Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# fable-baton: Agent instructions

> Canonical instructions for all coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot). Codex reads this directly; Claude and GitHub Copilot use pointer files when present.

fable-baton is a Claude Code plugin that turns Fable 5 into a token-frugal orchestrator: Fable keeps judgment (intent, architecture, tradeoffs, review) while tiered subagents on Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku do the labor. It ships four agents (`scout`/Haiku, `executor`/Sonnet, `architect`/Opus, `verifier`/Haiku), a orchestration policy injected via a SessionStart hook, and enforcement hooks (SessionStart, UserPromptSubmit, PostToolUse) that keep nudging delegation through a session.

Repo layout:
- `agents/`: the four tiered subagent definitions (`architect.md`, `executor.md`, `scout.md`, `verifier.md`)
- `hooks/`: `hooks.json` plus the shell scripts (`session-start.sh`, `prompt-nudge.sh`, `inline-counter.sh`) that enforce delegation
- `policy/orchestration.md`: the orchestration policy text injected at session start
- `skills/baton-setup/`: the one-time setup skill that sets the default model to `best`
- `.claude-plugin/`: `plugin.json` (plugin manifest) and `marketplace.json`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add realgarit/fable-baton/AGENTS.md@sha256:dec6f95b6a296024

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.4f04545, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
