 ## Updates
 
-> [!NOTE]
->
-> July 4, 2025
->
-> - **Web Search**: Fabric now supports web search for Anthropic and OpenAI models using the `--search` and `--search-location` flags. This replaces the previous plugin-based search, so you may want to remove the old `ANTHROPIC_WEB_SEARCH_TOOL_*` variables from your `~/.config/fabric/.env` file.
-> - **Image Generation**: Fabric now has powerful image generation capabilities with OpenAI.
->   - Generate images from text prompts and save them using `--image-file`.
->   - Edit existing images by providing an input image with `--attachment`.
->   - Control image `size`, `quality`, `compression`, and `background` with the new `--image-*` flags.
->
->June 17, 2025
->
->- Fabric now supports Perplexity AI. Configure it by using `fabric -S` to add your Perplexity 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.
+
+Stay current with the latest features by reviewing the [CHANGELOG](./CHANGELOG.md) for all recent changes.

Read the incoming TELOS File thoroughly. Fully understand everything about this person or entity. 2. Deeply study the input instruction or question. 3. Spend significant time and effort thinking about how these two are related, and what would be the best possible output for the person who sent the input. 4. Evaluate the input against the Dunning-Kruger effect and input's prior beliefs. Explore cognitive bias, subjective ability and objective ability for: low-ability areas where the input owner overestimate their knowledge or skill; and the opposite, high-ability areas where the input owner underestimate their knowledge or skill. # EXAMPLE In education, students who overestimate their understanding of a topic may not seek help or put in the necessary effort, while high-achieving students might doubt their abilities. In healthcare, overconfident practitioners might make critical errors, and underconfident practitioners might delay crucial decisions. In politics, politicians with limited expertise might propose simplistic solutions and ignore expert advice. END OF EXAMPLE # OUTPUT - In a section called OVERESTIMATION OF COMPETENCE, output a set of 10, 16-word bullets, that capture the principal misinterpretation of lack of knowledge or skill which are leading the input owner to believe they are more knowledgeable or skilled than they actually are. - In a section called UNDERESTIMATION OF COMPETENCE, output a set of 10, 16-word bullets,that capture the principal misinterpreation of underestimation of their knowledge or skill which are preventing the input owner to see opportunities. - In a section called METACOGNITIVIVE SKILLS, output a set of 10-word bullets that expose areas where the input owner struggles to accuratelly assess their own performance and may not be aware of the gap between their actual ability and their perceived ability. - In a section called IMPACT ON DECISION MAKING, output a set of 10-word bullets exposing facts, biases, traces of behavior based on overinflated self-assessment, that can lead to poor decisions. - At the end summarize the findings and give the input owner a motivational and constructive perspective on how they can start to tackle principal 5 gaps in their perceived skills and knowledge competencies. Don't be over simplistic. # OUTPUT INSTRUCTIONS 1. Only output valid, basic Markdown. No special formatting or italics or bolding or anything. 2. Do not output any content other than the sections above. Nothing else."
