A Two-Model Coding Workflow Splits Planning and Execution Between Fable and Sol
virattt · x · 2026-07-23
A developer describes a two-model workflow that keeps planning and execution separate.
- Fable acts as the “staff engineer”: it scopes work, writes notes, and plans projects.
- Sol acts as the “senior engineer”: once planning is done, it is pointed at the docs and asked to implement.
- Before execution starts, the author asks, “Do you have any questions?” to surface missing details upfront.
- The setup reportedly reduces runtime back-and-forth and helps stay under usage limits for both providers.
