Fabric
Fabric is a command-line orchestrator designed to automate complex data processing and content generation tasks by chaining artificial intelligence models with modular prompt templates. It functions as a terminal-based tool that utilizes standard input and output streams, allowing users to pipe data directly into predefined reasoning strategies. By providing a model-agnostic abstraction layer, the system decouples execution logic from specific artificial intelligence vendors, normalizing requests and responses across different service providers.
The platform distinguishes itself through its pattern-based orchestration, which enables the organization, storage, and reuse of custom prompt collections for consistent task execution. It includes a built-in server component that exposes these local prompt workflows as standard web endpoints, allowing external software and graphical interfaces to interact with custom logic as if it were a native model. Users can manage these interactions through a dedicated directory for private templates or via a graphical web dashboard, providing flexibility in how automated workflows are configured and monitored.
Beyond its core orchestration capabilities, the tool offers a suite of utilities for development tasks, including document analysis, code context generation, and system interaction. It supports advanced reasoning techniques, such as chain-of-thought processing, and allows for specific model-to-pattern mapping to balance performance and operational costs. The system maintains state and configuration through local filesystem storage, ensuring portability across different operating environments.
