Fable 5.2 just dropped. I am speechless...
Use the strongest model for brainstorming and detailed planning, then hand its task list to a cheaper model for execution.
- Start with a rough project idea and use the model to clarify goals, scope, and key decisions.
- Answer its guided multiple-choice questions to shape the plan with less back-and-forth.
- Put detailed tasks and acceptance criteria in Notion or Linear, then use a cheaper model to build.
The workflow is useful, but the notes capture its main steps; the demo adds little detail. · Best for: AI-assisted developers who want to plan projects efficiently and reduce model costs.
The creator praises the model’s intelligence, concise responses, speed, and ability to guide users through decisions. The practical workflow is to use it for project planning and task breakdown, then switch to a cheaper model for implementation.
Why the model stands out0:00
- The creator says it combines high intelligence with shorter, simpler responses.
- He also claims it is faster, cheaper, and more token-efficient than earlier models.
- Its guided questions are presented as a way to reduce the mental effort of getting work done.
Set up Claude Code and begin planning3:45
- The demo uses the Claude Code desktop app and the high effort setting.
- Start with a broad project idea rather than a fully specified prompt.
- Use the model to explore the concept and identify what the project should focus on.
Use guided questions to refine scope6:24
- The model challenges the idea and points out that coordinating work may matter more than increasing the number of agents.
- It offers multiple-choice questions to choose an initial focus, interface, data storage, and intended user.
- The creator chooses work projects, a web app and phone, a database owned by the app, and a single user.
Create a task board, then switch models9:57
- Ask the planning model to create detailed project tasks in a Notion board; the creator also mentions Linear as an option.
- The board includes milestones, status, completion criteria, areas, acceptance criteria, and task size.
- Once the tasks are ready, switch to Opus 5.5 at medium effort to begin execution; the creator says Sonnet is another option.
Step by step
- Open Claude Code and start with a broad description of the project.
- Use the model’s questions and recommendations to settle the project’s scope and key choices.
- Ask it to produce a detailed task breakdown in Notion or Linear, including acceptance criteria.
- Switch to a cheaper model such as Opus or Sonnet and ask it to work through the tasks.
Tools & resources mentioned
- Claude Code desktop app — used for planning and handing work to a coding model.
- Notion — used to store the project task board; a Notion connector is used in the demo.
- Linear — offered as an alternative place to track tasks.
- Opus 5.5 and Sonnet — lower-cost model choices suggested for implementation.
