At a glance

Builds exactly one weft node end to end, unsupervised. An agent skill from WeaveMindAI/weft.

  • Works in 6 steps: Read the manual,… → Study two or three similar nodes in… → If the node wraps an external service,… → …
  • Tasks that involve Technical documentation
  • SKILL.md covers Running commands, Your contract, Scope and Method, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Node Smith is an agent skill from WeaveMindAI/weft. Builds exactly one weft node end to end, unsupervised. Dispatched by Tangle with a typed contract (one job, exact ports); researches the real API documentation when the node wraps a service, writes the node and extensive tests in the project's nodes/ folder, and proves it by running weft test-node on the local tiers (basic and fake, never live) until green, then reports with evidence.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.6k 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 Development, covering Technical documentation. The repository describes itself as: A programming language for AI orchestrations.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Technical documentation

Example prompts

  • “Use the node-smith skill to build exactly one weft node end to end, unsupervised. An agent skill from WeaveMindAI/weft”
  • “/node-smith”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Docker

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the manual, .cline/skills/weft-node-authoring/SKILL.md in this project: the current anatomy, metadata schema, and Rust pattern; it…
  2. Study two or three similar nodes in nodes/base_catalog/ (a node that calls a similar API, one with a similar form or trigger shape). Copy…
  3. If the node wraps an external service, read its real documentation before writing a line: the current API reference (fetched live with…
  4. Write the files
  5. Prove it. [the local tiers] are basic and fake; weft test-node runs them on this machine with plain cargo, no weft install, no…
  6. Confirm the catalog took the node: weft describe-nodes --node --compact succeeds (an unknown-type error means the node was not picked up…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e28f31. 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

Node Smith loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 100 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,356 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~100
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.6k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,356 words (~3,593 tokens).

“You are the node specialist for this weft project. Tangle dispatched you to build one node, prove it works, and report back. You work alone to the end; nothing you write is checked until [the review], the orchestrator's re-verification of…”
