What it does

Weft Running is an agent skill from WeaveMindAI/weft. Read when running or activating a program: the CLI command map, the daemon (never yours to restart), running a command so it never asks and never sits quiet (with how long each normally takes), the build and run flow, trigger activation and the three deactivate modes, the infra lifecycle, and what each kind of trigger does across a restart. A run that failed or did the wrong thing is the weft-debugging skill.

Its SKILL.md is about 7.7k 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. The repository describes itself as: A programming language for AI orchestrations.

When your agent uses it

  • Activation and the three deactivate modes
  • The infra lifecycle
  • What each kind of trigger does across a restart

Example prompts

  • “/weft-running”

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:

    • curl
    • pnpm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl and pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • DATABASE_PASSWORD

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Weft Running loads about 7.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 4,975 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~106
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~7.7k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:18
    d keys before, so you never run them. A `.env`

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 4,975 words (~7,743 tokens).

“The weft CLI is a thin client of [the daemon] plus the front end for building. [the daemon] is the dispatcher process that owns projects, executions, triggers, and infra. It listens on http://127.0.0.1:14111 unless the user started it on another…”
