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.
3 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by axoviq-ai on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Url 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.
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/axoviq-ai/synthadoc.git /tmp/synthadoc
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/synthadoc/synthadoc/skills/url .claude/skills/url

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Url 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 Url 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 Url 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.

URL Skill

Fetches a web URL using httpx, strips navigation/script/style tags with BeautifulSoup, and returns clean body text. PDF URLs are extracted with pypdf (primary) and pdfminer.six (fallback).

Setup

bash
pip install httpx beautifulsoup4

# Optional — needed only if you ingest PDF URLs:
pip install pypdf pdfminer.six

Standalone usage

python
import asyncio
from synthadoc.skills.url.scripts.main import UrlSkill

skill = UrlSkill()

async def main():
    result = await skill.extract("https://example.com/article")
    print(result.text)          # clean body text
    print(result.metadata)      # {"url": "https://..."}

asyncio.run(main())

DomainBlockedException is raised when the site returns HTTP 401, 403, or 429. Catch it to log and skip the domain:

python
from synthadoc.skills.base import DomainBlockedException

try:
    result = await skill.extract(url)
except DomainBlockedException as e:
    print(f"Blocked: {e.domain} (HTTP {e.status_code})")

When this skill is used

Source starts with https:// or http://
User intent contains: fetch url, web page, website

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 Url AI skill do?

Fetch and extract text from web URLs

Why use Url on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/axoviq-ai/synthadoc/tree/main/synthadoc/skills/url. 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 Url?

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 Url?

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

Is the Url AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by axoviq-ai under the AGPL-3.0-or-later 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.
