Load at the start of any task whose deliverable is prose another person will read — a PR description, commit message, README, doc, postmortem, blog post, issue or review comment, report, release note or essay — before drafting it, whether the result is pushed, posted, published or saved to a file, without being asked. Draft, then run this pass on the draft before handing it over. Also use when someone says "de-claude", "de-slop", "humanize this", "this reads like AI", "make it sound human", or asks for a voice, tone or register edit. Rewrites the constructions that mark prose as model-written (staged reveals, verdict headers, aphoristic closers, "it's not X, it's Y", em-dash drama, forced triads, flat-certainty adverbs) into plain technical prose and checks the rewrite kept every claim. Not for fiction, poetry, code, or quoted text; for a full adversarial review of a deliverable use challenging.

Fable 5.1

Editing a draft Fable wrote

Expect a light pass, mostly headers and typography.

Remove bold from list-item leads and from the takeaway line at the end of a list; Fable puts its maxims there (entries 29, 30, 12).
Rewrite an "X, not Y" closer as a plain statement (entries 2 and 12).
Search for "the one that stung" and "the part that stung" and cut the designation (entry 3). The linter catches "the part that" but not "the one that".

Running the pass as Fable
