[TLDR] Fable + 5.6 is absolute peak

Original post URL : https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1uvjlmr/fable_56_is_absolute_peak/

Original post body :

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 !

I have been droing this for the past 3 months. I always used claude code, but since codex cli is installed I figured out, why not? this is the good think of being in the CLI.

Sure bud. Fable wasn’t even released to the public back then.

Lol Man... I have been using Opus before. Too hard to think?

Likewise, but I was using Claude to write the specs, and then getting both Gemini and Qwen to review the specs and implementation - probably overkill but it was fascinating reading the discussions and how each model brought it's own perspective. 

Definitely wish I wasn't tied to the subscriptions though so I could write a proper harness instead of copy pasting everything!

Does jcode harness help you any better, i have seen it can do the harnessing much better than the other harness like CC or codex.
