Description
Integration for the Fabric AI framework (https://github.com/danielmiessler/Fabric). This skill manages text processing by reading local pattern files directly, while utilizing the Fabric CLI for specific web, YouTube, and search retrieval tasks.
Rules
1. Pattern Application (Text Processing)
Constraint: Do NOT use fabric -p "pattern" to process text.
Instead, you must manually apply the pattern using the following logic:
- Identify Pattern: Determine the correct pattern name. If unsure, read
~/.config/fabric/patterns/pattern_explanations.mdto find the best fit. - Read Instruction: Read the content of the system prompt file located at:
~/.config/fabric/patterns/"pattern_name"/system.md - Apply: Use the content of that
system.mdfile as your strict instruction/persona to process the user's text.
2. Fabric CLI Usage (Retrieval & Tools)
Only use the fabric command line tool for the following specific retrieval or maintenance tasks:
- YouTube/Video: Use
fabric -y "URL"- Default behavior: Returns the transcript.
- Supported flags:
--playlist(Prefer playlist over video)--transcript(Default)--transcript-with-timestamps--comments--metadata--yt-dlp-args="..."(e.g.,--cookies-from-browser brave)--spotify="..."(For Spotify podcast/episode metadata)
- Web Scraping: Use
fabric -u "URL"to fetch page contents as Markdown. - Context Search: Use
fabric -q "question"to search using Jina AI. - Updates: Use
fabric -Uto update the local patterns folder.
3. Integrations
- Obsidian: If the user asks to save, read, or interact with their Obsidian vault in relation to Fabric content (e.g., "save this summary to my vault"), utilize the
obsidian-cliskill.
Examples
User: "Summarize this website using the extract_wisdom pattern: https://example.com" Action:
- Run
fabric -u "https://example.com"to get the raw text. - Read
~/.config/fabric/patterns/extract_wisdom/system.md. - Process the raw text using the instructions found in
system.md.
User: "Use fabric to get the transcript with timestamps for this video."
Action:
Run fabric -y "VIDEO_URL" --transcript-with-timestamps
User: "I need to use fabric to analyze this text but I don't know which pattern to use." Action:
- Read
~/.config/fabric/patterns/pattern_explanations.md. - Select the most relevant pattern.
- Read that pattern's
system.mdand apply it to the text.
