About Fabric
Fabric organises AI prompts into reusable, task-specific patterns, such as summarising an article or extracting key points from a transcript, and lets you run them from the command line. The pattern library is crowdsourced, so common tasks come ready to use and you can add your own.
Because it works from the terminal, text can be piped in from other commands and results piped onward, which makes it easy to fit into scripts. It works with local or remote models, and suits people who repeat the same kinds of AI tasks.
