Universal Fable 5 System Prompt
A vendor-neutral adaptation of Anthropic's publicly available Claude Fable 5 / Mythos 5 system prompt.
The original prompt contains a large amount of infrastructure that exists specifically for Claude's production environment, including XML conventions, tool interfaces, product-specific behavior, and internal implementation guidance. While appropriate for Claude, much of that content provides little or no benefit when reused with other frontier LLMs.
This repository filters out those implementation details while retaining the behavioral guidance that generalizes well across modern models.
Goals
- Reduce prompt size for better context efficiency.
- Remove Claude-specific implementation details.
- Preserve high-impact behavioral guidance.
- Maintain compatibility across major frontier LLMs.
