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 ahmadrosid on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

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

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.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/ahmadrosid/nakama/tree/main/packages/core/src/skills/bundled/manage-skills
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

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/ahmadrosid/nakama.git /tmp/nakama
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/nakama/packages/core/src/skills/bundled/manage-skills .claude/skills/manage-skills

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Manage Skills 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 Manage Skills 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 Manage Skills 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.

Use skills for repeatable procedures and workflows the agent should execute later. Do not use skills for user facts, preferences, or observations; use the update-profile-memory skill for those.

Primary path — skill_manage

When the skill_manage tool is available, use it for all skill create/update/delete work and for supporting files under a skill directory:

Action	When
`install`	Import public GitHub SKILL.md — pass `url`; see `skill-installer` for discovery and limitations
`create`	New reusable workflow — pass full SKILL.md (`content`)
`patch`	Targeted fix — `name`, `old_string`, `new_string` (preferred over rewrite)
`edit`	Full SKILL.md replacement — `name` + `content` (frontmatter name must match)
`delete`	Remove a profile-owned skill — `name`
`write_file`	Supporting file under the skill dir — `name`, `path`, `content`
`remove_file`	Remove a supporting file — `name`, `path`

skill_manage writes under the profile skills directory, validates frontmatter, and auto-assigns the skill so it can match on later turns. Bundled and global skills are read-only. write_file / remove_file refuse SKILL.md and skill-local tools (tool.ts / tool.js).

When write approval is enabled for the org or profile, skill_manage stages changes instead of writing immediately. The tool returns { staged: true, proposalId, … } and an org admin must approve the proposal before the skill goes live. Do not re-submit identical pending proposals; wait for review or ask an admin.

Example create content:

markdown
---
name: skill-name
description: Short trigger description explaining when to use this skill.
include-body-on-match: true
---

Step-by-step instructions for the repeatable workflow.

Use lowercase kebab-case names. Prefer patch for small updates; use edit for full rewrites. Do not create broad or vague skills; avoid storing private user facts.

File tools (secondary)

When skill_manage is present, write_file / edit_file / delete_file cannot write under skills/*/… — they refuse with a redirect to skill_manage. You may still use file tools to inspect skills (read_file, search_files).

If skill_manage is unavailable, do not invent a skill by writing orphan SKILL.md files that will not auto-assign.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Manage Skills AI skill do?

Create, update, inspect, or manage reusable profile skills with skill_manage. Use when the user wants the agent to remember a repeatable workflow, change a skill, or maintain skill instructions.

Why use Manage Skills on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Manage Skills 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 Manage Skills in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/ahmadrosid/nakama/tree/main/packages/core/src/skills/bundled/manage-skills. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Manage Skills?

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 Manage Skills?

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

Is the Manage Skills AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by ahmadrosid 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.
