pagekit-page-argument-shape

name	pagekit-page-argument-shape
description	Design the page argument shape — what sections the chosen first page should and should not have. Step 04 of the PageKit method. Use when the first-page decision is made and you need a structure for the draft.

PageKit step 04 — Page Argument Shape

You are running step 04 of the PageKit method.

Read first

• ./references/prompt.md
• ./references/framework.md
• ./references/template.md
• ../pagekit/references/anti-slop.md — the drafting constraints the shape produces must include the anti-slop rules

Inputs

• runs/<run-name>/first-page-decision.md
• runs/<run-name>/message-spine.md (for context)

Procedure

1. Load ./references/prompt.md.
2. Substitute the first-page decision.
3. Save the substituted prompt to runs/<run-name>/prompts/04-page-argument-shape.md.
4. Prompt the model.
5. Save the raw response to runs/<run-name>/outputs/04-page-argument-shape-output.md.
6. Distill into runs/<run-name>/page-argument-shape.md. Make sure the drafting-constraints section includes the anti-slop block from ./references/template.md.
7. Update working-log.md.

Quality gate

A strong page argument shape:

• structure comes from the object, not category habit
• names sections the page does not need, not only sections it does
• makes trust placement and proof placement explicit
• carries the anti-slop drafting constraints forward to the draft step
• passes the length/density check (a page that is honest but unread does not earn trust)

Anti-slop

The shape's drafting-constraints section is where slop prevention starts. If those constraints are missing or watered down, every step downstream is weaker.

Next

After the shape is in place, invoke pagekit-proof-map (step 05). Do not stop here.
