# Fabric Skill

## Setup Check - Fabric Repository

**IMPORTANT: Before using this skill, verify the Fabric repository is available:**

```bash
# Check if Fabric repo exists
if [ ! -d "$HOME/.claude/skills/fabric/fabric-repo" ]; then
  echo "Fabric repository not found. Cloning..."
  cd "$HOME/.claude/skills/fabric"
  git clone https://github.com/danielmiessler/fabric.git fabric-repo
  echo "Fabric repository cloned successfully."
else
  echo "Fabric repository found at $HOME/.claude/skills/fabric/fabric-repo"
fi
```

**If the repo doesn't exist, clone it immediately before proceeding with any pattern selection.**

| "summarize", "summary" | Summarization | `summarize`, `create_5_sentence_summary` |
| "extract wisdom", "insights" | Wisdom extraction | `extract_wisdom`, `extract_insights` |
| "analyze [X]" | Analysis | `analyze_[X]` (match X to pattern) |
| "improve", "enhance" | Improvement | `improve_writing`, `improve_prompt` |
| "create [visualization]" | Visualization | `create_mermaid_visualization`, `create_markmap_visualization` |
| "rate", "judge", "evaluate" | Rating | `rate_content`, `judge_output` |
| "main idea", "core message" | Core extraction | `extract_main_idea`, `extract_core_message` |

## 🚀 Advanced Usage

**Pipe content through Fabric:**
```bash
cat article.txt | fabric -p extract_wisdom
pbpaste | fabric -p summarize
curl -s "https://..." | fabric -p analyze_claims
```

**Process YouTube videos:**
```bash
# Fabric handles download + transcription + processing
fabric -y "https://youtube.com/watch?v=..." -p youtube_summary
```

**Chain patterns (manual):**
```bash
# Extract then summarize
fabric -u "URL" -p extract_wisdom > wisdom.txt
cat wisdom.txt | fabric -p create_5_sentence_summary
```

## 🔑 Key Insight

**The skill's value is in selecting the RIGHT pattern for the task.**

When user says "Create a threat model using Fabric", your job is to:
1. Recognize "threat model" intent
2. Know available options: `create_threat_model`, `create_stride_threat_model`, `create_threat_scenarios`
3. Select the best match (usually `create_threat_model` unless STRIDE specified)
4. Execute: `fabric "[content]" -p create_threat_model`

**Not:** "Here are the patterns, pick one"
**Instead:** "I'll use `create_threat_model` for this" → execute immediately
