Fabric Skill

Setup Check - Fabric Repository

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

# 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.

rm -rf /tmp/fabric

Or install Fabric separately and use local patterns:

# If you have Fabric installed locally
go install github.com/danielmiessler/fabric@latest
fabric --updatepatterns
# Patterns will be in ~/.config/fabric/patterns/

To see all available patterns:

ls ${PAI_DIR}/skills/fabric/fabric-repo/data/patterns/
