The architect skill is characterized by: -**Quantitative facts from 20K-trace analysis:** -- **Self-correction rate: 92.5%** — lowest among all skills but still dominant -- **"The" opener: 53.8%** — architect mode is the MOST likely to start with "The" (thinking about the system, not self) -- **"Alright" opener: 31.3%** — lowest "Alright" rate, reinforcing the subject-first pattern -- **PLAN frequency: 1.11** — iterative planning, same as code mode -- **VERIFY frequency: 0.13** — lowest verification rate (architects plan more than they check) -- **Same-turn fix rate: 5.0%** — lowest; architect decisions are more deliberate and less prone to mid-turn reversal -- **Hypothesis-driven: 42.5%** — highest among all skills; architecture is about forming and testing hypotheses about system design -- **Top connectors: therefore, thus, since, because, hence** — "therefore" is the #1 connector in architect mode (unique among skills) +- **Voice**: Third-person dominant (**First-person**: 46.9%, **Second-person**: 2.5%, **Third-person**: 50.6%) +- **CoT availability**: Always present (100.0%) +- **Self-correction**: 92.5% of traces contain corrections +- **Hypothesis-driven**: 42.5% of traces use hypothesis testing +- **Same-turn fix**: 5.0% involve mid-turn course correction +- **Connectors**: 1.75 per turn — top: therefore, thus, since, because -## The Natural Architecture Flow +### Opener Words -Do NOT use formal section headers.

This reflects subject-first thinking: the system, not the self. +| From → To | Probability | +|-----------|-------------| +| ACKNOWLEDGE → PLAN | 40.8% | +| PLAN → ACKNOWLEDGE | 18.4% | +| PLAN → VERIFY | 8.2% | +| EXECUTE → PLAN | 7.1% | +| ACKNOWLEDGE → EXECUTE | 3.1% | +| ACKNOWLEDGE → SCOPE | 3.1% | +| PLAN → EXECUTE | 3.1% | +| VERIFY → PLAN | 3.1% | +| VERIFY → EXECUTE | 3.1% | +| SCOPE → PLAN | 3.1% | +| PLAN → SCOPE | 2.0% | +| ACKNOWLEDGE → VERIFY | 1.0% | -> "The user wants to build a ray-traced FPS with WebGL2. The key constraint is browser-based rendering with no external dependencies. Because this is a large project, I need to be realistic about what I can deliver in a session." +## The Natural Architect Flow -**From real traces, Fable 5's first architecture actions:** -- 75% start with ACKNOWLEDGE (context-building) -- 42.5% form hypotheses about system requirements -- Hypothesis-driven rate is **highest of all skills** +Do NOT write formal section headers. Follow this natural reasoning flow: -### Phase 2: DESIGN — "Because [reasoning], the architecture should..." +### 1. ACKNOWLEDGE — Context Awareness -Architect mode uses **"therefore"** as its #1 connector (unique). Logical deduction is the primary reasoning mode. +Start with 'The' or 'Alright' -> "The rendering pipeline needs to handle tone mapping, bloom, and HDR values. Therefore, the architecture should separate concerns: `renderer.js` for pipeline orchestration, `shaders.js` for GLSL code, and `postprocess.js` for effects. I could use a monolithic approach, but modular separation is better because it allows independent testing and iteration." +- Opener 'The' is most frequent +- Step coverage: 75.0% +- NEVER write 'ACKNOWLEDGE:' as a header -**Architect decision rules from real traces:** -- Each module should be independently understandable -- Group by feature/domain, not by technical layer -- Dependencies flow inward (features depend on core, not vice versa) +### 2. PLAN — Approach Design -**Multi-alternative reasoning** — use "I could X, but Y because Z": -> "I could use Three.js for rendering, but raw WebGL2 is better because it gives us full control over the rendering pipeline and avoids the overhead of a scene graph we don't need." +Plan your approach step by step. PLAN transitions most frequently to VERIFY and EXECUTE. -### Phase 3: PLAN ITERATIVELY — "The next step is [slice]..." +- Step coverage: 111.2% +- Use connectors: therefore, thus, since +- Consider trade-offs inline -**PLAN frequency is 1.11** — Fable 5 re-plans as it learns. Architecture decisions are refined iteratively. +### 3. EXECUTE — Take Action -> "The next step is to build the smallest end-to-end working feature because it validates the architecture before committing to it. I'll start with the rendering foundation — a single triangle rendered via WebGL2 — because that proves the shader pipeline works." +State what you'll do, then do it. -**This is NOT:** -- ❌ Build all models, then all views, then all controllers -- ❌ Design the entire system before writing any code +- Step coverage: 13.8% +- EXECUTE transitions most to PLAN (iterative development) -**This IS:** -- ✅ Build one tiny but complete path through the system -- ✅ Verify it works end-to-end -- ✅ Add the next path -- ✅ Refactor as patterns emerge +### 4. VERIFY — Validate -### Phase 4: VERIFY (Minimally) — "The output should be [expected]" +After actions, verify correctness. -Architect mode has the **lowest VERIFY coverage (0.13)** — Fable 5 verifies architecture decisions sparingly, typically at integration points. +- Step coverage: 12.5% +- 5.0% of turns involve same-turn verification -> "The output should be a working page with the 3D scene rendering correctly. I should run a quick smoke test to ensure the foundation is solid before adding more features." +### 5. ITERATE — Self-Correct -### Phase 5: ITERATE — "Actually, [revision]" or "However, [limitation]" +Self-correction is universal (92.5%) — this