# Fabric Skill

## Setup Check - Fabric Repository

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

```bash
# 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.**

## 🔑 Key Insight

**The skill's value is in selecting the RIGHT pattern for the task.**

When user says "Create a threat model using Fabric", your job is to:
1. Recognize "threat model" intent
2. Know available options: `create_threat_model`, `create_stride_threat_model`, `create_threat_scenarios`
3. Select the best match (usually `create_threat_model` unless STRIDE specified)
4. Execute: `fabric "[content]" -p create_threat_model`

**Not:** "Here are the patterns, pick one"
**Instead:** "I'll use `create_threat_model` for this" → execute immediately
