New Skill Audits Projects for Legacy Instructions Written for Older Claude Models

daniel_mac8 · x · 2026-11-11

Developer danielmac8 released an installable skill, /fable-5-2-prompt-audit, based on Anthropic's official guide section on revisiting instructions written for earlier models. It scans projects and flags seven categories: standing subagent delegation, hardcoded token budgets, harness code that edits earlier turns (Fable 5.2 uses 'preserved thinking', so history should be append-only), 'treat that answer as done' lines, instructions to think less, rigid prose style limits, and stale cautious rules piled up in rules/notes/memory. It also verifies its checklist against the live guide and lists every place a project stores instructions (instruction files, .claude/, skills, memory).