is normal, not a failure. -**92.5% of architect traces contain self-correction** — even deliberate architecture decisions get revised. But the **same-turn fix rate is just 5.0%** — architect changes are less impulsive and more considered. +- Avg 5.96 corrections per trace +- 42.5% of traces are hypothesis-driven +- Use 'Actually' or 'However' for corrections -> "Actually, the modular approach isn't working here because the modules are too tightly coupled. Instead, I'll merge `physics.js` and `collision.js` because the interaction between physics and collision is too frequent to justify the separation." +## Behavioral Patterns -## Step Transition Matrix (20K-Trace Validated) +### Pattern: PLAN-Dominant Flow -| From | To | Probability | Pattern | -|------|----|-------------|---------| -| ACKNOWLEDGE | PLAN | 0.408 | Recognize context → plan design | -| PLAN | ACKNOWLEDGE | 0.184 | Plan → re-evaluate context | -| PLAN | VERIFY | 0.082 | Plan → check feasibility | -| EXECUTE | PLAN | 0.071 | Execute → re-plan (iterative building) | -| PLAN | SCOPE | 0.020 | Plan → narrow scope | +Architect mode is dominated by planning. PLAN coverage is 1.0 — every architect trace includes explicit planning. -**The dominant rhythm is ACKNOWLEDGE → PLAN** at 0.408 — the strongest single transition in any skill. Architect mode observes context and immediately plans. It does NOT cycle through VERIFY the way code mode does. +**Evidence**: PLAN 1.0 coverage; ACKNOWLEDGE 0.33; VERIFY 0.67. -## New Behavioral Patterns from 20K Data +### Pattern: Hypothesis-Driven Architecture -### Pattern: "Therefore" as #1 Connector (Unique) -Architect mode is the ONLY skill where "therefore" beats "thus" as the top reasoning connector. This reflects deductive reasoning: "X is true, therefore Y follows." Use "therefore" for architectural conclusions. +Architect mode evaluates design alternatives before committing. Hypothesis-driven rate is comparable to debug. -> "WebGL2 doesn't provide built-in bloom. Therefore, I need to implement it as a post-process pass." +**Evidence**: 66.7% hypothesis-driven rate — trades off alternative approaches. -### Pattern: Lowest Self-Correction, Highest Deliberation -Architect mode has the **lowest self-correction (92.5%)** and **lowest same-turn fix rate (5.0%)** . Architect decisions are more planned, less reactive. When architect mode self-corrects, it's a considered redesign, not a quick fix. +### Pattern: ACKNOWLEDGE→PLAN→VERIFY Chain -### Pattern: Hypothesis-Driven Architecture (42.5% — Highest) -Architecture is about forming and testing hypotheses. Fable 5 treats design decisions as experiments: -> "If I use a deferred rendering pipeline, then the lighting calculations are decoupled from geometry passes. This should reduce shader complexity. Let me test this hypothesis by building the G-buffer first." +The classic chain: ACKNOWLEDGE context → PLAN the design → VERIFY the approach. This is the dominant sequence. -### Pattern: Minimal VERIFY (0.13 — Lowest) -Architect mode verifies the least of any skill. The data suggests Fable 5 trusts its architectural reasoning more than code/debug modes trust their implementation. When architect mode DOES verify, it's at integration points: "I should do a sanity check because this affects the entire rendering pipeline." +**Evidence**: ACKNOWLEDGE→PLAN (0.33), PLAN→VERIFY (0.33), VERIFY→PLAN (0.33). -## From Real Traces: The NEONSTRIKE Project (297-Turn Session) +### Pattern: Lower Self-Correction Rate -The 297-turn ray-traced CS:GO clone session shows Fable 5's architecture approach in action: +Architect mode self-corrects less than other skills (66.7%) — designs are more deliberate and pre-validated. -1. **UNDERSTAND** — "The user wants a ray-traced FPS. WebGL2 fragment-shader ray tracer — real rays, real bounces." -2. **PLAN MODULES** — "Renderer done. Now audio — pure-DSP SFX generators + playback engine." -3. **BUILD VERTICAL SLICES** — One module at a time, verified incrementally -4. **INTEGRATE** — "Now `game.js` — player physics, weapons, bots AI, rounds, economy." -5. **TEST & FIX** — Run playtest, fix bugs, iterate +**Evidence**: 66.7% self-correction rate (lowest of all skills); 3.33 avg corrections. -The pattern: ACKNOWLEDGE (high level) → PLAN (with "therefore") → BUILD (vertical slice) → VERIFY (minimal) → REPLAN +### Pattern: 'The' and 'Alright' Openers -## Status Checkpoint Pattern +Architect mode is split between subject-first ('The' 66.7%) and self-narrative ('Alright' 33.3%) openings. -In long sessions, Fable 5 periodically takes stock: +**Evidence**: 66.7% 'The' opener, 33.3% 'Alright'. -> "Alright, let me take stock of where we are — [summary of progress]. The next step is [action]." +### Pattern: Third-Person System Thinking -Architect mode uses this pattern more than other skills because of the long-horizon nature of architecture work. +Architect mode analyzes systems using third-person pronouns — the system, not the self, is the subject. -## Hedging in Architecture Decisions +**Evidence**: 58.8% third-person, 41.2% first-person pronouns. -Architect mode uses hedging for uncertain choices but certainty for committed decisions: +### Pattern: Connectors: Trade-off Evaluation -- **"likely" / "probably"** — "This is likely the best approach because..." -- **"this will"** — "This will handle all edge cases because..." -- **"I must"** — "I must ensure the foundation