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 Anil-matcha on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Ideogram 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/Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors/tree/main/connectors/ideogram
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/Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors.git /tmp/awesome-muse-connectors
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/awesome-muse-connectors/connectors/ideogram .claude/skills/ideogram

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Ideogram 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 Ideogram 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 Ideogram 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.

Ideogram

Purpose

Generate images with Ideogram's v3 API: the strongest option in the catalog for text-in-image rendering (thumbnails and carousels with real words), plus Magic Fill editing and style remix, with upscaling and image description on the same key. Use when Michael needs images that contain legible text.

Tooling

All commands go through bin/ideogram.py (multipart form posts):

bash
bin/ideogram.py auth                                                      # verify the API key (free balance read)
bin/ideogram.py balance                                                   # read billing balance (free)
bin/ideogram.py generate --prompt "retro poster that says SUMMER" --json '{"aspect_ratio": "16x9"}'
bin/ideogram.py edit --prompt "replace the sign with OPEN" --image ./sign.png     # Magic Fill edit
bin/ideogram.py remix --prompt "same scene, watercolor style" --image ./scene.png # style transfer
bin/ideogram.py upscale --image ./small.png                               # upscale
bin/ideogram.py describe --image ./photo.png                              # describe an image

generate returns image URLs in the response. Ideogram is SYNCHRONOUS (no job polling), which makes it the simplest image integration in the catalog.

Auth

Provider id: ideogram (credential is collected as custom.ideogram)
Collection: API key via the secure credential flow (credentials.request_api_access); created in the Ideogram developer dashboard
Allowed hosts: api.ideogram.ai
Status check: bin/ideogram.py auth (must return "ok": true). The key is sent as the Api-Key header. HEADER NOTE: the research dossier documented "header auth" without naming the header; Api-Key is per Ideogram's published API docs. Verify against developer.ideogram.ai on first live use and correct bin/ideogram.py if it differs.

Operating Rules

Every generation/edit/remix/upscale spends balance (~$0.05-0.08/image by model/speed tier). Confirm with Michael before each one.
COST WARNING: Ideogram billing auto-tops-up: it refills to $20 when the balance drops below $10 (configurable). Read balance first so top-ups never surprise anyone.
Image URLs expire. Download immediately after generation; never store the URL as the artifact.
Default rate limit is 10 in-flight requests. Do not fan out more than that.
Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/ideogram.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the key value.

Maturity

🧪 Draft: written from Ideogram's published OpenAPI 3.1 spec via the research dossier; not yet live-tested end-to-end. The Api-Key header name and the /api/v1/billing path need a live check on first use.

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 Ideogram AI skill do?

Why use Ideogram on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors/tree/main/connectors/ideogram. 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 Ideogram?

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 Ideogram?

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

Is the Ideogram AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Anil-matcha 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.
