Fable Skill

A metacognitive playbook for hard, multi-step, or ambiguous tasks: how to decompose problems, verify your own work before presenting it, and decide what to do next when the path is unclear.

Install (Claude Code / Cowork plugin)

This repo is a plugin marketplace. From an interactive Claude Code session:

/plugin marketplace add <your-github-username>/fable-skill
/plugin install fable-skill@fable-tools

Update later with:

/plugin marketplace update fable-tools

Install (manual / no plugin system)

Copy the skill folder directly into your local skills directory:

cp -r plugins/fable-skill/skills/fable-skill ~/.claude/skills/fable-skill

Any Claude surface that reads ~/.claude/skills/ will pick it up on next load.
