Fabric is an open-source Command-Line Interface (CLI) tool with a configuration language designed to encode and automate content generation for cybersecurity and compliance.

The diagram illustrates a Fabric template and the corresponding rendered document

Fabric generates documents from templates written in Fabric Configuration Language (FCL). The templates are modular and reusable. By including data requirements and content structure definitions in the templates, the template authors can significantly reduce the manual effort of data consolidation and document build-up.

See Tutorial for an introduction to FCL and Fabric.

Fabric templates can include static content, dynamic templates (powered by Go templates) or rely on GenAI for content generation (with openai plugin, for example).

Note

Fabric is currently in the early stages of development, and there may be some issues. If you have any suggestions, ideas, or bug reports, please share them in Fabric Community slack.

Plugins

Fabric supports plugins that offer integrations with various platforms, data stores, and security solutions, including JSON/CSV files, Elastic, OpenCTI, Splunk Cloud, GitHub, and more.

You can find the full list of supported plugins in the documentation.

Templates

You can find open-source templates for CTI, pentesting and SecOps use cases in Fabric Templates repository.
