// BEFORE YOU START

Read this first 👋

What is Fable 5? Claude Fable 5 is Anthropic's most advanced AI model. It doesn't just answer questions — it can do entire jobs: write and run code, build websites, connect to your apps, and work on its own.

WHAT YOU NEED

  • A Claude account → go to claude.ai and sign up (free to start)
  • A laptop/desktop is best (mobile works for most of these too)
  • 15–30 minutes per project
🏆 The one golden rule: The more clearly you explain what you want, the better the result. Talk to Fable 5 like you're explaining to a smart friend — not like typing keywords into Google.

// PROJECT 01

Build a Trading Bot 📈
(Zero Code)

⚠️ HONEST WARNING FIRST

This bot will NOT make you rich overnight. It's a tool that watches charts and follows YOUR rules automatically. Whether those rules make money depends on your strategy. Always start with paper trading (fake money) — never real money on day one. Nothing here is financial advice.

🎯 WHAT YOU'LL BUILD

  • Watches live market prices
  • Checks your conditions (e.g., "RSI below 30")
  • Places a trade automatically when conditions match
  • Sends you an alert when it acts

🛠️ WHAT YOU NEED

  • Claude account
  • A broker/exchange with an API + paper trading mode (examples: Alpaca for US stocks, Binance Testnet for crypto, or your broker's sandbox). API = a way for programs to talk to your broker.
1

Decide your rule in plain English

Before touching AI, write ONE simple rule on paper. Example:

"If Bitcoin's price drops 3% in 1 hour, buy ₹500 worth. If it rises 5% from my buy price, sell."

Simple rules first. Make it fancy later.

2

Get your paper trading API keys

  • Sign up on your exchange's testnet / paper mode
  • Find the "API Keys" section in settings
  • Create a key. You'll get an API Key and a Secret. Keep them safe — never post them publicly.
3

Ask Fable 5 to build it

Open Claude and paste this prompt:

PROMPT 01 — TRADING BOT
I want to build a simple trading bot. I have never coded before,
so explain everything in simple terms.

My setup:
- Exchange: [Binance Testnet / Alpaca Paper]
- Asset: [BTC/USDT or a stock]
- My rule: [Buy when RSI(14) on the 1-hour chart goes below 30.
  Sell when it goes above 70. Trade size: small fixed amount.]
- I want it to run in PAPER TRADING mode only.

Please:
1. Write the complete bot code in Python
2. Tell me exactly where to paste my API keys
3. Give me step-by-step instructions to run it on my laptop
4. Add a log so I can see every decision the bot makes

✏️ Edit the parts in [brackets] before sending.

4

Follow the setup instructions it gives

Fable 5 will tell you to install Python and run 2–3 copy-paste commands. If ANY error appears, just paste the error back into the chat — it will fix it. This back-and-forth is normal!

5

Watch it run (the fun part)

Let it run in paper mode for at least 1–2 weeks. Check the log daily, then ask:

PROMPT 02 — BOT REVIEW
Here's my bot's log from this week: [paste log]
What's working? What should I change?
💡 Pro tip: Ask Fable 5 to backtest first: "Test my rule on the last 6 months of historical data and show me how it would have performed." You'll know in 5 minutes if your rule makes sense.
❌ Common mistakes:
  • Using real money on day 1 (please don't 🙏)
  • Making rules too complicated in the beginning
  • Ignoring the log — the log is where you learn

// PROJECT 02

Screenshot → Working Website 📸

Take a screenshot of ANY website design → Fable 5 rebuilds it as a real, working website — including the functionalities, not just the look. Buttons click, menus open, forms submit, tabs switch. Fable 5 understands what each element is supposed to do, and builds that behavior. No design file. No code. One picture → fully working website.

🛠️ WHAT YOU NEED

  • Claude account
  • One screenshot — a website you like, a Dribbble/Pinterest design, or even your hand-drawn sketch (yes, sketches work!)
1

Take a good screenshot

Full-page screenshots work best. On Chrome: press F12Ctrl+Shift+P → type "screenshot" → choose "Capture full size screenshot."

2

Upload it with this prompt

PROMPT 03 — SCREENSHOT TO SITE
Here's a screenshot of a website design. Recreate this as a
complete, working website — replicate the FUNCTIONALITY,
not just the design.

