New 'Fable-Mode' Skill File Makes AI Agents Verify Before Reporting
A developer created a behavioral overlay called 'fable-mode' that forces AI coding agents to verify claims before reporting them as done. The skill file implements a three-tier grading system (Confirmed, Plausible, Assumed) and bans unverified success declarations. It targets common failure modes like premature confirmation and unrequested scope expansion.

This isn't a new model but a clever prompt engineering trick that highlights how much agent behavior depends on discipline rather than capability.
