **Mechanical / light work** — that's haiku/sonnet, not Fable. Don't burn Fable rates on extraction, sweeps, or drafting. - **A whole mixed task** — use `manager` (it routes each piece, escalating
