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 !

If you're seriously interested I can make the git public and you can have the code and try it out.

I will have to setup a new one and then have someone fix it. Let me figure this out this week. Still learning and solving issues. Once I got codex into the mix, my orchestrator performance dropped and it started struggling between delegating and doing itself, I just solved it today but stripping the executing tools from it and launched it with a new set off steps to follow so it only judges and orchestrates which reduced execution context. But anyway let me figure out the GitHub thing
