Update claude-api skill: Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 (#1294)

- Add Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 to the model tables with pricing,
  context window, and model-selection guidance
- Document Fable-specific API behavior: always-on adaptive thinking (explicit
  disabled returns 400), protected-thinking display and replay rules, new
  tokenizer (~30% more tokens), refusal stop reason with server-side fallbacks
  and SDK fallback middleware, 30-day data-retention requirement
- Add the full Migrating to Claude Fable 5 guide section and checklist,
  including the Mythos Preview migration path
- Refresh skill trigger description, effort/compaction/task-budget notes,
  caching minimums, structured-output and dynamic-filtering support tables

### Model Descriptions
- **Claude Opus 4.8** — The most capable Claude model to date — highly autonomous, state-of-the-art on long-horizon agentic work, knowledge work, and memory; clearer, warmer writing. Same API surface as Opus 4.7 (adaptive thinking only; sampling parameters and `budget_tokens` removed). 1M context window at standard API pricing (no long-context premium). See `shared/model-migration.md` → Migrating to Opus 4.8 — a 4.7 → 4.8 move is a model-ID swap plus prompt re-tuning, no new breaking changes.
- **Claude Fable 5** — Anthropic's most capable widely released model, for the most demanding reasoning and long-horizon agentic work. Same API surface as Opus 4.7/4.8 with one new breaking change: an explicit `thinking: {type: "disabled"}` returns a 400 — omit the `thinking` parameter instead (thinking is always on, returned in protected/encrypted form). New tokenizer (~30% more tokens than Opus-tier for the same content). Safety classifiers may return `stop_reason: "refusal"`. No assistant prefill. Requires 30-day data retention (not available under ZDR). $10/$50 per MTok; 1M context window (default), 128K max output. See `shared/model-migration.md` → Migrating to Claude Fable 5.
- **Claude Mythos 5** — Same capabilities, pricing, limits, and API behavior as Claude Fable 5; only the model ID differs. Available exclusively through Project Glasswing, where it joins (and succeeds) the invitation-only Claude Mythos Preview (`claude-mythos-preview`). Use it only when the org participates in Project Glasswing; otherwise use claude-fable-5.
- **Claude Opus 4.8** — The most capable Opus-tier model — highly autonomous, state-of-the-art on long-horizon agentic work, knowledge work, and memory; clearer, warmer writing. Same API surface as Opus 4.7 (adaptive thinking only; sampling parameters and `budget_tokens` removed). 1M context window at standard API pricing (no long-context premium). See `shared/model-migration.md` → Migrating to Opus 4.8 — a 4.7 → 4.8 move is a model-ID swap plus prompt re-tuning, no new breaking changes.
- **Claude Opus 4.7** — Previous-generation Opus. Highly autonomous; strong on long-horizon agentic work, knowledge work, vision, and memory. Adaptive thinking only; sampling parameters and `budget_tokens` removed. 1M context window. See `shared/model-migration.md` → Migrating to Opus 4.7.
- **Claude Opus 4.6** — Older Opus. Supports adaptive thinking (recommended), 128K max output tokens (requires streaming for large outputs). 1M context window.
- **Claude Sonnet 4.6** — Our best combination of speed and intelligence. Supports adaptive thinking (recommended). 1M context window. 64K max output tokens.
