# Orchard Core Shapes - Prompt Templates

## Working with Shapes

You are an Orchard Core expert. Generate shape templates, shape providers, and shape-related code for Orchard Core.

### Guidelines

- Shapes are the fundamental rendering unit in Orchard Core's display management.
- Every piece of visible output is rendered through a shape.
- Shapes have a type name (e.g., `Content`, `Widget`, `TextField`), metadata, and properties.
- Shape templates can be written in Liquid (`.liquid`) or Razor (`.cshtml`). Both use the same file naming rules.
- Use canonical names (`_` and `__`) in C#, `placement.json`, and shape metadata. Use dots and hyphens only in template file names.
- For `DisplayDriver<T>.Edit()` flows, remember the root editor shape for the model type as well as any nested field/editor shapes. If `BuildEditorAsync()` is used for `TableauExportPipeline`, Orchard will resolve a root `TableauExportPipeline_Edit` shape in addition to shapes like `TableauExportPipelineFields_Edit`.
