Problem Statement

Opusplan is really convenient to be able to use Opus for the complex planning work and Sonnet for the grunt work of implementation. Currently, there is no analogous alias for Fable.

Proposed Solution

Create a similar alias for Fable, to use Fable for the planning work and Sonnet for the implementation. It could be called fableplan to be similar to opusplan.

So I should be able to set fableplan in /model and have Claude Code use Fable for planning and Sonnet for implementation.

Alternative Solutions

I can override ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL to use Fable, so then the existing opusplan alias will use Fable instead of Opus for planning.

But this override means Opus will be replaced everywhere, even if I am using it for other things.

I can switch between the models manually but this is annoying and requires human intervention.

Priority

Medium - Would be very helpful

For anyone on Bedrock who needs this today, there's a workable stopgap: set ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL to your Fable 5 inference profile ARN. Since opusplan uses ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL for plan mode, this effectively makes opusplan behave as fableplan:

export ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL="arn:aws:bedrock:<region>:<account>:application-inference-profile/<fable-5-profile-id>"
export ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL="arn:aws:bedrock:<region>:<account>:application-inference-profile/<sonnet-profile-id>"

The downside noted in this thread applies: it replaces Opus everywhere, not just in plan mode. A native fableplan alias would avoid that bleed.
