4 settings to stop Fable 5.2 from burning your weekly Claude credits

A practical four-step recipe to stop Fable 5.2 from wasting weekly credits in Claude Code:
- Set /effort per task — it defaults to medium, and high "burns fastest"
- For most tasks, run claude --model sonnet --advisor fable
- Add .claude/agents/explore.md with model: haiku, so Explore no longer reads on Opus under Fable
- Run /claude-api prompt-audit to clear stale old instructions
Following these removes the worry of tokens (and credits) being burned for nothing.
