Fable Wise

Low-level cognitive reflexes and architectural patterns that counteract AI slop, complexity bloat, and artifact drift. Instead of adding speculative code and boilerplate, enforce patterns that simplify, cut, consolidate, and ground decisions in observable reality.

Purpose

Enforce senior architectural wisdom through cognitive reflexes across Depth, Breadth, Coil, and Mesh. Replace bloated abstractions with direct mechanisms, consolidate single sources of truth, rewrite heavily patched artifacts from clean v0, and stress-test plans with contrarian critiques.

When to Use

• Rewriting a drifted, heavily patched artifact into a clean v0 (/re0).
• Checking the model's interpretation of a subtle request before executing (/readchk).
• Carving unsafe scope out up front so the safe remainder runs at full strength (/autobahn).
• Auditing scattered facts and consolidating them into a single source of truth (/ssotize).
• Replacing incidental framework/stack nouns with fundamental language mechanisms (/detool).
• Pressing a newly made technical decision until it is simple or exposed as weak (/feynman).
• Stress-testing an engineering plan with the one contrarian objection that could kill it (/hate).
• Splitting an artifact across independent evaluation lenses to expose hidden conflicts (/prism).
• Tasting proposed changes with the repository's clean-and-true checks (/sip).
