Use when the user asks to validate a GitHub issue with Fable 5.1 and then autonomously drive it to a reviewed PR in one shot — "fable-validate-loop", "fable validate and work on #N", "fully automate issue #N with fable". Runs fable-validate, auto-applies its update-issue edits when the verdict calls for it, has fableplan produce and post a Fable 5.1 implementation plan (skipped only when the verdict's title-floored signal reads `plan: no`, which means the title score and the recomputed score…

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-validate-loop

Chain fable-validate → (conditional) update issue → (conditional) fableplan → work-on-issue-loop into one unattended run. Parse each skill's output and proceed where the interactive skill would wait for the user, except at the STOP rows below.

**Do not skip or reorder the chain.** Validation gates planning, and the plan gates implementation. The only sanctioned skip is the step-4 score gate. Every other step of each skill still runs.

## Input

Same as fable-validate: issue URL, `#<N>` / `<N>` / `owner/repo#N`, or nothing (the issue named, validated, planned, or filed in this session; with none, stop and ask). Never pick an issue from a list.

Optional `targetBranch` (`{ issue, targetBranch }` or a prose "target branch <name>") passes unchanged to every validate, plan, and build step; `work-on-issue` step 1 ("Target") owns its validation.

## Steps

### 1. Run fable-validate

Invoke `fable-validate` (Skill tool) for the issue and let it run fully. It emits the standard verdict block:

```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add richkuo/rk-skills/fable-validate-loop@sha256:1a6d15707e72c5f3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.61bf5e6, 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.
