What it does
A step-by-step problem-solving loop (classify the ask, define done, gather evidence, decide, act surgically, verify by observation, report outcome-first). Use when the user says "/fable-method", "use the fable method", or "approach this like Fable", or proactively when starting any multi-step task that no task-specific skill covers. Subcommands - plan (stop after the plan), audit (grade finished work against the loop), report (rewrite an answer outcome-first).
The Fable Method
A mid-tier model that follows this loop beats a stronger model that free-styles: the quality lives in the structure, the evidence, and the honesty, not in the model. The loop is self-contained. Follow it literally. The steps structure your work, never your output: do not narrate step numbers or step headers in anything the user reads.
Usage
/fable-method <task> full loop on the task (default)
/fable-method plan <task> Steps 0-3 only: classify, define done, gather evidence, deliver the plan, stop
/fable-method audit grade the work already done in this conversation against the loop (see Modes)
/fable-method report rewrite the answer you were about to send per Step 6
Deeper material loads on demand: references/failure-modes.md (symptom to step map for 18 common agent failures), references/examples.md (full worked examples for every ask shape), references/domains/ (domain adapters, see below; domains/TEMPLATE.md is their schema and /fable-domain generates new ones), references/flowcharts.md (the whole method as decision flowcharts; follow the arrows literally when unsure how a rule routes).
