| version | 1.0.0 |
| description | Intelligent prompt pattern system with 240+ specialized patterns for content analysis, extraction, and transformation. USE WHEN user says 'use fabric', 'fabric pattern', 'run fabric', 'update fabric', 'update patterns', 'sync fabric', 'extract wisdom', 'summarize with fabric', 'create threat model', 'analyze with fabric', OR any request to apply Fabric patterns to content. |
Customization
Before executing, check for user customizations at:
~/.Codex/skills/PAI/USER/SKILLCUSTOMIZATIONS/Fabric/
If this directory exists, load and apply any PREFERENCES.md, configurations, or resources found there. These override default behavior. If the directory does not exist, proceed with skill defaults.
Voice Notification
When executing a workflow, do BOTH:
-
Send voice notification:
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8888/notify \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"message": "Running the WORKFLOWNAME workflow in the Fabric skill to ACTION"}' \
> /dev/null 2>&1 &
-
Output text notification:
Running the **WorkflowName** workflow in the **Fabric** skill to ACTION...

Fabric
Intelligent prompt pattern system providing 240+ specialized patterns for content analysis, extraction, summarization, threat modeling, and transformation.
Patterns Location: ~/.Codex/skills/Fabric/Patterns/
Workflow Routing
| Workflow | Trigger | File |
|---|
| ExecutePattern | "use fabric", "run pattern", "apply pattern", "extract wisdom", "summarize", "analyze with fabric" | Workflows/ExecutePattern.md |
| UpdatePatterns | "update fabric", "update patterns", "sync fabric", "pull patterns" | Workflows/UpdatePatterns.md |
Examples
Example 1: Extract wisdom from content
User: "Use fabric to extract wisdom from this article"
-> Invokes ExecutePattern workflow
-> Selects extract_wisdom pattern
-> Reads Patterns/extract_wisdom/system.md
-> Applies pattern to content
-> Returns structured IDEAS, INSIGHTS, QUOTES, etc.
Example 2: Update patterns
User: "Update fabric patterns"
-> Invokes UpdatePatterns workflow
-> Runs git pull from upstream fabric repository
-> Syncs patterns to local Patterns/ directory
-> Reports pattern count
Example 3: Create threat model
User: "Use fabric to create a threat model for this API"
-> Invokes ExecutePattern workflow
-> Selects create_threat_model pattern
-> Applies STRIDE methodology
-> Returns structured threat analysis
Quick Reference
Pattern Execution (Native - No CLI Required)
Instead of calling fabric -p pattern_name, PAI executes patterns natively:
- Reads
Patterns/{pattern_name}/system.md
- Applies pattern instructions directly as prompt
- Returns results without external CLI calls
When to Use Fabric CLI Directly
Only use fabric command for:
-y URL - YouTube transcript extraction-u URL - URL content fetching (when native fetch fails)
Most Common Patterns
| Intent | Pattern | Description |
|---|
| Extract insights | extract_wisdom | IDEAS, INSIGHTS, QUOTES, HABITS |
| Summarize | summarize | General summary |
| 5-sentence summary | create_5_sentence_summary | Ultra-concise |
| Threat model | create_threat_model | Security threat analysis |
| Analyze claims | analyze_claims | Fact-check claims |
| Improve writing | improve_writing | Writing enhancement |
| Code review | review_code | Code analysis |
| Main idea | extract_main_idea | Core message extraction |
Full Pattern Catalog
See PatternCatalog.md for complete list of 240+ patterns organized by category.
Native Pattern Execution
How it works:
User Request โ Pattern Selection โ Read system.md โ Apply โ Return Results
Pattern Structure:
Patterns/
โโโ extract_wisdom/
โ โโโ system.md # The prompt instructions
โโโ summarize/
โ โโโ system.md
โโโ create_threat_model/
โ โโโ system.md
โโโ ...240+ patterns
Each pattern's system.md contains the full prompt that defines:
- IDENTITY (who the AI should be)
- PURPOSE (what to accomplish)
- STEPS (how to process input)
- OUTPUT (structured format)
Pattern Categories
| Category | Count | Examples |
|---|
| Extraction | 30+ | extract_wisdom, extract_insights, extract_main_idea |
| Summarization | 20+ | summarize, create_5_sentence_summary, youtube_summary |
| Analysis | 35+ | analyze_claims, analyze_code, analyze_threat_report |
| Creation | 50+ | create_threat_model, create_prd, create_mermaid_visualization |
| Improvement | 10+ | improve_writing, improve_prompt, review_code |
| Security | 15 | create_stride_threat_model, create_sigma_rules, analyze_malware |
| Rating | 8 | rate_content, judge_output, rate_ai_response |
Integration
