+## What and why
+
+Since the start of modern AI in late 2022 we've seen an **_extraordinary_** number of AI applications for accomplishing tasks. There are thousands of websites, chat-bots, mobile apps, and other interfaces for using all the different AI out there.
+
+It's all really exciting and powerful, but _it's not easy to integrate this functionality into our lives._
+
+<div class="align center">
+<h4>In other words, AI doesn't have a capabilities problem—it has an <em>integration</em> problem.</h4>
+</div>
+
+**Fabric was created to address this by creating and organizing the fundamental units of AI—the prompts themselves!**
+
+Fabric organizes prompts by real-world task, allowing people to create, collect, and organize their most important AI solutions in a single place for use in their favorite tools. And if you're command-line focused, you can use Fabric itself as the interface!
+

 ## Updates
 
-> [!NOTE]
->
->June 17, 2025
->
->- Fabric now supports Perplexity AI. Configure it by using `fabric -S` to add your Perlexity AI API Key,
->   and then try:
->
->   ```bash
->   fabric -m sonar-pro "What is the latest world news?"
->   ```
->
->June 11, 2025
->
->- Fabric's YouTube transcription now needs `yt-dlp` to be installed. Make sure to install the latest
-> version (2025.06.09 as of this note). The YouTube API key is only needed for comments (the `--comments` flag)
-> and metadata extraction (the `--metadata` flag).
+Fabric is evolving rapidly.

 You may want to use Fabric to create your own custom Patterns—but not share them with others. No problem!
 
-Just make a directory in `~/.config/custompatterns/` (or wherever) and put your `.md` files in there.
+Fabric now supports a dedicated custom patterns directory that keeps your personal patterns separate from the built-in ones. This means your custom patterns won't be overwritten when you update Fabric's built-in patterns.
 
-When you're ready to use them, copy them into `~/.config/fabric/patterns/`
+### Setting Up Custom Patterns
 
-You can then use them like any other Patterns, but they won't be public unless you explicitly submit them as Pull Requests to the Fabric project. So don't worry—they're private to you.
+1. Run the Fabric setup:
+
+   ```bash
+   fabric --setup
+   ```
+
+2. Select the "Custom Patterns" option from the Tools menu and enter your desired directory path (e.g., `~/my-custom-patterns`)
+
+3. Fabric will automatically create the directory if it does not exist.
+
+### Using Custom Patterns
+
+1. Create your custom pattern directory structure:
+
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p ~/my-custom-patterns/my-analyzer
+   ```
+
+2. Create your pattern file
+
+   ```bash
+   echo "You are an expert analyzer of ..." > ~/my-custom-patterns/my-analyzer/system.md
+   ```
+
+3. **Use your custom pattern:**
+
+   ```bash
+   fabric --pattern my-analyzer "analyze this text"
+   ```
+
+### How It Works
+
+- **Priority System**: Custom patterns take precedence over built-in patterns with the same name
+- **Seamless Integration**: Custom patterns appear in `fabric --listpatterns` alongside built-in ones
+- **Update Safe**: Your custom patterns are never affected by `fabric --updatepatterns`
+- **Private by Default**: Custom patterns remain private unless you explicitly share them
+
+Your custom patterns are completely private and won't be affected by Fabric updates!

+# Product Requirements Document: Changelog Generator
+
+## Overview
+
+The Changelog Generator is a high-performance Go tool that automatically generates comprehensive changelogs from git history and GitHub pull requests.
+
+## Goals
+
+1. **Performance**: Very fast. Efficient enough to be used in CI/CD as part of release process.