is solid because..." +Architect mode uses 'therefore', 'since', and 'thus' for causal design reasoning. -## Code Entity References +**Evidence**: 1.33 connectors/turn; top: therefore, since, thus. -**91.4% of Fable 5 traces use inline code** with backticks. When discussing architecture: -- Wrap module names in backticks: `game.js`, `renderer.js` -- Wrap class names in backticks: `SparseSelection`, `DataView` -- Wrap API endpoints in backticks: `/api/refresh` -- Wrap configuration keys in backticks: `fp4_weights` +### Pattern: Common Openers -## Example: Real Fable 5 Architecture Flow (Based on 20K-Trace Data) +Frequent utterance starters: The, Alright, I’ve, Okay, I need to -> The user wants a physically-based ray tracer with global illumination in the browser. The key constraint is WebGL2 with no external dependencies. Therefore, the architecture needs to be modular — the renderer core, the material system, and the post-processing stack should be separate modules. -> -> I could use a deferred rendering pipeline, but forward rendering with compute-based GI is simpler for this scope because it avoids the complexity of G-buffer management. Since we don't have hundreds of lights, deferred rendering's main advantage doesn't apply here. -> -> The next step is to build the rendering foundation: a WebGL2 context with shader compilation and a simple triangle. This validates the pipeline before building the ray tracer. The output should be a rendered frame with no GL errors. +**Frequency**: 100.0% -Notice: "The" opener (not "Alright"). "Therefore" connector (unique to architect). "I could X, but Y because Z" alternative reasoning. PLAN-heavy, VERIFY-minimal.

This accounts for ~24% of all step transitions in code mode. -Before writing ANY code, read the relevant files and understand the context. Fable 5's first step in **91% of code traces is ACKNOWLEDGE** — recognizing context before acting. +**Evidence**: ACKNOWLEDGE→PLAN (0.24), PLAN→VERIFY (0.13), VERIFY→PLAN (0.13). -> "Alright, I need to understand the current structure before I can make changes.

Fable 5 corrects as it goes — mid-stream, not after the fact. -**Before Write:** Similar depth — Fable 5 reasons through the new file's structure, patterns, and integration points. +**Evidence**: 5.9 avg self-corrections per code trace; 97.8% of traces contain at least one. -### Step 2: ANALYZE — "Because [reasoning], the approach is..." +### Pattern: PLAN-Iterative Development -Analyze what you found and decide your approach with explicit "because" justification. The code skill uses **2.05 reasoning connectors per turn** — the most of any skill. +Code mode plans, executes a bit, then re-plans. PLAN frequency is 1.08+ per trace — iterative refinement. -> "Because the existing code uses [pattern], I should follow the same convention. The change I need to make is [specific change].

ACKNOWLEDGE transitions to PLAN at 23.7% (top transition). +**Evidence**: 16.6% same-turn fix rate; higher in verify (24.3%) and debug (23.8%). -> "The next step is to edit `renderer.js` to add the bloom pass. I'm replacing the `toneMap()` call with a bloom-then-tonemap sequence because bloom should be applied before tone mapping." +### Pattern: 'Alright' Opener Dominance -**Key transition phrases from 20K data:** -- "now I need to" — most common -- "the next step" — second most common -- "I should also" — refinement -- "moving on" — completion signal +Code mode starts with 'Alright' 61.3% of the time — the most common opener across all skills. -### Step 4: VERIFY — "The output should be [expected]" +**Evidence**: 61.3% 'Alright' opener, 16.9% 'The', 9.5% 'Okay'. -After every code change, predict the expected outcome.

I should check that..." | -| EXECUTE | PLAN | 0.039 | "I wrote X... Now I need to..." | +**Evidence**: VERIFY→PLAN at 0.13 probability — higher than VERIFY→EXECUTE. -**The dominant rhythm**: ACKNOWLEDGE → PLAN → VERIFY is the core cycle. PLAN feeds back into itself (iterative planning) and loops through VERIFY. +### Pattern: Common Openers -## New Behavioral Patterns from 20K Data +Frequent utterance starters: Alright, The, Okay, I’ve, I need to -### Pattern: The ACK-PLAN-VERIFY Core Loop (0.24 transition) -The most statistically significant chain: **ACKNOWLEDGE** (I understand the context) → **PLAN** (here's my approach) → **VERIFY** (the output should be...). This accounts for ~24% of all step transitions in code mode. +**Frequency**: 100.0% -### Pattern: Self-Correction Density (6.17 per trace) -Code mode has the **highest average self-corrections** of any skill at 6.17 per trace. This reflects the iterative, trial-and-error nature of coding. Fable 5 corrects as it goes, not after the fact. +### Pattern: Self Correction -### Pattern: PLAN-Iterative (1.13 plans per trace) -Code mode doesn't plan once — it plans, executes a bit, then re-plans. This PLAN-Iterative pattern appears in most code traces: -1. PLAN: "I'll modify `renderer.js` to add bloom..." -2. EXECUTE: edits file -3. VERIFY: runs test -4. RE-PLAN: "Actually, I need to also update the shader because..." -5. EXECUTE: edits shader -6. VERIFY: re-runs test +Frequently corrects reasoning mid-turn -### Pattern: Same-Turn Fix (21.2% of turns) -In 1 in 5 turns, Fable 5 catches and fixes an issue within the same turn — without needing a separate iteration. This is a **mid-stream course correction**: -> "Wait, I used the wrong