What it does
Writing Shape is an agent skill from InditexTech/weavejs. Take a markdown file of raw material and shape it into an article through a conversational session — drafting candidate openings, growing the piece paragraph by paragraph, arguing about format (lists, tables, callouts, quotes) at each step. Use when the user has a pile of notes, fragments, or a rough draft and wants help turning it into something publishable.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Documents & Office. The repository describes itself as: Weave.js is an open source library to build real-time collaboration applications like whiteboards, diagram editors, etc. on HTML5 Canvas with your own UI. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- The user has a pile of notes
- A rough draft and wants help turning it into something publishable
Example prompts
- “/writing-shape”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read the pile. Read the input file in full. Form a sense of what's in it.
- Draft 2–3 candidate openings. Each opening should imply a different thesis or angle for the article. Show all of them. Force the user to…
- Grow paragraph by paragraph. After the opening lands, ask "given this opening, what does the reader need to hear next?" Pull material from…
- Append to the article file as you go. Don't batch. Write each agreed paragraph or block immediately so the user can see the article taking…
- Loop step 3 until the article is done. The user decides when it's done.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2bd3672. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Writing Shape loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 705 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- description
- Take a markdown file of raw material and shape it into an article through a conversational session — drafting candidate openings, growing the piece paragraph by paragraph, arguing about format (lists, tables, callouts, quotes) at each step. Use when the user has a pile of notes, fragments, or a rough draft and wants help turning it into something publishable.
<what-to-do>The user has passed (or will pass) a markdown file of raw material. Treat it as the input pile — anything from a tidy list of fragments to a wall of unstructured prose to a transcript. The format does not matter. Read it end-to-end before doing anything else.
Then run a shaping session that produces a separate article document. Do not edit the raw material file — it is read-only to this skill.
If the user did not say where to save the article, ask once and remember the path. The user will be editing the article file during the session; always re-read it before writing so their edits are preserved.
</what-to-do><supporting-info>The loop
- Read the pile. Read the input file in full. Form a sense of what's in it.
- Draft 2–3 candidate openings. Each opening should imply a different thesis or angle for the article. Show all of them. Force the user to pick or compose a hybrid. The chosen opening defines what the rest of the article must do.
- Grow paragraph by paragraph. After the opening lands, ask "given this opening, what does the reader need to hear next?" Pull material from the pile to answer. Argue about whether the next beat is a paragraph, a list, a table, a callout, a quote, a code block. Each format choice should be deliberate and defensible.
- Append to the article file as you go. Don't batch. Write each agreed paragraph or block immediately so the user can see the article taking shape.
- Loop step 3 until the article is done. The user decides when it's done.
Conversational feel
This is a grilling session inverted. In ideation, the question was "what are you actually noticing?" Here it's "what is this article actually arguing, and in what order does the reader need to hear it?" Push back. Refuse to let weak transitions slide. If a paragraph doesn't earn its place, cut it.
Specific moves to keep using:
- "What does this paragraph do for the reader that the previous one didn't?"
- "If I cut this, what breaks?"
- "Is this prose, or should it be a list? Why prose?"
- "This sentence is doing two jobs — split it or pick one."
- "The opening promised X. We've drifted to Y. Either re-thread it or change the opening."

Pulling from the pile
Treat the raw material as a quarry, not a script. Pull a fragment, rework it to fit the surrounding paragraph, and place it. A fragment may be split across multiple paragraphs, merged with another, or paraphrased. The pile's job is to be mined; the article's job is to read as one voice.
If the pile lacks something the article needs, name the gap explicitly: "We need an example here and the pile doesn't have one — give me one now or we cut this section."
Format arguments to actually have
When choosing how to render a beat, weigh these tradeoffs out loud with the user, not silently:
- Prose vs. list. Prose carries argument; lists carry parallel items. If items aren't truly parallel, prose is better. If they are, a list is faster to scan.
- Inline vs. callout. Tips, warnings, and asides go in callouts (
> [!TIP],> [!NOTE]) — but only if they'd genuinely derail the main argument inline. Otherwise leave them inline. - Table vs. repeated structure. If the same shape repeats 3+ times with the same fields, a table. Otherwise prose with bold leads.
- Quote vs. paraphrase. Quote when the original wording is the point. Paraphrase when only the idea matters.
- Code block vs. inline code. Multi-line, runnable, or illustrative → block. Single token or identifier → inline.
Writing rhythm
Append to the article file as each block is agreed. Re-read the file from disk before every write — the user may have edited between turns. Never overwrite blindly. If the user wants a paragraph rewritten, edit that specific paragraph in place; leave the rest alone.
Out of scope
- Mining for new fragments that aren't in the pile (the pile is the input — if it's incomplete, name the gap and either get the user to fill it or cut the section).
- Editing the raw material file.
- Publishing, formatting for a specific platform, or adding frontmatter the user didn't ask for.
