# 2. Stop Overplanning

On smaller tasks Fable 5 can research and deliberate for minutes before it lifts a finger. That time comes out of your limits.

**When to use:** Paste at the top of any task where you already know what you want and just need it done.

## The prompt

```
When you have enough information to act, act. Do not re-derive facts already established in the conversation, re-litigate a decision I have already made, or narrate options you will not pursue. If you are weighing a choice, give a recommendation, not an exhaustive survey.
```

**Why it works:** This is Anthropic's own instruction for keeping the model moving when a task is clear enough to start.
