Developer shares practical AI coding workflow: paper first, then Fable/Opus for planning, Sonnet for implementation

A developer on Reddit outlines a structured AI-assisted coding workflow for full projects, emphasizing upfront planning on paper before involving any model. The pipeline uses Fable for planning, Fable/Opus to break work into markdown files, and Sonnet for implementation under a safety hook, contrasting with the common 'vibe coding in agent mode' approach.

The developer describes a methodical approach: first, 20-40 minutes of brain-dumping on paper (zero tokens). Then Fable plans the architecture, followed by Fable/Opus breaking the plan into markdown files. Finally, Sonnet builds the code under a safety hook, with the developer supervising and keeping token usage low. The post criticizes the prevalent 'vibe coding in agent mode' as leading to late-night debugging, advocating instead for slower setup that leads to faster completion.

GitHub repo distills Claude Fable 5 workflow into reproducible method for any model

A GitHub repository by Sahir619 distills the Fable Workflow used by Claude Fable 5 into a reproducible method (think/act/prove) that any model can run, including an evaluation to ensure honesty. The workflow is released under MIT license with a Claude Code plugin, enabling developers to replicate the approach across different AI models.
