Claude Fable 5 vs OpenClaw Skills

Summary

A user reports that setting the model ID to 'claude-fable-5' significantly enhances OpenClaw, potentially making skills obsolete for future users.

Hey guys, I jumped on Anthropic latest release and I'm blown away how this superchargers OpenClaw. Feels like skills are unnecessary with the first few assignments I've thrown at it. I manually configured my model to switch the model ID parameter to "claude-fable-5" and it is night and day. I think this will make skills almost irrelevant for future OpenClaw users. Anyone else jump the gun and experimented with Fable 5 yet?
