Problem Statement
Feature Request
opusplan uses Opus for planning and switches to Sonnet for execution.
Now that Claude Fable 5 is available, a fableplan alias following the same
pattern would be useful for users who want Fable-level reasoning during the
planning phase with Sonnet's cost efficiency during execution.

Proposed Solution
Expected behavior
/model fableplan → Fable 5 in plan mode, Sonnet in execution mode
Current behavior
No equivalent alias exists. Users must either:
- Use
opusplan(weaker planner) - Use
/model fablefor the full session (expensive)
Alternative Solutions
I have tried making plan then using sonnet for execution. Works well but is a tedious process
Priority
Medium - Would be very helpful
