Fable 5 Mode 2: Checkpoint Contracts
thisguyknowsai · x · 2026-07-03
Fable 5 can run continuously for days; without structure, it will execute endlessly without surfacing decisions that need your approval. For example, progress via checkpoints: after each one, summarize changes, uncertainties, and what you need to provide. If an architectural decision is pending, do not cross the checkpoint. This is the crucial difference between 'autonomous' and 'unsupervised'—you want the former.
