I keep a large Obsidian vault full of personal ideas, notes, technical findings, and project archives.
Recently, I discovered a curated set of 221 Fabric prompt templates, just a small portion of what the Fabric framework offers.
But instead of manually checking every single one (it would take hours!), I asked AI to help me choose the patterns that would give me the maximum value for my specific workflow.
My Prompt to the AI:
I have attached a file with many AI tools. Which ones do you think would be useful for me? Which ones can I use in this vault? Please rank your selections in a table format with columns for: highest usefulness potential, uniqueness, and a few other criteria you choose.
I used Claude Code for this step, and it identified the prompts most aligned with how I take notes, learn, write, and generate ideas.