+2. **Completeness**: Capture ALL commits including unreleased changes
+3. **Efficiency**: Minimize API calls through caching and batch operations
+4. **Reliability**: Handle errors gracefully with proper Go error handling
+5. **Simplicity**: Single binary with no runtime dependencies
+
+## Key Features
+
+### 1. One-Pass Git History Algorithm
+
+- Walk git history once from newest to oldest
+- Start with "Unreleased" bucket for all new commits
+- Switch buckets when encountering version commits
+- No need to calculate ranges between versions
+
+### 2. Native Library Integration
+
+- **go-git**: Pure Go git implementation (no git binary required)
+- **go-github**: Official GitHub Go client library
+- Benefits: Type safety, better error handling, no subprocess overhead
+
+### 3. Smart Caching System
+
+- SQLite-based persistent cache
+- Stores: versions, commits, PR details, last processed commit
+- Enables incremental updates on subsequent runs
+- Instant changelog regeneration from cache
+
+### 4. Concurrent Processing
+
+- Parallel GitHub API calls (up to 10 concurrent)
+- Batch PR fetching with deduplication
+- Rate limiting awareness
+
+### 5. Enhanced Output
+
+- "Unreleased" section for commits since last version
+- Clean markdown formatting
+- Configurable version limiting
+- Direct commit tracking (non-PR commits)
+
+## Technical Architecture
+
+### Module Structure
+
+```text
+cmd/generate_changelog/
+├── main.go              # CLI entry point with cobra
+├── internal/
+│   ├── git/            # Git operations (go-git)
+│   ├── github/         # GitHub API client (go-github)
+│   ├── cache/          # SQLite caching layer
+│   ├── changelog/      # Core generation logic
+│   └── config/         # Configuration management
+└── changelog.db        # SQLite cache (generated)
+```
+
+### Data Flow
+
+1. Git walker collects all commits in one pass
+2. Commits bucketed by version (starting with "Unreleased")
+3. PR numbers extracted from merge commits
+4. GitHub API batch-fetches PR details
+5. Cache stores everything for future runs
+6. Formatter generates markdown output
+
+### Cache Schema
+
+- **metadata**: Last processed commit SHA
+- **versions**: Version names, dates, commit SHAs
+- **commits**: Full commit details with version associations
+- **pull_requests**: PR details including commits
+- Indexes on version and PR number for fast lookups
+
+### Features
+
+- **Unreleased section**: Shows all new commits
+- **Better caching**: SQLite vs JSON, incremental updates
+- **Smarter deduplication**: Removes consecutive duplicate commits
+- **Direct commit tracking**: Shows non-PR commits
+
+### Reliability
+
+- **No subprocess errors**: Direct library usage
+- **Type safety**: Compile-time checking
+- **Better error handling**: Go's explicit error returns
+
+### Deployment
+
+- **Single binary**: No Python/pip/dependencies
+- **Cross-platform**: Compile for any OS/architecture
+- **No git CLI required**: Uses go-git library
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+- `GITHUB_TOKEN`: GitHub API authentication token
+
+### Command Line Flags
+
+- `--repo, -r`: Repository path (default: current directory)
+- `--output, -o`: Output file (default: stdout)
+- `--limit, -l`: Version limit (default: all)
+- `--version, -v`: Target specific version
+- `--save-data`: Export debug JSON
+- `--cache`: Cache file location
+- `--no-cache`: Disable caching
+- `--rebuild-cache`: Force cache rebuild
+- `--token`: GitHub token override
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+1. **Performance**: Generate full changelog in <5 seconds for fabric repo
+2. **Completeness**: 100% commit coverage including unreleased
+3. **Accuracy**: Correct PR associations and change extraction
+4. **Reliability**: Handle network failures gracefully
+5. **Usability**: Simple CLI with sensible defaults
+

+
+# Or pass directly
+generate_changelog --token your_token_here
+```
+
+### AI-enhanced summaries
+
+```bash
+# Enable AI summaries using Fabric
+generate_changelog --ai-summarize
+
+# Use custom model for AI summaries
+FABRIC_CHANGELOG_SUMMARIZE_MODEL=claude-opus-4 generate_changelog --ai-summarize
+```
+
+### Cache management
+
+```bash
+# Rebuild cache from scratch
+generate_changelog --rebuild-cache
+
+# Force a full PR sync from GitHub
+generate_changelog --force-pr-sync
+
+# Disable cache usage
+generate_changelog --no-cache
+
+# Use custom cache location
+generate_changelog --cache /path/to/cache.db
+```
+
+## Command Line Options
+
+| Flag | Short | Description | Default |
+|------|-------|-------------|---------|
+| `--repo` | `-r` | Repository path | `.` (current directory) |
+| `--output` | `-o` | Output file | stdout |
+| `--limit` | `-l` | Limit number of versions | 0 (all) |
+| `--version` | `-v` | Generate for specific version | |
+| `--save-data` | | Save version data to JSON | false |
+| `--cache` | | Cache database file | `./cmd/generate_changelog/changelog.db` |
+| `--no-cache` | | Disable cache usage | false |
+| `--rebuild-cache` | | Rebuild cache from scratch | false |
+| `--force-pr-sync` | | Force a full PR sync from GitHub | false |
+| `--token` | | GitHub API token | `$GITHUB_TOKEN` |
+| `--ai-summarize` | | Generate AI-enhanced summaries using Fabric | false |
+
+## Output Format
+
+The generated changelog follows this structure:
+
+```markdown
+# Changelog
+
+## Unreleased
+
+### PR [#1601](url) by [author](profile): PR Title
+- Change description 1
+- Change description 2
+
+### Direct commits
+- Direct commit message 1
+- Direct commit message 2
+
+## v1.4.244 (2025-07-09)
+
+### PR [#1598](url) by [author](profile): PR Title
+- Change description
+...
