Writing shape skill

Writing shape is part of Matt Pocock's engineering skills. Its job is to shape raw material into an article, one paragraph at a time. It runs only when you call it by name; the agent never loads it on its own.

When it runs

Only when you ask for it. The skill turns off automatic loading, so the agent never starts it on its own. This is the description it carries:

Writing, exploit: shape raw material into an article, paragraph by paragraph.

What the instructions cover

The sections of its SKILL.md, in order.

The loop
Grounding
Conversational feel
Pulling from the pile
Format arguments to actually have
Writing rhythm
Out of scope

What ships with it

Besides SKILL.md, the folder carries these. The agent opens them only when a step in the instructions calls for one.