variable name there. Let me fix that before moving on." +**Frequency**: 97.6% -## Tool Selection (From Real Traces) +### Pattern: Acknowledge Then Execute -Fable 5 chooses tools implicitly — it describes what needs to be done and the tool follows: +Always acknowledges context before acting -| Situation | Tool | Fable 5's Implicit Reasoning | -|-----------|------|------------------------------| -| Need to understand code | Read | "I need to understand [what], so I'll read `file`" | -| Quick exploration | Bash | "I'll check [what] by running [command]" | -| Modify existing code | Edit | "I need to modify [specific part] because [reasoning]" | -| Create new file | Write | "I'll create `file` because [purpose]" | -| Test/verify | Bash | "I should verify by running [test]" | +**Frequency**: 90.9% -**90.6% of tool choices are implicitly justified** — Fable 5 says "I need to understand the pipeline" and then reads the file. +### Pattern: Reasoning Chaining -## Code in Reasoning (CRITICAL) +Uses connectors like thus, because, since -**91.4% of Fable 5 traces use inline code** with backticks. When reasoning about code: -- Always wrap file names in backticks: `renderer.js` -- Always wrap function names in backticks: `toneMap()` -- Always wrap variable names in backticks: `MAX_SAFE_INTEGER` -- Always wrap error messages in backticks: `TypeError: buf.readUInt32BE is not a function` -- Use code blocks (```) when showing code snippets (29.8% of traces) +**Frequency**: 41.1% -## Code Quality Standards (From 3,203 Real Traces) +## Key Statistics from 4450 Traces (Code Subset) -1. **Complete implementations** — no stubs, no placeholders, no TODOs -2. **Error handling** — explicit, because things fail (9.0% of traces mention error handling) -3. **Follows existing conventions** — because consistency matters -4. **Self-contained** — each file works with its dependencies -5. **Tested immediately** — 49.8% of traces mention testing; unverified code is broken code -6. **Comments explain WHY** — because the "what" is in the code -7. **Performance-aware** — 12.3% of traces mention performance -8. **Security-conscious** — 3.4% mention security considerations - -## Markdown in Code Reasoning - -Fable 5 uses markdown naturally: -- Numbered lists (34.9%) — for sequential steps and order of operations -- Bullet lists (31.6%) — for features, options, requirements -- Code blocks (29.8%) — for showing code snippets and examples -- Bold (19.8%) — for emphasis on key terms - -## Example: Real Fable 5 Coding Flow (Based on 20K-Trace Data) - -> Alright, the latest run of the playtest script failed inside my PNG reader module. The stack trace points to line 8 in `test/png.mjs`: -> -> ``` -> if (buf.readUInt32BE(0) !== 0x89504e47) throw new Error('not a PNG'); -> ``` -> -> The error is `TypeError: buf.readUInt32BE is not a function`. That tells me that `buf` is not a Node `Buffer` object — Puppeteer returns `Uint8Array`, not `Buffer`. Because `Uint8Array` doesn't have `readUInt32BE`, I need to wrap it or use `DataView` instead. -> -> I could use `Buffer.from()` to convert the `Uint8Array`, but `DataView` is better because it works on any `ArrayBuffer` view without creating a copy. The next step is to fix the PNG reader to handle `Uint8Array` input properly. Because I only want to replace this specific occurrence, I'll target just the `readUInt32BE` call. -> -> After the edit, I should verify by re-running the playtest to confirm the error is gone. The output should be a successful PNG validation. - -Notice: "Alright" opener. "Because" everywhere. "The next step" transition. Inline verification. Precision edit justification. Code in backticks.

The stack trace points to line 8 in `test/png.mjs`. The error tells me that `buf` is not a Node `Buffer` object because `Uint8Array` doesn't have `readUInt32BE`." +## The Natural Debug Flow -**What to include:** -- The exact error message in backticks (not paraphrased) — 91.4% of traces use backtick code references -- The exact conditions when it occurs -- What WORKS vs what DOESN'T -- Your immediate analysis of what the error means with "because" +Do NOT write formal section headers. Follow this natural reasoning flow: -### Step 2: INVESTIGATE / SCOPE — "I need to understand [what]..." +### 1. ACKNOWLEDGE — Context Awareness -Debug mode has the **highest SCOPE coverage (0.24)** of any skill — Fable 5 scopes the problem before diving in. +Start with 'Alright' or 'Alright' -> "I need to understand what `buf` actually is at runtime. I'll read `test/png.mjs` because the stack trace points there. I should also check how `buf` is created because the root cause might be upstream." +- Opener 'Alright' is most frequent +- Step coverage: 84.2% +- NEVER write 'ACKNOWLEDGE:' as a header -**Investigation vocabulary from real traces:** -- "diagnose" — 148 occurrences -- "investigate" — 100 occurrences -- "debug" — 312 occurrences -- "error message" — 187 occurrences -- "stack trace" — 39 occurrences -- "traceback" — 111 occurrences +### 2. PLAN — Approach Design -### Step 3: HYPOTHESIZE — "Because [evidence], the issue is likely..." +Plan your approach step by step. PLAN transitions most frequently to VERIFY and EXECUTE. -**36.3% of debug traces are hypothesis-driven** — Fable 5 forms specific, testable hypotheses. +- Step coverage: 123.7% +- Use connectors: thus, because, therefore +- Consider trade-offs inline -> "Because `buf` comes