  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by a5c-ai on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Spec Execution AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/a5c-ai/babysitter.git /tmp/babysitter
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/babysitter/library/methodologies/claudekit/skills/spec-execution .claude/skills/spec-execution
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Spec Execution in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Spec Execution on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Spec Execution is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

  • Read specification for requirements and architecture
  • Implement each requirement following project conventions
  • Add type definitions and JSDoc documentation
  • Implement error handling for all failure modes

Phase 2: Test Writing

  • Write unit tests for each module/function
  • Write integration tests for API boundaries
  • Cover all acceptance criteria from the specification
  • Test edge cases and error paths

Phase 3: Code Review

  • Verify all requirements are implemented
  • Check acceptance criteria are tested
  • Review architecture adherence
  • Assess code quality

Phase 4: Iterative Improvement

  • Address review findings
  • Fix failing tests
  • Resolve architecture deviations
  • Re-verify quality (convergence loop, max 3 cycles)

Phase 5: Atomic Commit

  • Group changes into logical atomic commits
  • Descriptive messages following project conventions
  • Separate production, test, and config changes
  • Include specification reference

Phase 6: Progress Tracking

  • Requirement completion percentage
  • Test coverage summary
  • Quality score report
  • Remaining work identification

Quality Gate

Quality threshold defaults to 80. If not met after max improvement cycles, a human breakpoint is triggered for review.

When to Use

  • /spec:execute [file] slash command
  • After spec creation when ready to implement

Processes Used By

  • claudekit-spec-workflow (execute mode)

Frequently asked questions

What does the Spec Execution AI skill do?

6-phase iterative specification execution workflow covering implementation, testing, review, improvement, commit, and progress tracking with quality-gated convergence.

Why use Spec Execution on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Spec Execution is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Spec Execution in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/a5c-ai/babysitter/tree/main/library/methodologies/claudekit/skills/spec-execution. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Spec Execution?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Spec Execution?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Spec Execution with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Spec Execution AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by a5c-ai under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
