**Fable 5 holds the baton. The orchestra plays.**

A Claude Code plugin that makes Fable 5 the orchestrator. Fable keeps the judgment, tiered subagents on Opus, Sonnet and Haiku do the labor. Install once and every new session in every repo starts this way.

## Why

- **Fable time is precious.** It is the strongest model on a Claude subscription and the most expensive one to burn on grep runs and boilerplate. fable-baton routes each piece of work to the cheapest tier that can do it well, so you can keep Fable 5 as your daily model.
- **No more switcheroo.** When Fable time runs dry, Opus quietly takes over your session. With fable-baton, Fable spends its tokens on judgment only, Opus does the heavy work below it as a subagent, and Fable stays the one holding the context.

The tiers are Opus, Sonnet and Haiku today. Later this should open up to other models and structures.
