[Question]: What exactly is a "context" within this software?

[JordanRL]

What is your question?

Normally the "context" in an AI refers to all the messages, including the system prompt, that the model uses to decide what to output. But the use in this project seems to refer to something else. (Similar to how "prompt" has been renamed "pattern" for some inexplicable reason.)

So what is the meaning of this word, how is it used, and what is it for?

I haven't been able to find documentation on fabric context. Can anyone post a link?

I'm trying to run with context with no success this can loop through the contexts dir but I don't know how to fit in the command.

fabric Context loop

Define the path to the contexts directory

CONTEXT_DIR="$HOME/.config/fabric/contexts"

Check if the contexts directory exists

if [ -d "$CONTEXT_DIR" ]; then for context_file in "$CONTEXT_DIR"/*; do # Ensure each item is a file (avoids errors with subdirectories) if [ -f "$context_file" ]; then # Extract the basename without the directory path context_name=$(basename "$context_file") # Create an alias that uses the context name alias "$context_name"="fabric --context $context_name" fi done else echo "Directory $CONTEXT_DIR does not exist." fi

I was looking at #319 and saw the concept of "context" being discussed. It seems that we can use "contexts" to pass some additional info to the model.

Example:

Suppose that I want to make some calculations about purchasing iPhones.

I create a .config/fabric/contexts/iphone.md file with this content:

# Facts
An iPhone 15 costs 1000 euros.
An iPhone 15 Pro costs 1300 euros.

Now, I can use that data (via -C iphone.md) when I call the model:

$ fabric -C iphone.md  "How much should I pay for 2 iPhone 15 Pro's? Answer in one sentence only"
You should pay 2600 euros for 2 iPhone 15 Pro's.

Without the context we will get a generic answer.

$ fabric "How much should I pay for 2 iPhone 15 Pro's? Answer in one sentence only"
The cost for two iPhone 15 Pro models would depend on the storage capacity and any additional options you choose, but as of my last update, it would be around $3,749 to $6,498 USD.
