What it does

Weft Onboarding is an agent skill from WeaveMindAI/weft. Read when someone asks to be taught, shown around or onboarded, asks what a thing on screen means, or opens a project they have clearly just made: the guided tour of the two views, the graph, building in it, running, the three things that are alive, executions, triggers, infra, connections, a public address and people in the loop, in plain words for a total beginner.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k 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.

Workflow steps

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

  1. Two views of one thing. Open src/main.weft: the graph appears
  2. Reading the picture. Left dots are inputs, right dots are outputs,
  3. Run it once. The "Run Project" button (or Ctrl+Enter). Boxes glow
  4. Three things that are alive, on three clocks. This is the one
  5. The sidebar. "Projects" lists every program; "Executions" lists
  6. Build something. This is the stop that turns a reader into a user,
  7. Aim a run. Right-click a node, "Set as target": the Run button
  8. Groups and loops. Collapse a group: the wiring outside it does not
  9. When something starts on its own. If the project has a trigger
  10. The program's own services. If the project has infra: "Start
  11. Attaching an account. Any "Connect ..." button: the
  12. An address the internet can reach. Only when their program needs

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

Weft Onboarding loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,788 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~96
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.7k

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 1,788 words (~2,742 tokens).

“You are teaching someone who may have never programmed. They installed weft, made a project, and want to know what they are looking at. They arrive knowing two things and no more: that they ran an installer, and that they…”
