  • 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.

  • 1 bundled files

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

  • Open source

    Published by alsk1992 on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Presence 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/alsk1992/CloddsBot/tree/main/src/skills/bundled/presence
  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/alsk1992/CloddsBot.git /tmp/CloddsBot
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/CloddsBot/src/skills/bundled/presence .claude/skills/presence
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Presence 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 Presence 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 Presence 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.

TypeScript API Reference

Create Presence Service

typescript
import { createPresenceService } from 'clodds/presence';

const presence = createPresenceService({
  // Update interval
  heartbeatIntervalMs: 30000,

  // Auto-away after idle
  awayAfterMs: 300000,  // 5 minutes

  // Storage
  storage: 'redis',  // 'redis' | 'memory'
  redisUrl: process.env.REDIS_URL,
});

Get Status

typescript
// Get own status
const status = await presence.getStatus(userId);

console.log(`Status: ${status.status}`);  // 'online' | 'away' | 'dnd' | 'offline'
console.log(`Custom: ${status.customStatus}`);
console.log(`Last seen: ${status.lastSeen}`);
console.log(`Device: ${status.activeDevice}`);

// Get multiple users
const statuses = await presence.getStatuses(['user-1', 'user-2', 'user-3']);

Set Status

typescript
// Set status
await presence.setStatus(userId, 'online');
await presence.setStatus(userId, 'away');
await presence.setStatus(userId, 'dnd');
await presence.setStatus(userId, 'offline');

// Set custom status message
await presence.setCustomStatus(userId, 'Trading BTC');

// Clear custom status
await presence.clearCustomStatus(userId);

Activity Tracking

typescript
// Record activity
await presence.recordActivity(userId, {
  type: 'message',
  channelId: 'telegram-123',
  timestamp: Date.now(),
});

// Get recent activity
const activity = await presence.getActivity(userId, {
  limit: 10,
  since: Date.now() - 3600000,  // Last hour
});

for (const event of activity) {
  console.log(`${event.type} at ${event.timestamp}`);
  console.log(`  Channel: ${event.channelId}`);
}

Device Presence

typescript
// Get user's devices
const devices = await presence.getDevices(userId);

for (const device of devices) {
  console.log(`${device.id}: ${device.name}`);
  console.log(`  Status: ${device.status}`);
  console.log(`  Last seen: ${device.lastSeen}`);
  console.log(`  Active: ${device.isActive}`);
}

// Set device status
await presence.setDeviceStatus(userId, deviceId, 'online');

Who's Online

typescript
// Get online users
const online = await presence.getOnlineUsers({
  channelId: 'telegram-123',  // Optional: filter by channel
});

for (const user of online) {
  console.log(`${user.name}: ${user.status}`);
}

Event Handlers

typescript
// Status changes
presence.on('statusChange', (userId, oldStatus, newStatus) => {
  console.log(`${userId}: ${oldStatus} -> ${newStatus}`);
});

// User came online
presence.on('online', (userId) => {
  console.log(`${userId} is now online`);
});

// User went offline
presence.on('offline', (userId) => {
  console.log(`${userId} went offline`);
});

Sync Across Devices

typescript
// Force sync
await presence.sync(userId);

// Get sync status
const syncStatus = await presence.getSyncStatus(userId);
console.log(`Devices synced: ${syncStatus.synced}/${syncStatus.total}`);
console.log(`Last sync: ${syncStatus.lastSync}`);

Status Types

StatusDescription
onlineActive and available
awayIdle/inactive
dndDo not disturb
offlineNot available

Auto-Away

Presence automatically changes to away after inactivity:

typescript
const presence = createPresenceService({
  awayAfterMs: 300000,    // 5 min idle -> away
  offlineAfterMs: 3600000, // 1 hour idle -> offline
});

Multi-Device Sync

When user is active on multiple devices:

  • Most recent activity determines primary device
  • Status syncs across all devices
  • Custom status shared everywhere

Best Practices

  1. Use heartbeats — Keep status accurate
  2. Set away appropriately — Don't spam status changes
  3. Custom status — Let others know what you're doing
  4. Review devices — Keep device list clean
  5. DND for focus — Mute notifications during trades

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 Presence AI skill do?

Online status, activity tracking, and multi-device sync

Why use Presence on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/alsk1992/CloddsBot/tree/main/src/skills/bundled/presence. 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 Presence?

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 Presence?

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

Is the Presence AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by alsk1992 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.