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **Git History Walking**: The tool walks through your git history from newest to oldest commits
+2. **Version Detection**: Identifies version bump commits (pattern: "Update version to vX.Y.Z")
+3. **PR Extraction**: Detects merge commits and extracts PR numbers
+4. **GitHub API Calls**: Fetches detailed PR information in parallel batches
+5. **Change Extraction**: Extracts changes from PR commit messages or PR body
+6. **Formatting**: Generates clean, organized markdown output
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Native Go libraries**: Uses go-git and go-github for maximum performance
+- **Concurrent API calls**: Processes up to 10 GitHub API requests in parallel
+- **Smart caching**: SQLite cache eliminates redundant API calls
+- **Incremental updates**: Only processes new commits on subsequent runs
+- **GraphQL optimization**: Uses GitHub GraphQL API to fetch all PR data in ~5-10 calls
+- **AI-powered summaries**: Optional Fabric integration with intelligent caching
+- **Content-based change detection**: AI summaries only regenerated when content changes
+- **Lightning-fast git operations**: SHA→PR mapping stored in database for instant lookups
+
+### Major Optimization: GraphQL + Advanced Caching
+
+The tool has been optimized to drastically reduce GitHub API calls and improve performance:
+
+**Previous approach**: Individual API calls for each PR (2 API calls per PR)
+
+- For a repo with 500 PRs: 1,000 API calls
+
+**Current approach**: GraphQL batch fetching with intelligent caching
+
+- For a repo with 500 PRs: ~5-10 GraphQL calls (initial fetch) + 0 calls (subsequent runs with cache)
+- **99%+ reduction in API calls after initial run!**
+
+The optimization includes:
+
+1. **GraphQL Batch Fetch**: Uses GitHub's GraphQL API to fetch all merged PRs with commits in minimal calls
+2. **Smart Caching**: Stores complete PR data, commits, and SHA mappings in SQLite
+3. **Incremental Sync**: Only fetches PRs merged after the last sync timestamp
+4. **Automatic Refresh**: PRs are synced every 24 hours or when missing PRs are detected
+5. **AI Summary Caching**: Content-based change detection prevents unnecessary AI regeneration
+6. **Fallback Support**: If GraphQL fails, falls back to REST API batch fetching
+7. **Lightning Git Operations**: Pre-computed SHA→PR mappings for instant commit association
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Go 1.24+ (for installation from source)
+- Git repository
+- GitHub token (optional, for private repos or higher rate limits)
+- Fabric CLI (optional, for AI-enhanced summaries)
+
+## Authentication
+
+The tool supports GitHub authentication via:
+
+1. Environment variable: `export GITHUB_TOKEN=your_token`
+2. Command line flag: `--token your_token`
+3. `.env` file in the same directory as the binary
+
+### Environment File Support
+
+Create a `.env` file next to the `generate_changelog` binary:
+
+```bash
+GITHUB_TOKEN=your_github_token_here
+FABRIC_CHANGELOG_SUMMARIZE_MODEL=claude-sonnet-4-20250514
+```
+
+The tool automatically loads `.env` files for convenient configuration management.
+
+Without authentication, the tool is limited to 60 GitHub API requests per hour.
+
+## Caching
+
+The SQLite cache stores:
+
+- Version information and commit associations
+- Pull request details (title, body, commits, authors)
+- Last processed commit SHA for incremental updates
+- Last PR sync timestamp for intelligent refresh
+- AI summaries with content-based change detection
+- SHA→PR mappings for lightning-fast git operations
+
+Cache benefits:
+
+- Instant changelog regeneration
+- Drastically reduced GitHub API usage (99%+ reduction after initial run)
+- Offline changelog generation (after initial cache build)
+- Automatic PR data refresh every 24 hours
+- Batch database transactions for better performance
+- Content-aware AI summary regeneration
+
+## AI-Enhanced Summaries
+
+The tool can generate AI-powered summaries using Fabric for more polished, professional changelogs:
+
+```bash
+# Enable AI summarization
+generate_changelog --ai-summarize
+
+# Custom model (default: claude-sonnet-4-20250514)
+FABRIC_CHANGELOG_SUMMARIZE_MODEL=claude-opus-4 generate_changelog --ai-summarize
+```
+
+### AI Summary Features
+
+- **Content-based change detection**: AI summaries are only regenerated when version content changes
+- **Intelligent caching**: Preserves existing summaries and only processes changed versions
+- **Content hash comparison**: Uses SHA256 hashing to detect when "Unreleased" content changes
+- **Automatic fallback**: Falls back to raw content if AI processing fails
+- **Error detection**: Identifies and handles AI processing errors gracefully
+- **Minimum content filtering**: Skips AI processing for very brief content (< 256 characters)
+
+### AI Model Configuration
+
+Set the model via environment variable:
+
+```bash
+export FABRIC_CHANGELOG_SUMMARIZE_MODEL=claude-opus-4
+# or
+export FABRIC_CHANGELOG_SUMMARIZE_MODEL=gpt-4
+```
+
+AI summaries are cached and only regenerated when:
+
+- Version content changes (detected via hash comparison)
+- No existing AI summary exists for the version
+- Force rebuild is requested

+You are an expert Technical Writer specializing in creating clear, concise,
+and professional release notes from raw Git commit logs.
