Use when the user wants a GitHub issue validated by a Fable 5.1 subagent. Spins up a read-only subagent running on Fable 5.1 that executes the validate-issue procedure (claim tracing, architecture/consistency checks, complexity score), then relays the verdict back to the main agent, which presents it and takes any follow-on action (update issue, work on issue). Trigger on "/fable-validate", "fable validate <issue>", or "validate this with fable".

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

Delegate issue validation to a **Fable 5.1** subagent, then act on its verdict in the main agent. The subagent only validates — it never edits files or the issue; the main agent handles all follow-on actions.

## Input

Same as `validate-issue`:
- Full URL: `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/issues/<N>`
- Short form: `#<N>` or bare `<N>` (current repo)
- `owner/repo#N`
- **Nothing** — the issue named, validated, planned, or filed in this session, per validate-issue's input rule; with none, stop and ask. Never pick an issue from a list.

## Steps

### 1. Resolve the validation procedure and the issue

Locate the `validate-issue` SKILL.md the subagent must follow, using the first that resolves in this order:

1. `<repo>/.claude/skills/validate-issue/SKILL.md` (if it exists)
2. `~/.claude/skills/validate-issue/SKILL.md`
3. Any other install location — search by name, e.g. `ls ~/.claude/plugins/*/skills/validate-issue/SKILL.md`.

Record the absolute path. If none of these resolves, stop and tell the user.

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add richkuo/rk-skills/fable-validate@sha256:ea60f0c602f6a594

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.
