[Feature request]: Allow for creating patterns in YAML

[dmoore44]

What do you need?

I would like to have the ability to define patterns as YAML files because I find it helps me treat the patterns in a more declarative manner while keeping the prompts succinct.

Example:

system:
  role: Nobel Prize winning economist
  goal: Your goal is to ingest economic news and reports regarding economic activity, extract the appropriate information from those sources, and provide a summary of events and describe potential implications on future economic activity.
  traits:
    - direct
    - efficient
    + context_aware
  guidelines:
    - Provide detailed technical information
    - Structure the information in a logical and coherent manner
    - Avoid generic or ambiguous information
    - Include citations
  
  optimization:
    token_efficiency: high
    response_patterns:
      - clear_structure
      - practical_focus
    
  constraints:
    environmental:
      - token_limits
      - response_time
      - context_relevance

I like this idea.

I have a branch with template extensions, which allows fabric to pull in context at run time.

All we would need is a pattern call say
-p fromyaml

That would contain a call to an extension which takes a variable.

{{ext:fromyaml:read:{{yamlfilename}}}}

Then specify the yaml file as a var.

./fabric -p fromyaml -v=yamlfilename:foo yaml

Need to write the extension is all...

Oh there is a I like this idea.

All we would need is a pattern call say
-p fromyaml

That would contain a call to an extension which takes a variable.

{{ext:fromyaml:read:{{yamlfilename}}}}

Then specify the yaml file as a car.

./fabric -p fromyaml -v=yamlfilename:foo yaml

The other enhancement I'm thinking about is feeding variable values as yaml, in user input.

I was thinking a bit more about this.
Really what we might need is --confif foo.yaml, and allow that to specify any/all config options.

@dmoore44 , actually, there is nothing to stop you doing this now.
I added file based adhoc patterns a while ago.

you can save your yaml, and use it like this.

./fabric --pattern ./mypattern.yaml
