fable-validate-fableplan

Chain fable-validate → (conditional) update issue → fableplan into one autonomous run, and stop there. The vetted plan is posted to the issue as a comment. Nothing is built.

This is fable-validate-fableplan-loop with the handoff to work-on-issue-loop dropped. When the plan should be built and driven through review in the same run, use fable-validate-fableplan-loop.

Do not skip or reorder the chain. Validation gates planning. There is no sanctioned skip: every step runs, and only the "wait for the user's reply" moments are replaced by the decision rules in the cited steps.

Input

Same as fable-validate-loop, including the optional targetBranch.

Steps

Follow fable-validate-loop steps 1 through 4 with the changes below, then run this skill's step 5 in place of fable-validate-loop's steps 5 and 6:

Step 1 (fable-validate): also keep the verdict block and the validation report in the scratchpad; step 4 passes them to the planner.

Step 2 (scope gate): fable-validate-loop step 2's STOP table applies unchanged. An incomplete validation is never approval to plan.

Step 3 (update-issue edits): apply them per fable-validate step 5 / validate-issue step 11; the stacked Validated with LLM: … attribution line uses the harness suffix fable-validate-fableplan.

Step 4 (fableplan): there is no score gate — fable-validate-loop's score gate, safety carve-out, and top-band note do not apply; fableplan runs for every issue that passed the scope gate, whatever the validated score. Hand the planner the verdict block and validation report from step 1; the plan must respect what validation established (verified/refuted claims, the Optimal-direction note when architecture was Underspecified, 5c concerns). Instruct fableplan to use the harness suffix fable-validate-fableplan in the posted comment's attribution footer. fableplan stops at the posted plan, and so does this skill.

5. Report

Report, in order: scope gate passed, issue updated or not, plan posted (comment URL), and one line on what the plan proposes. Then name the follow-on options in one line — work-on-issue to build the plan and stop at the PR, work-on-issue-loop to build it and drive review to convergence, or fable-validate-fableplan-loop for the same chain end-to-end next time. Do not start any of them.

Red Flags — STOP

fable-validate-loop's Red Flags rows for the scope gate, the step 2 human-decision rows (a) to (c), waiting on prompts, the bare issue number, the update-before-plan order, and a structurally wrong plan apply, with one substitution: in the structurally-wrong-plan row, read "post a broken plan" for "hand a broken plan to work-on-issue-loop".
