A setup guide for Fabrik, a tool that manages software work through GitHub Project boards and Claude Code workers. Fabrik breaks work into stages such as research, planning, implementation, review, and validation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when installing Fabrik for the first time, checking required access and tools, and preparing a GitHub repository and Project board.
Why use it?
It helps avoid missing the prerequisites or configuring the project board incorrectly when starting Fabrik. It guides the user through setup instead of performing the steps automatically.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

fabrik-setup scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Bootstrapping Fabrik

This skill guides a user through installing Fabrik and standing it up for the first time in their project. Don't run any of these steps yourself unsolicited — walk the user through them, confirm their environment, and let them execute. Authoritative docs live at https://fabrik.handarbeit.io — link the user there rather than reproducing details that may drift.

Before you start

Confirm the user has — or help them obtain — each of these. Don't proceed past step 0 until prerequisites are in place.

  1. Claude Code CLI installed and authenticated. They almost certainly have this if they're talking to you, but check with claude --version if uncertain.
  2. A GitHub repo and a GitHub Project (v2) board. The board is non-optional — Fabrik is a board orchestrator. If they don't have a Project yet, point them at https://github.com/orgs//projects/new (or the personal equivalent). The board's status column names will need to match the Fabrik stage names later.
  3. A GitHub classic personal access token (ghp_...) with repo, project, and workflow scopes. Fine-grained tokens (github_pat_...) are not supported — GitHub Projects v2 GraphQL requires a classic PAT. Create one at https://github.com/settings/tokens (select "Tokens (classic)").
  4. gh CLI authenticated (gh auth status) — needed for the binary download path and convenient for many Fabrik workflows.
  5. Go 1.26.1+ — only required if they want to build from source instead of downloading a release binary.

If they're missing prerequisites, get them sorted first. Don't paper over a missing PAT with vague instructions; the token type matters and getting it wrong is a common failure mode.

Step 1 — install the binary

Two paths. Strongly prefer the release binary unless the user has a reason to build from source.

Option A — release binary (recommended):

cd ~/bin  # or any directory on PATH
gh release download --repo handarbeit/fabrik \
  --pattern "fabrik_*_$(uname -s | tr A-Z a-z)_$(uname -m | sed 's/x86_64/amd64/' | sed 's/aarch64/arm64/').tar.gz" \
  -O - | tar xz

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