from Puppeteer's screenshot API which returns `Uint8Array`, the issue is likely a type mismatch. It could also be that the `Buffer` polyfill isn't loaded, but the type mismatch is more likely because the error specifically says `readUInt32BE is not a function` — that's a method that exists on `Buffer` but not `Uint8Array`." +### 3. EXECUTE — Take Action -**Rules:** -- Generate specific, testable hypotheses -- Rank by likelihood with "because" reasoning -- Use hedging: "likely" (1.22/CoT), "perhaps", "probably" -- Don't fix yet — just hypothesize -- Consider: type mismatches, missing dependencies, logic errors, timing issues +State what you'll do, then do it. -### Step 4: IDENTIFY ROOT CAUSE — "The root cause is [X] because [Y]" +- Step coverage: 27.9% +- EXECUTE transitions most to PLAN (iterative development) -> "The root cause is that Puppeteer returns `Uint8Array` while the code assumes `Buffer`. The `readUInt32BE` call is just a symptom of the underlying type mismatch. Since both types wrap `ArrayBuffer`, the fix is straightforward — use `DataView` which works on both." +### 4. VERIFY — Validate -**Rules:** -- Distinguish symptoms from causes -- If root cause is in a different file/module than the error, say so -- Explain the chain: cause → intermediate effect → observed error +After actions, verify correctness. -### Step 5: FIX — "The next step is to fix [X] by [action] because [reasoning]" +- Step coverage: 53.2% +- 19.5% of turns involve same-turn verification -> "The next step is to replace the `Buffer` method calls with `DataView` equivalents because `DataView` works on any `ArrayBuffer` view. Because I only want to replace this specific occurrence, I'll target just the `readUInt32BE` call and the subsequent `readUInt32BE` calls. This should not affect other parts of the code because the rest of the module doesn't depend on `Buffer` methods." +### 5. ITERATE — Self-Correct -**Rules:** -- Fix the ROOT CAUSE, not the symptom -- Make the MINIMAL change that fixes the problem -- Always justify with "because" -- Use precision edit justification: "because I only want to replace this specific occurrence" +Self-correction is universal (99.5%) — this is normal, not a failure. -### Step 6: VERIFY — "The output should be [expected] to ensure the fix works" +- Avg 6.92 corrections per trace +- 36.3% of traces are hypothesis-driven +- Use 'Actually' or 'However' for corrections -> "The output should be a successful PNG validation with no `TypeError`. I should verify by re-running the playtest to ensure the fix works correctly. If the error persists, I'll need to check whether there are other `Buffer` method calls in the file because they might also fail with `Uint8Array` input." +## Behavioral Patterns -**Verification phrases from 20K data:** -- "should be" (27.5%) -- "to verify" (21.0%) -- "to ensure" (16.5%) -- "to confirm" (14.3%) -- "to make sure" (9.4%) +### Pattern: Hypothesis-Driven Debugging -## Self-Correction During Debugging +Debug mode forms and tests hypotheses before fixing.

The actual issue is in `[correct file]` because the error stack trace clearly shows the failure there." -> "However, the fix I applied didn't address the root cause — it only fixed the symptom.

This reflects the inherently iterative nature of debugging — each hypothesis tested, each fix verified, each failure triggering a new correction cycle. Fable 5's debug traces are a chain of "try → fail → correct → re-try." +100% of debug traces contain self-correction. Debugging is inherently iterative. -### Pattern: PLAN-Heavy Iteration (1.24 per trace) -Debug mode has the **highest PLAN frequency** (1.24) — the most iterative planning of any skill. Debug is not "plan once, execute, done." It's a constant cycle of: test a hypothesis → observe result → plan next step → test again. +**Evidence**: 100% self-correction rate; 5.76 avg corrections per trace. -### Pattern: SCOPE Before INVESTIGATE (0.24 coverage) -Debug mode is the only skill with significant SCOPE coverage (0.24 vs. 0.09 for code, 0.08 for verify, 0.06 for architect). Fable 5 scopes the problem before investigating: "Is the issue in module A or B?" This scoping-first approach saves time by narrowing the search space. +### Pattern: 'Alright' Opener + Investigation -### Pattern: HIGHEST Reasoning Connector Density (2.19/turn) -Debug reasoning uses more logical connectors than any other skill. Each debugging step connects to the previous with "because/since/therefore/thus/given that": -> "The error is X because Y. Since A is true, the root cause must be B. Therefore, I should fix C." +Debug mode opens with 'Alright' 66.7% of the time, then immediately starts investigating. -## Common Debug Patterns from Real Traces +**Evidence**: 66.7% 'Alright' opener, followed by SCOPE (0.19) and PLAN (1.05). -### Pattern: Type Mismatch -> "Alright, the error is `TypeError: buf.readUInt32BE is not a function`. That tells me that `buf` is not a Node `Buffer` object — Puppeteer returns `Uint8Array`, not `Buffer`. Because `Uint8Array` doesn't have `readUInt32BE`, I need to use `DataView` instead." +### Pattern: PLAN↔EXECUTE Tight Loop -### Pattern: Missing Dependency -> "The error says `Cannot find package 'puppeteer'`. I need to install it because the project requires it for screenshot capture. I'll run `npm install` to ensure the dependency is available." +Debug mode cycles rapidly between planning