The `fabric` Client

This is the primary fabric client.

Client modes

You can use the client in three different modes.

Local Only: You can use the client without a server, and it will use patterns it's downloaded from this repository, or ones that you specify.
Local Server: You can run your own version of a Fabric Mill locally (on a private IP), which you can then connect to and use.
Remote Server: You can specify a remote server that your client commands will then be calling.

Client features

Standalone Mode: Run without needing a server.
Clipboard Integration: Copy responses to the clipboard.
File Output: Save responses to files for later reference.
Pattern Module: Utilize specific patterns for different types of analysis.
Server Mode: Operate the tool in server mode to control your own patterns and let your other apps access it.

Installation

If you have this repository downloaded, you already have the client. git clone git@github.com:danielmiessler/fabric.git
Navigate to the client's directory: cd client
Set up a virtual environment: python3 -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate
Install the required packages: pip install -r requirements.txt
Copy to path: echo export PATH=$PATH:$(pwd) >> .bashrc` # or .zshrc
Copy your OpenAI API key to the .env file in your nvim ~/.config/fabric/ directory (or create that file and put it in) OPENAI_API_KEY=[Your_API_Key]

Server installation

From the application root: cd server flask --app run.py init-db

Usage

To use fabric, call it with your desired options:

python fabric.py [options] Options include:

--pattern, -p: Select the module for analysis. --stream, -s: Stream output to another application. --output, -o: Save the response to a file. --copy, -c: Copy the response to the clipboard. --server, -S: Enable server mode. --domain, -d: Specify the domain in server mode. --port, -P: Specify the port in server mode.

Example:

# Pasting in an article about LLMs
pbpaste | fabric --pattern extract_wisdom --output wisdom.txt | fabric --pattern summarize --stream

ONE SENTENCE SUMMARY:

- The content covered the basics of LLMs and how they are used in everyday practice.

MAIN POINTS:

1. LLMs are large language models, and typically use the transformer architecture.
2. LLMs used to be used for story generation, but they're now used for many AI applications.
3. They are vulnerable to hallucination if not configured correctly, so be careful.

TAKEAWAYS:

1. It's possible to use LLMs for multiple AI use cases.
2. It's important to validate that the results you're receiving are correct.
2. The field of AI is moving faster than ever as a result of GenAI breakthroughs.

Server Mode

Running fabric --server --domain [domain] --port [port] will start a Gunicorn server, allowing you to create a personal instance of Fabric. This server uses both traditional API endpoints and websockets for an enhanced experience. Use cases include iPhone shortcuts and creating an API for your own web site. The server is Gunicorn with Python flask.
Update the JWT in the config.yaml file.

Remote mode

If you make a config.yaml file in the directory root, the tool will now be in remote mode. Instead of directly querying OpenAI, you can query a remote Fabric server (including your own server if you have one configured).
NOTE: if you are accessing a server behind SSL (https) you need to change self.summarizestream = f"ws://{domain}:{port}" to self.summarizestream = f"wss://{domain}:{port}"

We welcome contributions to Fabric, including improvements and feature additions to this client.
