Shape your drafts paragraph by paragraph, with every format choice argued out loud.
- What
- Shape your drafts paragraph by paragraph, with every format choice argued out loud.
- Cost
- Free
- Needs
- None — just paste the prompt into a Muse conversation.
- Install
- Copy the installer prompt below into your Muse — your agent does the rest.
Give Muse your raw material and it shapes it into an article paragraph by paragraph: it first drafts two or three candidate openings with different angles, you pick (or blend) one, then the piece grows block by block, with Muse arguing out loud whether each block should be prose, a list, a table, or a quote. Every transition has to earn its place, and weak paragraphs get cut without mercy. Discovered via skills.sh. Beta note: this skill lives in the author's experimental in-progress folder, so treat it as a promising beta. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use. Not verified.

Install
Prerequisites: None — just paste the prompt into a Muse conversation. Install "Writing Shape Skill for Muse" for me. Give Muse raw material and it shapes it into an article paragraph by paragraph, arguing each format choice out loud and cutting anything that doesn't earn its place. Repository: https://github.com/mattpocock/skills/blob/main/skills/in-progress/writing-shape/SKILL.md 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file from the repository path into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "writing-shape". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself. GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
