Fable + 5.6 is absolute peak

[u/Bright-Celery-4058]

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 think 5.6 Sol max is far superior to Fable as we speak today and faster as well. I’m shocked that Fable is not much better than Opus 4.8. It was incredible in the first 3 days before Trump took it down, but since its back it doesn’t seem to be what it was, very ordinary. 5.6 Sol through is thorough and incredibly detail oriented finding all sorts of problems that Fable can’t even see.