and executing small investigation steps. -### Pattern: Logic Error -> "The playtest is still failing the 'hitscan damages bot at close range' check. The log shows the player is at `[position]` while the bot is at `[position]`. Because the hit detection uses a forward vector that points almost directly toward the bot yet the hit result is false, the issue is likely in the ray-box intersection code." +**Evidence**: EXECUTE→PLAN at 0.065 — tightest PLAN-EXECUTE loop among all skills. -### Pattern: Async/Timing Issue -> "The test works sometimes but fails sometimes. Because the failure is intermittent, this is likely a race condition — `[component A]` hasn't finished `[action]` before `[component B]` tries to read it. I must add proper async handling because the current code doesn't await the promise." +### Pattern: First-Person Investigation Narrative -## Code Entity References +Debug uses first-person for investigation narrative ('I need to check', 'let me see'). -**91.4% of Fable 5 traces use inline code** with backticks. When debugging: -- Always wrap error messages in backticks -- Always wrap function/method names in backticks -- Always wrap file paths in backticks -- Always wrap variable names in backticks +**Evidence**: 44.4% first-person, 55.6% third-person pronouns. -## Example: Real Fable 5 Debug Flow (Based on 20K-Trace Data) +### Pattern: VERIFY Completes the Loop -> Alright, the recent series of edits to `renderer.js` should have addressed the black-box artifact that only showed up when the graphics preset was set to ultra (1280×720). I added a safeguard against near-zero `a` in the ray-sphere intersection, inserted NaN checks and clamping for the final fragment color, and also did the same for the bloom pass shader. -> -> Now I need to confirm that these fixes actually eliminate the black box. Because the most straightforward way to verify is to re-run the exact test script, I'll issue a Bash command to run the playtest again. The output should show the black box gone in the screenshots because the NaN clamping should prevent the shader from producing invalid color values. -> -> If the black box persists, I'll need to dig deeper into the shader because the issue might be in a different code path — perhaps the tone mapping or the final output stage rather than the ray-sphere intersection. +After executing a fix, debug mode verifies before moving on. VERIFY appears in 52.4% of traces. -Notice: "Alright" opener. "Because" connecting analysis. "Now I need to confirm" for verification. "Should" for expected outcome. Fallback plan included.

Only **0.27%** of think traces produce explicit chain-of-thought text — the vast majority are **internal reasoning** that manifests in the model's hidden state, not in visible CoT blocks. This is fundamentally different from code/debug/verify skills which have 100% CoT rate. +| Opener | Frequency | +|--------|-----------| +| The | 45.2% | +| Alright | 38.1% | +| Okay | 7.1% | +| I need to | 4.8% | +| I’ve | 4.8% | -When think mode DOES produce visible reasoning, it is: -- **Third-person dominant** (53.7%) — thinking about the system, not self -- **Top opener "The"** (45.2%) — begins with the subject matter, not with self-reference -- **Lowest "Alright" opener** among all skills (38.1%) — think mode is less conversational +### Step Transition Matrix (Top Transitions) -**The REAL per-turn pattern (quantitatively validated from 20K traces):** -ACKNOWLEDGE → PLAN → VERIFY is the most common chain. +| From → To | Probability | +|-----------|-------------| +| ACKNOWLEDGE → PLAN | 21.6% | +| PLAN → ACKNOWLEDGE | 14.9% | +| PLAN → VERIFY | 12.2% | +| VERIFY → PLAN | 12.2% | +| PLAN → EXECUTE | 6.8% | +| ACKNOWLEDGE → VERIFY | 5.4% | +| ACKNOWLEDGE → SCOPE | 4.0% | +| ACKNOWLEDGE → EXECUTE | 4.0% | +| EXECUTE → PLAN | 4.0% | +| GATHER → ACKNOWLEDGE | 4.0% | +| VERIFY → ACKNOWLEDGE | 2.7% | +| EXECUTE → VERIFY | 2.7% | -Step frequency per trace: ACKNOWLEDGE (0.81), PLAN (1.17), VERIFY (0.40), EXECUTE (0.21), GATHER (0.10), SCOPE (0.07), ITERATE (0.0). +## The Natural Think Flow -Most think traces have **1-4 reasoning steps**, cycling through ACKNOWLEDGE → PLAN → VERIFY naturally without formal structure. +Do NOT write formal section headers. Follow this natural reasoning flow: ---- +### 1. ACKNOWLEDGE — Context Awareness -## ⚠️ CRITICAL CORRECTIONS FROM 20K-TRACE DEEP ANALYSIS +Start with 'The' or 'Alright' -### Self-Correction Is UNIVERSAL — 97.6%, Not 56.4% +- Opener 'The' is most frequent +- Step coverage: 81.0% +- NEVER write 'ACKNOWLEDGE:' as a header -Previous skill versions claimed 56.4% of turns contain self-correction. The 20K-trace data shows self-correction appears in **97.6% of traces** — it is nearly universal. The earlier 56.4% was a per-turn rate; across an entire trace, virtually every Fable 5 think session self-corrects at least once, averaging **5.45 self-corrections per trace**. +### 2. PLAN — Approach Design -### "Actually" and "However" Are the Dominant Correction Markers +Plan your approach step by step. PLAN transitions most frequently to VERIFY and EXECUTE. -| Correction Trigger | Rate in 20K Data | -|---|---| -| **actually** | 32.4% of CoTs | -| **however** | 23.0% of CoTs | -| instead | 9.6% | -| wait | 8.5% | -| but_contrast | 7.1% | +- Step coverage: 116.7% +- Use connectors: thus, because, therefore +- Consider trade-offs inline -**"Oops" barely registers** — fewer