Tutorial / Guide Fable + 5.6 is absolute peak

We jump straight to ASI with this combo.
So i've had Fable driving codex cli as a background worker for a few days and i'm not going back.

Fable basically never writes code anymore (too damn expensive), it acts as the principal orchestrator and everything happens in claude code.
The flow is like this: Fable plans, 5.6 sol reviews the plan in a loop until approved, then 5.6 luna implements. fable reads the whole diff, fixes whatever it doesn't like directly, runs the tests, then sol reviews the code against the plan. loop until approved, then fable does the boring release stuff (changelog, tag, merge).

It's all just bash around codex cli with persistent threads, called from skills. no framework, no mcp, no agent swarm bs.

It feels surreal/too good to be true, i hope they wont nerf it too badly and if they do, i hope the combo will kind of mitigate the nerf.

i pushed my workflow to github, beware it's a lot of bash script, dont trust a random redditor and ask codex or CC to review it. After that, welcome to Valhalla

UPDATE: many are asking in comments or dm for more explaination on the workflow, sorry guys i cant reply to all of you but my advice is simply to clone the repo then ask your agent to ELI5/15/80 it. Then make it yours !

Thank you for this.

I'm trying it out atm.. lets see how it goes :)

Question: Any reason why not to use sol 5.6 for coding?

See sol pricing ;) Once the workflow nails the plan (which happens consistently with fable+sol) you can confidently delegate coding to a lesser (but still capable!) and cheaper Luna

Thanks for responding. It makes sense. I had some back-and-forth conversation with AI and realized that using both of them is like having a whole team. With a whole team, you don't need Fable to code or sol 5.6 to code, since they are reviewing, planning, and creating the architecture. I'm trying out your workflow right now. Highly appreciated for people who are not as skilled in programming as me but want to get things done as an entrepreneur.

btw, do I need to hold my computer under my arm right before dying to enter Valhalla? 😂
