If you are like me worried about API usage costs after July 7th, and can’t afford 50$ for a single prompt, this skill lets you use Fable at significantly reduced cost (I estimate 2-5x reduction). It limits the amount of tool calls and context re-sends to Fable. Basically it tries to do as much as possible using Sonnet/Haiku/Opus, and then just issue a single Fable prompt with zero tool calls and context re-sends. It’s hard to compare exactly much it saves, but most of my Fable prompts cost around 50-60$. Some really big ones cost 120$, some smaller ones around 10$. This is from my time using Fable without the skill. With the skill the range is 2$-40$ for similar sized prompts. Of course I’m completely ignoring the haiku/sonnet/opus cost in that calculation - my subscription covers that. https://github.com/BearishSun/context-compiler The reason I decided to build the skill was when I was looking through my ccusage after using Fable for a significantly heavy day: 10 prompts, 650$ total, ~465mil tokens. None of my prompts exceeded 400k prompt context, so those 460mil tokens are just accumulated from a ton of context re-sends to Fable. You might think, but we have cache for that - well 450mil of those tokens were indeed cached, but cache is $1 per million of tokens, which adds up to 450$. So I wanted to see what happens if we try to send the context just once (in reality, a few times for bigger tasks). submitted by /u/BearishSun