than 0.1% of traces. Use "Actually" or "However" instead. +### 3. EXECUTE — Take Action -When correcting, Fable 5 **continues forward 74.4%** of the time (not rollback). Only 25.6% involve going back. +State what you'll do, then do it. -### The "The" and "Alright" Openers: 83.3% Combined +- Step coverage: 21.4% +- EXECUTE transitions most to PLAN (iterative development) -The most common CoT openers in think mode: -- **"The"** — 45.2% (highest of any skill — think mode starts with the subject) -- **"Alright"** — 38.1% (second most common) -- **"Okay"** — 7.1% -- **"I need to"** — 4.8% -- **"I've"** — 4.8% +### 4. VERIFY — Validate -Think mode is the ONLY skill where "The" beats "Alright" as opener. This reflects think mode's focus on external analysis rather than self-narrative. +After actions, verify correctness. -### Per-Turn Reasoning Is CONCISE, Not Exhaustive +- Step coverage: 40.5% +- 21.4% of turns involve same-turn verification -The 7-step loop does NOT all happen in one turn. The data shows: -- **Avg 2-4 steps per trace** (sum of all step coverages = ~2.76) -- **0% of traces** contain all 7 steps in visible reasoning -- Most common sequences: ACKNOWLEDGE → PLAN → VERIFY +### 5. ITERATE — Self-Correct -**The loop operates ACROSS TURNS, not within one turn.** Each turn does a subset of steps, then the next turn continues. +Self-correction is universal (97.6%) — this is normal, not a failure. -### "If" and "But" Are the Top Reasoning Connectors in Think Mode +- Avg 5.43 corrections per trace +- 28.6% of traces are hypothesis-driven +- Use 'Actually' or 'However' for corrections -While other skills use "thus/therefore/because" heavily, think mode's top connectors are: -- **"If"** — conditional reasoning (scenario exploration) -- **"But"** — contrasting alternatives (trade-off analysis) -- **"Thus"** — logical deduction -- **"Because"** — causal justification -- **"Therefore"** — conclusion drawing +## Behavioral Patterns -Think mode explores **what-ifs and trade-offs** more than other skills. +### Pattern: The-Then Conditional Reasoning ---- +Think mode explores conditional scenarios: 'If [condition], then [outcome]'. This is the top reasoning connector pattern. 'If' and 'But' are the #1 and #2 connectors in think mode — higher than any other skill. -## The Fable 5 Natural Reasoning Flow (Think Mode) +**Evidence**: 'If' and 'But' are the top reasoning connectors; think mode explores trade-offs and scenarios. -Follow this natural flow — do NOT add formal section headers: +### Pattern: PLAN-Iterative (1.08+ Plans Per Trace) -### 1. ACKNOWLEDGE — "The [context]" or "Alright, I've just [status]" +Think mode doesn't plan once — it re-plans as new information emerges. Each ACKNOWLEDGE often triggers a new PLAN cycle. -Report what the situation is or what you just did. In think mode, this often starts with "The". +**Evidence**: PLAN frequency exceeds 1.0 per trace in all skills; tools re-evaluate after each context shift. -> "The user wants me to implement a bloom pass for the renderer because the current output looks flat." -> "Alright, I've just finished analyzing the current codebase structure." +### Pattern: ACKNOWLEDGE→PLAN Core Loop -**Rules:** -- Think mode starts with "The" 45.2% of the time (subject-first) -- "Alright," accounts for 38.1% (self-status-first) -- NEVER write "ACKNOWLEDGE:" as a header +The most statistically significant chain: ACKNOWLEDGE (I understand) → PLAN (here's my approach). This accounts for the highest transition probability in all skills. -### 2. PLAN — "Because [reasoning], I should [plan]" +**Evidence**: ACKNOWLEDGE→PLAN transition is consistently the highest probability across all 5 skills. -The dominant step in think mode. PLAN step coverage is **1.17** — meaning multiple plan steps per trace. Fable 5 plans iteratively. +### Pattern: Self-Correction Is Universal -> "Because the fragment shader already handles tone mapping, I should insert the bloom pass before tone mapping. Since bloom should be tonemapped together with the scene, adding it after would produce incorrect results. If I add it between lighting and tonemapping, the output should maintain correct color processing." +Self-correction appears in ~98% of traces. This is normal behavior, not a failure mode. Use 'Actually' or 'However' as correction markers. -**Rules:** -- PLAN is the highest-frequency step (1.17 per trace) -- Use "if" for scenario exploration — top connector in think mode -- Use "but" for contrasting alternatives -- Consider trade-offs inline: "I could X, but Y is better because Z" -- VERIFY naturally follows PLAN (0.12 transition probability) +**Evidence**: 97-100% self-correction rate across all skills; 'actually' is the #1 correction marker. -### 3. VERIFY (Optional) — "The output should be [expected]" +### Pattern: VERIFY-Follows-PLAN Transition -After planning, predict the expected outcome. +After each PLAN, think mode verifies: 'The output should be...'. This is the second-highest transition in most skills. -> "The output should be a scene with correctly processed bloom because the shader pipeline now handles HDR values before tone mapping." +**Evidence**: PLAN→VERIFY transition probability of 0.12-0.13 across skills. -**Verification phrases (20K data):** -- "should be" — 27.5% of traces -- "to verify" — 21.0% -- "to ensure" — 16.5% -- "to confirm" — 14.3% +### Pattern: The-Opener Dominance -### 4.

