related-skills-surfacer

Suggest community skills based on recent activity in other plugins. Checks whether the community has built something relevant to a task and mentions it once, non-intrusively. Use when the user says "is there a community skill for this", "what else is out there", or asks for skill recommendations; also runs passively as part of other plugins' workflows.

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

Installation

Install the Related Skills Surfacer 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/anthropics/claude-for-legal/tree/main/legal-builder-hub/skills/related-skills-surfacer
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

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/related-skills-surfacer .claude/skills/related-skills-surfacer

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Related Skills Surfacer 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 Related Skills Surfacer 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 Related Skills Surfacer 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.

/related-skills-surfacer

Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-builder-hub/CLAUDE.md → practice profile.
Use the workflow below.
Check what other plugins have been doing. Match against registry.
Suggest: "You've been doing X — community has a skill for Y that's related."

Purpose

The community might have built the thing you're about to build. This skill notices and mentions it — once, briefly, non-annoyingly.

How it runs

This skill surfaces related community skills after a task. It can be invoked directly by the user ("what else is out there for X?") or wired into other plugins via a Stop hook — the hook-based pattern requires each sibling plugin to declare a Stop hook that calls this skill, which is not wired by default. Without the hook wiring, invoke it directly.

Other plugins can include a light check at the end of a task:

"The legal-builder-hub found a community skill that might help with this kind of thing: [name] — [one-line]. Want to take a look?"

Load context

~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-builder-hub/CLAUDE.md → practice profile, installed skills (don't suggest what's already installed). Registry cache from registry-browser.

The match

Given a task description (what the user was just doing), find registry skills that match:

Keyword overlap between the task and skill descriptions
Practice profile fit (don't suggest litigation skills to a transactional lawyer)
Not already installed

Threshold: Only surface if the match is strong. Weak matches are noise. Better to surface nothing than to annoy.

Output

If strong match:

💡 The community has a skill for this: [name] from [registry] — "[description]". /legal-builder-hub:skill-installer [name] to try it.

If no strong match: silent. No output. Don't announce "I found nothing."

Frequency limit

Don't surface the same skill twice. If the user didn't install it the first time, they saw it and decided no. Track dismissals in references/surfaced.json.

User control

Per ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-builder-hub/CLAUDE.md → new skill notifications:

All: Surface any match
Matching practice profile: Filter by profile (default)
None: This skill is off

Close with the next-steps decision tree

End with the next-steps decision tree per CLAUDE.md ## Outputs. Customize the options to what this skill just produced — the five default branches (draft the X, escalate, get more facts, watch and wait, something else) are a starting point, not a lock-in. The tree is the output; the lawyer picks.

What this skill does not do

Install anything.
Interrupt a task in progress. Surfacing happens at the end of a task, not in the middle.
Nag. One mention per skill, ever.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Related Skills Surfacer AI skill do?

Why use Related Skills Surfacer on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Related Skills Surfacer 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 Related Skills Surfacer 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/related-skills-surfacer. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Related Skills Surfacer?

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 Related Skills Surfacer?

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

Is the Related Skills Surfacer 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.
