Four settings to stop Fable 5.2 from burning through your weekly credits

The author shares four concrete settings to keep Fable 5.2 from eating your weekly credits:
- Set /effort per task — it starts at medium; high "burns fastest."
- Add .claude/agents/explore.md with model: haiku — on Fable, Explore reads on Opus by default.
- For routine work, run claude --model sonnet --advisor fable so sonnet does the labor while fable advises.
- Run /claude-api prompt-audit to clear old "think less" lines that waste tokens.
Follow these and you won't have to worry about wasting tokens anymore.
