How to prompt Fable (and other next-generation frontier agentic models) to get outsized results — distilled from Matt Shumer's "How I Prompt Fable." Use when handing a big build/creative/engineering task to a top-tier model, when the user asks "help me write a prompt for X", mentions Fable, /loop, or ultracode, or says "I can't get results like the demos." Shifts prompting from step-by-step instructions to goal + house rules + a hard self-checkable bar + looping.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'prompting-fable' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'prompting-fable' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named prompting-fable already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/amanaiproduct/amans-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'f80b1815f597f409a29f27d86c2548a02bc3deea' -- 'skills/prompting-fable' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/prompting-fable' ~/.agents/skills/'prompting-fable' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'prompting-fable' ~/.claude/skills/'prompting-fable' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