+
+# TASK
+Your goal is to transform a provided block of Git commit logs into a clean,
+human-readable changelog summary. You will identify the most important changes,
+format them as a bulleted list, and preserve the associated Pull Request (PR)
+information.
+
+# INSTRUCTIONS:
+Follow these steps in order:
+1. Deeply analyze the input. You will be given a block of text containing PR
+   information and commit log messages. Carefully read through the logs
+   to identify individual commits and their descriptions.
+2. Identify Key Changes: Focus on commits that represent significant changes,
+   such as new features ("feat"), bug fixes ("fix"), performance improvements ("perf"),
+   or breaking changes ("BREAKING CHANGE").
+3. Select the Top 5: From the identified key changes, select a maximum of the five
+   (5) most impactful ones to include in the summary.
+   If there are five or fewer total changes, include all of them.
+4. Format the Output:
+    - Where you see a PR header, include the PR header verbatim. NO CHANGES.
+	  **This is a critical rule: Do not modify the PR header, as it contains
+	  important links.** What follow the PR header are the related changes.
+	- Do not add any additional text or preamble. Begin directly with the output.
+	- Use bullet points for each key change. Starting each point with a hyphen ("-").
+	- Ensure that the summary is concise and focused on the main changes.
+	- The summary should be in American English (en-US), using proper grammar and punctuation.
+5. If the content is too brief or you do not see any PR headers, return the content as is.

+# IDENTITY
+
+You are a superintelligent expert on content of all forms, with deep understanding of which topics, categories, themes, and tags apply to any piece of content.
+
+# GOAL
+
+Your goal is to output a JSON object called tags, with the following tags applied if the content is significantly about their topic.
+
+- **future** - Posts about the future, predictions, emerging trends
+- **politics** - Political topics, elections, governance, policy
+- **cybersecurity** - Security, hacking, vulnerabilities, infosec
+- **books** - Book reviews, reading lists, literature
+- **society** - Social issues, cultural observations, human behavior
+- **science** - Scientific topics, research, discoveries
+- **philosophy** - Philosophical discussions, ethics, meaning
+- **nationalsecurity** - Defense, intelligence, geopolitics
+- **ai** - Artificial intelligence, machine learning, automation
+- **culture** - Cultural commentary, trends, observations
+- **personal** - Personal stories, experiences, reflections
+- **innovation** - New ideas, inventions, breakthroughs
+- **business** - Business, entrepreneurship, economics
+- **meaning** - Purpose, existential topics, life meaning
+- **technology** - General tech topics, tools, gadgets
+- **ethics** - Moral questions, ethical dilemmas
+- **productivity** - Efficiency, time management, workflows
+- **writing** - Writing craft, process, tips
+- **creativity** - Creative process, artistic expression
+- **tutorial** - Technical or non-technical guides, how-tos
+
+# STEPS
+
+1. Deeply understand the content and its themes and categories and topics.
+2. Evaluate the list of tags above.
+3. Determine which tags apply to the content.
+4. Output the "tags" JSON object.
+
+# NOTES
+
+- It's ok, and quite normal, for multiple tags to apply—which is why this is tags and not categories
+- All AI posts should have the technology tag, and that's ok. But not all technology posts are about AI, and therefore the AI tag needs to be evaluated separately. That goes for all potentially nested or conflicted tags.
+- Be a bit conservative in applying tags. If a piece of content is only tangentially related to a tag, don't include it.
+
+# OUTPUT INSTRUCTIONS
+
+- Output ONLY the JSON object, and nothing else. 
+
+- That means DO NOT OUTPUT the ```json format indicator. ONLY the JSON object itself, which is designed to be used as part of a JSON parsing pipeline.