Requirements:
- Match the layout, colors, fonts, and spacing as closely as possible
- REPLICATE ALL FUNCTIONALITIES: every button, menu, dropdown,
  tab, slider, and form in the screenshot must actually WORK.
  Look at each element and build the behavior it's meant to have
- If the design shows interactive sections (image carousel,
  FAQ accordion, pricing toggle, search bar), build them as
  fully working features
- Make it mobile-responsive
- Use my content instead of theirs:
  - Business name: [your name]
  - Tagline: [your tagline]
  - Services: [list 3 services]
  - Contact: [your email/phone]

Build it as a single HTML file I can preview right away.

✏️ Attach your screenshot + edit the [brackets].

3

Watch it appear — and TEST the functionality!

Fable 5 shows a live preview right inside the chat. Now actually CLICK things — open the menu, switch tabs, toggle the pricing, submit the form. This is the "wait, WHAT?" moment: it didn't just copy the picture, it rebuilt the behavior behind the picture.

Honest note: front-end functionality (menus, tabs, forms, carousels, calculators) is rebuilt fully working. For backend features like payments or login, Fable 5 builds the working structure — you connect your own accounts (like Razorpay) at the end, and it guides you through that too.

4

Refine like a designer

Now just talk to it:

  • "Make the header sticky"
  • "Change the color theme to dark blue and gold"
  • "Add a WhatsApp chat button in the bottom right corner"
  • "Add a photo gallery section"

Each change appears live. This is where it becomes addictive 😄

5

Put it online

Ask: "How do I publish this for free?" — Fable 5 will walk you through free hosting (like Netlify or Vercel) step by step. Total time: ~10 minutes.

💡 Pro tip: Screenshot 2–3 websites and say: "Take the hero section from image 1, the pricing table from image 2, and the footer from image 3." You just became a web designer.
❌ Common mistakes:
  • Blurry/cropped screenshots → give the full page
  • Building 10 pages at once → perfect page 1 first, then "now create the About page in the same style"

// PROJECT 03

Your Second Brain 🧠

All your scattered notes — Google Docs, Notion pages, random files, idea screenshots — connected into ONE brain that Fable 5 knows completely. Ask it anything about your own work and it answers from YOUR notes. Setup: just 4 steps.

1

Create a Project

In Claude, click Projects → New Project. Name it "My Second Brain." A Project is a permanent workspace — everything you add stays there for every future chat.

2

Feed it your notes

  • Upload files: drag your notes, docs, and PDFs into the Project's knowledge section
  • Connect your apps: in settings, connect tools like Google Drive so Fable 5 can search your actual documents directly
3

Give your brain its instructions

Paste this into the Project's custom instructions box:

PROMPT 04 — SECOND BRAIN SETUP
You are my Second Brain. You know all my notes, ideas, and plans.

When I ask something:
1. Search my notes first and answer from them
2. Connect related ideas across different notes
3. If you spot gaps or contradictions in my thinking, tell me
4. When I share a new idea, tell me which old notes it connects to

Keep answers short and practical.
4

Use it daily

Try these:

  • "What were all my content ideas from last month? Rank them by potential."
  • "I wrote something about a client pricing strategy somewhere — find it and summarize."
  • "Here's a new idea: [idea]. Does this connect to anything I've noted before?"
  • "What themes keep repeating across all my notes?" ← this one is scary-good
💡 Pro tip: End each week with: "Here's everything on my mind this week: [brain dump]. Organize it, connect it to my existing notes, and tell me my top 3 priorities." Your brain updates itself.
❌ Common mistakes:
  • Waiting to "clean up" notes first — upload the mess, Fable 5 organizes it
  • Creating it and never returning — the magic compounds with daily use

// PROJECT 04

Self-Improving AI 🔁

Instead of asking one question and closing the tab, you give Fable 5 a goal + a way to check its own work. It loops: does the work → checks it → finds mistakes → improves → repeats. You come back to a finished, polished result.

THE CORE CONCEPT — understand this and you're ahead of 99%

Normal use:  Question → Answer → Done. Power use:   Goal + Success Criteria → AI works → AI grades itself → improves → repeats.

The magic ingredient is the success criteria — a checklist the AI uses to judge its own output.

1

Pick a job (not a question)

❌ Bad: "Write me an Instagram caption."
✅ Good: "Create my complete 30-day content calendar."

2

Write your success criteria

3–5 measurable checks. Example for content:

  • Every hook must be under 8 words
  • Every post must have a clear CTA
  • No two posts in the same week can use the same format
  • Each idea must target one specific pain point
3

Use the Self-Improvement Prompt (save this!)

