[Question]: Managing Prompt Library Inside '.config/fabric/patterns'

[DarwinJS]

What is your question?

So I've made this configuration folder into a git repo that I sync to a personal repository.

This allows it to be portable across machines and for me to manage my own prompts, leverage fabrics and curate others into this structure.

My question is - is there a better way or compatible utilities that already do something similar that I could just use?

I do the same thing and I sync it across all my machines using some homegrown automation. I have a custom fabric (public repo) too:

https://github.com/ksylvan/custom-fabric

By enabling the automated creation of shell aliases as mentioned in the Fabric README file, the scripts in that repository improve the prompting experience for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Simon Willison's superb tool llm, specifically its templates feature, can be used to create LLM workflows based on a portable prompt library. It also has plugins to easily load templates from fabric (https://github.com/simonw/llm-templates-fabric) or any GitHub repo (https://github.com/simonw/llm-templates-github).

@DarwinJS: Check out the new custom pattern directory feature.

Now you don't have to mess with the ~/.config/fabric/patterns/ folder at all. You just put your own patterns wherever you want, tell Fabric where they are, and Fabric merges them with the standard pattern list.
