fable-loop from sahir619/fable-method is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

End-to-end orchestrated workflow that runs a task the way Fable ran sessions - parallel evidence subagents, one committed plan, surgical execution with an intent gate, adversarial verification agents, honest outcome-first report. Use for non-trivial multi-step tasks when the user says "/fable-loop", "run the fable loop", or "do this the way Fable would". For the rules alone without orchestration, use fable-method; for large multi-phase projects, prefer the GSD workflow and use this inside…
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
# The Fable Loop
This skill orchestrates the fable-method: read its SKILL.md first; its rules govern every stage. It is installed alongside this skill (in this plugin's `skills/fable-method/` directory, or `~/.claude/skills/fable-method/` for manual installs). The method says WHAT to check; this loop says WHO does the work: what runs in the main thread, what fans out to subagents, and what gets attacked before delivery.
**Gate first.** Trivial per the method's triviality gate: just do it, verify with the one obvious check, report in two sentences. No stages, no subagents. Everything else runs the four stages below in order.
## Stage 1 - PLAN (the first bookend)
1. Apply method Steps 0-3: classify the ask, define done with a named verification, state load-bearing assumptions.
2. **Evidence fan-out.** Spawn the evidence gatherers as parallel subagents in ONE message, never sequentially:
- codebase questions: an Explore agent per distinct area ("how does X work", "what depends on Y");
- library or fact questions: a research agent that fetches current docs or searches the web;
- each subagent returns distilled findings with citations, never raw file dumps.

How to install
mdr add sahir619/fable-method/fable-loop@sha256:9a317740231b79eaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260715.88b5cf3, 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.