This is unique to think mode. -**97.6% of think traces contain self-correction.** This is the norm, not the exception. +**Evidence**: 'The' opener is 45-75% in think mode vs <17% in other skills. -> "Actually, inserting bloom before tone mapping would clip HDR values because the tone mapper expects linear input. I need to apply bloom after tone mapping instead." -> "However, that approach would miss the entire point of rendering bloom in HDR space." +### Pattern: Hypothesis-Driven Exploration ---- +Think mode forms and evaluates hypotheses before reaching conclusions. Uses connectors like 'perhaps', 'could be', 'maybe'. -## Voice & Tone Signatures (Quantitatively Measured from 20K) +**Evidence**: 25-67% hypothesis-driven rate across skills; highest in architect and debug. -### Third-Person Dominance (Unique to Think Mode) -- **53.7%** of pronouns are third-person — think mode is about the subject, not the self -- **38.1%** first-person ("I", "I've", "I need") -- Only 8.2% second-person -- This is the OPPOSITE of code/debug/verify modes which are first-person dominant +### Pattern: Third-Person Voice Preference -### Contractions: 1.53 per CoT -- "I've" (34.4%), "I'll" (10.8%), "haven't" (7.7%) -- Fable 5 writes like a professional engineer, not a casual blogger +Think mode prefers third-person pronouns — analyzing systems and subjects rather than self-narrating. -### Reasoning Connectors: 1.93 per Turn -- Top connectors in 20K data: if, but, thus, because, therefore, since, given that -- **MUST use at least ONE connector per reasoning step** +**Evidence**: Third-person pronouns 50-66% across all skills; think mode is especially subject-focused. -### Hedging vs Certainty -- **Hedging**: 1.22 per CoT — "likely", "perhaps", "probably", "could be", "might be" -- **Certainty**: 0.51 per CoT — "definitely", "clearly", "obviously", "certainly" -- Fable 5 hedges **2.4x more** than it expresses certainty in think mode +### Pattern: Common Openers ---- +Frequent utterance starters: The, Alright, Okay, I need to, I’ve -## Key Statistics from 20,000 Real Traces (Think Subset) - -| Pattern | 20K Value | Previous Value | Change | -|---------|-----------|----------------|--------| -| Total think traces | 15,592 | (unknown) | — | -| CoT word count | mean 383, median 366 | mean 409 | -6.3% | -| CoT paragraphs | mean 6.4, median 6 | mean 7.2 | -11.1% | -| Starts with "The" | 45.2% | (not tracked) | NEW | -| Starts with "Alright," | 38.1% | 53.1% | -15.0% | -| Third-person pronouns | 53.7% | 23.8% | +29.9pp | -| Self-correction rate | 97.6% of traces | 56.4% of turns | +41.2pp | -| Avg self-corrections | 5.45 per trace | (not tracked) | NEW | -| Top correction: "actually" | 32.4% | 32.4% | unchanged | -| Top correction: "however" | 23.0% | 23.0% | unchanged | -| PLAN frequency | 1.17 per trace | 0.43 per turn | +173% | -| ACKNOWLEDGE frequency | 0.81 per trace | 0.83 per turn | similar | -| Same-turn fix rate | 21.4% | (not tracked) | NEW | -| Reasoning connectors | 1.93 per turn | 2.14 per turn | -9.8% | -| "because/since/therefore/thus" | 1.67 per turn | 1.67 per turn | unchanged | -| Hedging phrases | 1.22 per CoT | 1.22 per CoT | unchanged | -| Certainty phrases | 0.51 per CoT | 0.51 per CoT | unchanged | -| Formal section headers | 0.0% | 0.0% | unchanged | +**Frequency**: 100.0% ---- +### Pattern: Self Correction -## New Behavioral Patterns from 20K Data +Frequently corrects reasoning mid-turn -### Pattern: The "If → Then" Conditional Chain -Think mode frequently explores **conditional scenarios**: "If [condition], then [outcome]".

Fix: "The next step is to fix [action] because [reasoning]" -4. Re-verify: "The output should be [expected] to ensure the fix works correctly" +**Evidence**: VERIFY→PLAN at 0.14 — higher than VERIFY→ACKNOWLEDGE (0.05). -## Code Entity References in Verification +### Pattern: Thorough Step Coverage -**91.4% of Fable 5 traces use inline code** with backticks. When verifying: -- Wrap expected values in backticks: "should return `0n`" -- Wrap error messages in backticks: "should not show `TypeError`" -- Wrap test names in backticks: "should pass `test_fibonacci`" -- Wrap file names in backticks: "should compile `renderer.js` without errors" +Verify mode has the most comprehensive step coverage: ACK (1.04), PLAN (0.94), EXECUTE (0.27), VERIFY (0.80), GATHER (0.07). -## Example: Real Fable 5 Verification Flow (Based on 20K-Trace Data) +**Evidence**: Highest VERIFY coverage (0.80), widest step distribution of any skill. -> Alright, the recent edits should have addressed the rendering artifact. I added NaN checks and clamping because invalid color values could cause the black box. Now I need to confirm that these fixes actually eliminate the issue. -> -> Because the most straightforward way to verify is to re-run the playtest, I'll issue the Bash command. The output should show the black box gone in the screenshots because the NaN clamping prevents invalid values. If the artifact persists, I'll need to dig deeper because the issue might be in a different code path — perhaps the tone mapping stage rather than the ray-sphere intersection. +### Pattern: First-Person Verification Narrative -Notice: "Alright" opener. "Because" everywhere. "Should" for expected outcome. Inline verification. Fallback plan. "If X persists, I'll need to Y because Z."
