  • 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 anthropics on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Registry Browser 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/anthropics/claude-for-legal/tree/main/legal-builder-hub/skills/registry-browser
  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/anthropics/claude-for-legal.git /tmp/claude-for-legal
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-for-legal/legal-builder-hub/skills/registry-browser .claude/skills/registry-browser
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Registry Browser 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 Registry Browser 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 Registry Browser 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.

/registry-browser

  1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-builder-hub/CLAUDE.md → watched registries.
  2. Use the workflow below.
  3. Search each registry. Show matches with descriptions.
  4. Offer to show full SKILL.md for any match.

Purpose

Find skills across the watched registries. Search, preview, decide.

Load context

~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-builder-hub/CLAUDE.md → watched registries list.

Workflow

Step 1: Fetch registry indexes

For each watched registry:

  • GitHub repos: fetch skills/ directory listing and each SKILL.md frontmatter (name + description).
  • Marketplace-style registries: fetch the index.

Cache the index locally (references/registry-cache.json) so browsing is fast. Refresh cache if >7 days old or on request.

Step 2: Search

Match query against skill names and descriptions. Simple keyword match is fine — these are small enough that fuzzy search is overkill.

Also: browse by category if the registry organizes skills that way.

Step 3: Present matches

markdown
## Search: "[query]"

**Found [N] skills across [M] registries:**

### [skill-name]
**From:** [registry name]
**Description:** [from frontmatter]
[View full SKILL.md] [Install]

### [skill-name]
[...]

Step 4: Preview

On "view full SKILL.md": fetch and show the whole file. User reads it before deciding to install. No surprises.

Step 5: Add a registry

If the user has a URL to a registry not in the watchlist:

  1. Fetch it, validate it's a skills repo (has skills/ or .claude-plugin/)
  2. Show what's in it
  3. Add to ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-builder-hub/CLAUDE.md → watched registries on confirmation

Default registries

  • lpm-skills — 14 legal project management skills. Practice-agnostic. Good starting point.
  • Space for others to be added as the ecosystem grows.

What this skill does not do

  • Install anything. It browses. skill-installer installs.
  • Rate or review skills. It shows you the SKILL.md; you judge.
  • Search the whole internet. Only watched registries.

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 Registry Browser AI skill do?

Search watched registries for community legal skills, showing matches with descriptions and offering to show the full SKILL.md before install. Use when the user says "browse", "search skills", "find a skill for", "what's out there for", or wants to add a new registry to the watchlist.

Why use Registry Browser on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/anthropics/claude-for-legal/tree/main/legal-builder-hub/skills/registry-browser. 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 Registry Browser?

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 Registry Browser?

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

Is the Registry Browser AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by anthropics 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.
