  • 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.

  • 7 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by adobe on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Aem Replication 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.
    https://github.com/adobe/skills/tree/main/plugins/aem/6.5-lts/skills/aem-replication
  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.

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/adobe/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/plugins/aem/6.5-lts/skills/aem-replication .claude/skills/aem-replication
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Aem Replication 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 Aem Replication 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 Aem Replication 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.

How to Use

  1. Match the user's request to one row in the Intent Router table above.
  2. Read the linked SKILL.md for that specialist skill.
  3. Follow the workflow and guidance defined in that skill.
  4. For complex scenarios spanning multiple skills (e.g., configure agent then troubleshoot), start with the primary intent and cross-reference as needed.

Skill Overview

Configure Replication Agent

Set up and configure replication agents for:

  • Default agents: Author to Publish content distribution
  • Dispatcher Flush agents: Cache invalidation
  • Reverse replication: Publish to Author user-generated content flow
  • Multiple publish instances: Load balancing and high availability

When to use: First-time setup, adding new publish instances, reconfiguring agents

Replicate Content

Activate and deactivate content through:

  • Quick Publish: Simple one-click activation
  • Manage Publication: Advanced scheduling and approval workflows
  • Tree Activation: Hierarchical bulk publishing
  • Package Manager: Specific content set distribution
  • Workflows: Approval-based publishing
  • Scheduled Activation: Time-based content publishing

When to use: Publishing pages, assets, or DAM content; unpublishing content

Replication API

Programmatic replication using official AEM 6.5 LTS public APIs:

  • Replicator interface: Core replication methods
  • ReplicationOptions: Configure synchronous/asynchronous, agent filtering
  • ReplicationStatus: Query replication state
  • AgentManager, ReplicationQueue, ReplicationListener: Advanced queue management and monitoring

When to use: Custom code integration, bulk operations, workflow process steps, servlets

Troubleshoot Replication

Diagnose and fix common issues:

  • Blocked queues: FIFO queue failures
  • Connection errors: Network, authentication, SSL issues
  • Content not appearing: Dispatcher cache, permissions
  • Agent configuration: URI, credentials, triggers
  • Event queue issues: Stuck replication jobs

When to use: Replication failures, performance issues, content not distributing

Replication Orchestrator

Coordinates end-to-end replication workflows spanning multiple sub-skills:

  • New Environment Setup: Configure agents → Test replication → Troubleshoot
  • Production Incident Response: Diagnose → Fix → Verify
  • Performance Optimization: Monitor → Tune → Validate
  • Migration Preparation: Audit → Plan → Execute

When to use: Multi-step scenarios requiring coordination across configure, replicate, API, and troubleshoot skills

Common Workflows

First-Time Setup

  1. Use Configure Replication Agent to set up default agent
  2. Use Replicate Content to test with a sample page
  3. If issues occur, use Troubleshoot Replication

Production Operations

  1. Use Replicate Content for day-to-day publishing
  2. Use Replication API for automated/bulk operations
  3. Use Troubleshoot Replication when issues arise

Advanced Integration

  1. Use Replication API to understand available methods
  2. Use Configure Replication Agent to understand agent configuration
  3. Use Troubleshoot Replication for debugging custom replication code

Foundation References

Shared reference materials used across all replication skills:

Official Documentation

All skills reference official Adobe AEM 6.5 LTS documentation:

  • Dispatcher: Configure Dispatcher Flush agents for cache invalidation

Migration to AEM as a Cloud Service

AEM as a Cloud Service uses the Sling Distribution API instead of replication agents. If planning migration:

  • Review Cloud Service Distribution Documentation
  • For code migration patterns, see skills/aem/cloud-service/skills/best-practices/references/replication.md
  • Avoid agent-specific coupling (filter by agent ID) to reduce migration complexity

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Aem Replication AI skill do?

Single entry point for all AEM 6.5 LTS Replication skills. Covers configuring replication agents, activating/deactivating content, using the Replication API programmatically, and troubleshooting distribution issues for Adobe Experience Manager 6.5 LTS.

Why use Aem Replication on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Aem Replication 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 Aem Replication in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/adobe/skills/tree/main/plugins/aem/6.5-lts/skills/aem-replication. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Aem Replication?

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 Aem Replication?

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

Is the Aem Replication AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by adobe under the Apache-2.0 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.
