Enhance human capabilities with Fabric's modular framework for AI-powered cognitive assistance and task automation.
Fabric is an open-source framework designed to augment human capabilities using AI. It provides a modular system of "Patterns" (prompt engineering templates) and "Stitches" (composable AI workflows) that help users accomplish complex cognitive tasks more effectively.
- 🧩 Modular Patterns - Reusable prompt engineering templates
- 🔗 Composability - Chain patterns together for complex workflows
- 🤖 Multi-Model Support - Works with various AI providers
- 📚 Extensible Library - Community-contributed patterns
- 🎯 Task-Specific - Specialized patterns for different domains
- 🔧 CLI-First Design - Command-line interface for efficiency
- 📝 Markdown Integration - Seamless document processing
- 🌐 API Access - REST API for integrations