PROMPT 05 — SELF-IMPROVEMENT LOOP
GOAL: [Create a 30-day Instagram content calendar for my
fitness coaching brand]

SUCCESS CRITERIA:
1. [Every hook under 8 words]
2. [Mix of formats: reels, carousels, stories]
3. [Each post targets one specific audience pain point]
4. [Every post has a clear CTA]

PROCESS — follow this loop:
1. Create the first version
2. Then STOP and grade your own work against each criterion,
   scoring 1-10 with honest reasons
3. Rewrite everything that scored below 8
4. Repeat the grade-and-improve loop 3 times
5. Show me only the final version + a summary of what you
   improved in each round

✏️ Replace GOAL and CRITERIA with your own task.

4

Go get a coffee ☕

Fable 5 runs the whole loop itself. When you return, you get version 3 — not version 1. The quality difference is massive.

5

Level up: give it real-world checks

For coding tasks, the AI can literally run its own code and fix errors automatically:

PROMPT 06 — SELF-FIXING CODE
Build [X]. After writing the code, RUN it. If there are any
errors, fix them and run again. Repeat until it works perfectly.
Only show me the final working version.

This is "handing over whole jobs" — the AI does the work AND the quality control.

💡 Pro tip: Add this line to any big task: "Before starting, list 3 ways this task could go wrong, and design your approach to avoid them." Watch the quality jump.
❌ Common mistakes:
  • Vague criteria like "make it good" — AI can't grade "good," it can grade "under 8 words"
  • Skipping the loop count — always say how many improvement rounds you want

// PROJECT 05

Auto-Plan Your Schedule 📅

Every morning: Fable 5 looks at your goals → writes your to-do list → ranks by what actually matters → blocks it into your calendar. You just reply "book it."

🛠️ WHAT YOU NEED

  • Claude account
  • Your calendar (Google Calendar works great)
  • 10 minutes one-time setup
1

Connect your calendar

In Claude's settings, find Connectors and connect your Google Calendar. Fable 5 can now see your schedule and add events (it asks permission before adding anything).

2

Create a "Daily Planner" Project

New Project → name it "Daily Planner" → paste this into custom instructions:

PROMPT 07 — DAILY PLANNER SETUP
You are my daily planning assistant.

MY BIG GOALS:
1. [Grow my business to X clients]
2. [Post content daily]
3. [Health: gym 4x per week]

MY RULES:
- Deep work in the mornings (9am-12pm), meetings after 2pm
- Max 3 important tasks per day
- Always include a 30-min lunch break
- Never schedule anything after 8pm

When I say "plan my day":
1. Check my calendar for existing commitments
2. Ask me what's on my plate (or use what I tell you)
3. Rank tasks: what moves my big goals forward goes FIRST
4. Propose a time-blocked schedule
5. When I reply "book it" — add every block to my calendar

✏️ Put YOUR real goals and rules in the brackets.

3

Your new morning routine (2 minutes)

PROMPT 08 — DAILY TRIGGER
Plan my day. On my plate today: [client call follow-up,
edit reel, write proposal, gym, reply to 20 DMs]
4

Review the plan it proposes

9:00–10:30 → Write proposal (moves Goal #1 — highest priority)
10:30–11:00 → Edit reel (Goal #2)
11:00–11:15 → Client follow-up call
2:00–2:30 → Batch-reply DMs
6:00–7:00 → Gym (Goal #3)
"Reply 'book it' and I'll add these to your calendar."
5

Reply "book it" ✅

Done. Your calendar fills itself. One creator called this "the single most powerful thing I run" — because it removes the hardest part of productivity: deciding what matters.

💡 Pro tip: Every Friday ask: "Look at my calendar for this week. How did I actually spend my time vs my 3 big goals? What should change next week?" — Now you have an AI accountability coach too.
❌ Common mistakes:
  • Listing 15 tasks per day — the whole point is ranking and cutting
  • Not updating your big goals when they change

// BONUS

🎁 The 6th Hack

Combine Project 3 + Project 5. Connect your Second Brain with your daily planning, and ask:

PROMPT 09 — THE 6TH HACK
Look at my notes and goals in my Second Brain. Based on
everything I've said I want this year — what is the ONE task
I keep avoiding that would change everything? Schedule it
for tomorrow morning.

This one question has genuinely changed how people work. Try it once. 👀
