What it does

Weft Catalog is an agent skill from WeaveMindAI/weft. Read before picking nodes for a job: the three reads that find a node and tell you how it wires, the metadata vocabulary you will meet there, the wiring shapes that recur (a connection, a provider, infrastructure, ports that come from a list), where a project's own nodes live, and what to do when nothing in the catalog fits.

Its SKILL.md is about 3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: A programming language for AI orchestrations.

Example prompts

  • “/weft-catalog”

Workflow steps

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

  1. [the listing], weft describe-nodes --list, through grep. One line per node type: the name, its tags, and what it does. About a hundred and…
  2. [the wiring view], weft describe-nodes --node --compact. One node's resolved ports, their types, what each accepts (a literal in the…
  3. [the metadata file], nodes/**/metadata.json, when the question reaches past wiring: a service recipe, an infra node's images, the exact…

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    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

Weft Catalog loads about 3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,896 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3k

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 1,896 words (~2,999 tokens).

“The catalog is everything under nodes/, and it is the truth about every node: you never quote a port, config key, or feature from memory, you read it. nodes/base_catalog/ is the standard library, a managed copy that weft catalog update…”

Weft Catalog is an agent skill from WeaveMindAI/weft. Read before picking nodes for a job: the three reads that find a node and tell you how it wires, the metadata vocabulary you will meet there, the wiring shapes that recur (a connection, a provider, infrastructure, ports that come from a list), where a project's own nodes live, and what to do when nothing in the catalog fits.

How do I install Weft Catalog in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add WeaveMindAI/weft --skill weft-catalog -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (tangle/cline/.cline/skills/weft-catalog in WeaveMindAI/weft) into .claude/skills/weft-catalog in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
