fableplan-work-on-issue
Chain fableplan → work-on-issue into one autonomous run: Fable 5.1 plans the implementation for a GitHub issue (plan posted to the issue), then work-on-issue implements that plan in an isolated worktree and opens a PR that closes the issue.
This is fableplan-loop with the review loop removed — the handoff is to work-on-issue (single-shot, ends at the open PR) rather than work-on-issue-loop (which triggers @claude and cycles through review). Like fableplan-loop, it has no validate-issue step and no score gate: with no validation to produce a score, fableplan always runs. Reach for this when you already trust the issue and just want a Fable-vetted plan built and shipped as a PR, without paying for validation or driving review to convergence.
Input
Same as fableplan-loop: a GitHub issue is required; with nothing supplied, default to the latest open issue in the current repo. If no issue can be resolved, stop and ask — do not plan or implement against a paraphrase.
Optional targetBranch (orchestration form { issue, targetBranch } or a prose "target branch "): passed unchanged to every validate, plan, and build step in the chain, so the baseline and the PR base are that branch instead of the repo default. work-on-issue step 1 ("Target") owns its validation.
Steps
Follow fableplan-loop steps 0 through 3 with these changes:
- Step 0 (pre-plan gate) applies unchanged.
- Step 1 (fableplan): instruct fableplan to use the harness suffix
fableplan-work-on-issuein the posted comment's attribution footer. - Step 2 (handoff): invoke the
work-on-issueskill instead ofwork-on-issue-loop(Skill tool,skill: work-on-issue). The explicit issue-number pass-through and the plan pointers (scratchpad file and posted issue comment) apply unchanged, and deviations followwork-on-issuestep 2's plan-deviation policy — each named in the PR body. work-on-issue runs its full process: it implements in a fresh worktree, verifies, commits, pushes, and opens a PR that closes the issue. It ends at the open PR — requesting review is out of scope for this skill. If the user wants the PR driven through review to convergence, that'sfableplan-loop(this chain plus the review loop),validate-fableplan-loop, or a separatefix-pr-review-looprun; say so rather than triggering review here. - Step 3 (report): relay work-on-issue's final summary (the worktree/branch, what was implemented, the verification result, the commit SHA, the PR URL, and that it closes the issue), prefixed with one line covering the head of the chain: plan posted (comment URL). If work-on-issue stopped at one of its own gates instead of opening a PR, report why it stopped — never imply a PR exists when it doesn't. Cap the whole report at 55 words, plain simple English in ASD-STE100 — apply the Response Style rules in CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md.
Red Flags — STOP
fableplan-loop's Red Flags table applies, reading "work-on-issue" for "work-on-issue-loop", with one change: its review row inverts.

Out of scope — this skill ends at the open PR; point the user at fableplan-loop or fix-pr-review-loop if they want review driven to convergence |
