How many patterns are available in this skill?

The skill provides access to the full Fabric library of over 248 patterns across categories like security, academic analysis, and content creation.

Do I still need the Fabric CLI installed?

Yes, the Fabric CLI is still required for specific tasks that require external network calls, such as fetching YouTube transcripts or updating the local pattern library from GitHub.

How do I update the patterns to the latest versions?

You can run the provided update script (./tools/update-patterns.sh) which uses the Fabric CLI to fetch upstream updates and syncs them to your local patterns directory.

Why use native patterns instead of the Fabric CLI?

Native patterns run faster by avoiding process spawning and leverage Claude's full conversation context and high-tier model intelligence (Opus/Sonnet) rather than a standalone CLI model configuration.

Security & Testing

Integrates Daniel Miessler’s Fabric patterns natively into Claude Code for seamless content analysis, security auditing, and wisdom extraction.

About

The Fabric Skill empowers Claude Code to execute over 248 specialized Fabric patterns directly within the AI's native context. By reading markdown-based prompts from the local repository rather than spawning external CLI processes, this skill allows users to leverage Claude's full model intelligence (Opus/Sonnet) and conversation history for tasks like threat modeling, summarization, and code analysis. This approach provides faster execution, better reasoning, and deeper integration with your existing coding session while maintaining access to the extensive library of Fabric templates.
