Khoj + Fable 5: A Second Brain That Knows Your Notes

The Stack

Tested Against

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+ (pip install khoj), then run khoj
• An Anthropic API key (Claude API) for claude-fable-5

Steps

1. 1

   Install Khoj and set Fable as the chat model

   pip install khoj, then run khoj and open the settings page. Add Claude as your chat model: set the chat-model to claude-fable-5 and the model-type to Anthropic, then connect a folder of documents.

2. 2

   What CI checks: the chat-model setting is valid and names Fable

   CI confirms the chat-model setting parses, the model type is anthropic, and the chat model is claude-fable-5. That's the deterministic precondition, no key. The remembering and answering are fenced.

   cat > khoj-chat-model.json <<'EOF'
   { "name": "Anthropic", "chat_model": "claude-fable-5", "model_type": "anthropic" }
   EOF
   cat > checkkhoj.mjs <<'EOF'
   import { readFileSync } from 'node:fs';
   const cfg = JSON.parse(readFileSync('khoj-chat-model.json', 'utf8'));
   let ok = true;
   function check(label, cond){ console.log(label + ': ' + (cond ? 'yes' : 'NO')); if(!cond) ok=false; }
   check('chat-model setting parses', true);
   check('model type is anthropic', cfg.model_type === 'anthropic');
   check('chat model is claude-fable-5', cfg.chat_model === 'claude-fable-5');
   if(!ok){ console.log('khoj config check FAILED'); process.exit(1); }
   console.log('khoj config check OK: anthropic chat-model claude-fable-5');
   EOF
   node checkkhoj.mjs

3. 3

   Ask it about your docs (the model step, not checked by CI)

   Connect your folder and ask Khoj about your own notes. Fable finds the right passage and answers, which runs the model, so CI never claims it. The badge covers the chat-model setting, not the answer.
