# Fable-5 for Codex

Fable-5 is a local Codex completion-verification plugin, retaining audits, reviews, fact checks, understanding, design options and sweeps. The unreleased 0.5 source adds requirement-mapped evidence and stale-aware handoffs.

Latest public tagged release: `v0.4.0-alpha.2`.

Source skills (the tagged alpha.2 release does not include fable-verify):

- `$fable-audit`
- `$fable-verify`
- `$fable-deep-review`
- `$fable-fact-check`
- `$fable-understand`
- `$fable-design-options`
- `$fable-sweep`

Fable requires source-backed evidence, explicit unknowns and truthful traces. Model profiles are centralized and resolved against the chosen client's catalog; explicit overrides and fallbacks remain visible. Preferences do not establish account access or actual execution. Quick verification avoids unnecessary workers; all claimed subagents require actual runtime IDs.

Boundary: subagents may research and verify, but the main agent owns edits, commits, pushes, reviews, deploys, publication, credentials, and money or wallet actions.
