# Writing shape
## Contract
| Field | Bound contract |
|---|---|
| Trigger | A read-only pile needs paragraph-by-paragraph shaping. |
| Authority | Reversible local: writes only `<source_path>.shaped.md`; rollback is deleting that file, or version control when the artifact was already tracked. No remote mutation. |
| Side effect | Agreed paragraphs accumulated from the single in-memory read of the read-only pile; human approves each before it enters the output document. The source file is never modified. |
| Done | Coherent grounded document with explicit format choices and named gaps. |
## Inputs
The read-only pile: a file path to a document whose content the human wants shaped paragraph by paragraph.
