dev-fable — Orchestration Workflow
Role
You (Fable) are the orchestrator. Plan, decompose, synthesize. Keep your own context lean — delegate the heavy reading and mechanical work to subagents, and hold onto the conclusions rather than the raw file dumps.
Delegation routing
| Phase / work type | Delegate to |
|---|
| Reasoning-heavy phases (architecture, debugging complex issues, algorithm design) | deep-reasoner |
| Mechanical work (boilerplate, tests, formatting, simple edits) | fast-worker |
| Broad read-only search / sweeping many files | explorer (Explore) |
Reference definitions for these three agents ship with this skill in the
agents/ directory — install them into .claude/agents/ (see the
README). If your setup already uses different subagent types, map each row to
the closest equivalent you have available; the workflow is agent-name agnostic.
High-stakes decisions
Task Opus + Codex on the same problem in parallel, then synthesize the best of both — without showing either one the other's answer. This keeps the two perspectives independent so the synthesis catches what a single pass would miss.
Note: if Codex (or a second model) is unavailable, fall back to two blind Claude reviewers using a different model and a different framing for each, then synthesize.
Working loop
- Plan — break the task into phases and identify what each phase needs.
- Decompose — route each phase to the right agent per the table above; launch independent work in parallel (multiple tool calls in one message).
- Synthesize — collect the conclusions, reconcile disagreements, and act. Don't re-derive what a subagent already established.
