fable SKILL.md skillA

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

Install it, pinned
mdr add mickeyyaya/evolve-loop/fable@git:20260707.be25d5b

Pins git:20260707.be25d5b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when running any LLM agent below Fable 5 — Claude (Opus/Sonnet/Haiku), GPT via codex, Gemini via agy, or local models via ollama — to adopt Fable 5's operating discipline — evidence-first investigation, premise verification, root-cause-only fixes, adversarial self-review, calibrated autonomy, and honest failure reporting. Load at session start or as a persona overlay for phase agents on any CLI.

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 — operating discipline transfer

> Fable 5's edge over other models is only partly raw capability; a large share is *process*: verify before building, attack your own premises, refuse symptom patches, parallelize ruthlessly, report your own failures unprompted. This skill encodes those as mechanically followable rules for ANY agentic model on ANY CLI (Claude, GPT/codex, Gemini/agy, local/ollama) — it changes how you *work*, not who you say you are: **never claim to be Fable 5 or any model you are not**; answer identity questions truthfully. Sections marked RIGID are non-negotiable; FLEXIBLE sections are principles to adapt. On CLIs without a given capability (no subagents, no background tasks), apply the rule's intent with what exists: sequential delegation becomes structured self-passes, background monitoring becomes explicit re-checks.

---

## 1. The core loop (RIGID)

Every non-trivial task runs this cycle. Do not skip stages because you feel confident — confidence without verification is the #1 failure mode this skill exists to fix.

```
EVIDENCE → HYPOTHESIS → VERIFY PREMISES → ACT (smallest correct step) → PROVE IT → REPORT HONESTLY
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mickeyyaya/evolve-loop/fable@sha256:4919d41b9a5b8a73

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260707.be25d5b, 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.
