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 b1rdmania on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Art 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/b1rdmania/claude-brand-skills/tree/master/art
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/b1rdmania/claude-brand-skills.git /tmp/claude-brand-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-brand-skills/art .claude/skills/Art

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Art 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 Art 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 Art 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.

Art Skill — Image Generation

A CLI tool for generating images from text prompts using multiple AI models. Used by the brand-skill in Phase 2 (Visual Direction) and Phase 3 (Mark Development) for reference image generation.

The Tool

Tools/Generate.ts — A multi-model image generation CLI that supports:

Model	Flag	API Key	Best for
Gemini (nano-banana-pro)	`--model nano-banana-pro`	`GOOGLE_API_KEY`	Best quality, text rendering
Replicate (nano-banana)	`--model nano-banana`	`REPLICATE_API_TOKEN`	Faster iteration
Flux	`--model flux`	`REPLICATE_API_TOKEN`	High quality, stylistic variety
GPT Image	`--model gpt-image-1`	`OPENAI_API_KEY`	Alternative generation

Setup

Install bun runtime: curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash
Set at least one API key as an environment variable
Run with: bun run Tools/Generate.ts --model [MODEL] --prompt "[PROMPT]" --output ~/Downloads/output.png

Usage

bash
# Basic generation
bun run Tools/Generate.ts \
  --model nano-banana-pro \
  --prompt "Abstract minimalist logo concept: [description]. Clean vector style, dark background. No text." \
  --size 2K \
  --aspect-ratio 1:1 \
  --output ~/Downloads/brand-ref-1.png

# With background removal (useful for marks)
bun run Tools/Generate.ts \
  --model nano-banana-pro \
  --prompt "[PROMPT]" \
  --size 2K \
  --remove-bg \
  --output ~/Downloads/mark-reference.png

# With reference image for style consistency
bun run Tools/Generate.ts \
  --model nano-banana-pro \
  --prompt "[PROMPT]" \
  --reference-image existing-mark.png \
  --size 2K \
  --output ~/Downloads/variation.png

Flags

Flag	Options	Default	Purpose
`--model`	nano-banana-pro, nano-banana, flux, gpt-image-1	nano-banana-pro	Image generation model
`--prompt`	text	(required)	The generation prompt
`--size`	1K, 2K, 4K (or aspect like 16:9)	16:9	Output resolution or aspect ratio
`--aspect-ratio`	1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 3:2, 21:9	16:9	Aspect ratio (Gemini nano-banana-pro)
`--output`	path	~/Downloads/generated-image.png	Output file path
`--remove-bg`	(flag)	off	Remove background (requires REMOVEBG_API_KEY)
`--thumbnail`	(flag)	off	Generate both transparent + background versions (enables --remove-bg)
`--reference-image`	path (repeatable)	none	Style/content reference (nano-banana-pro only)
`--creative-variations`	number	1	Generate multiple variations (-v1, -v2, etc.)

In the Brand Process

Phase 2 — Visual Direction (Mode A): Generate 3-4 reference images exploring different visual interpretations of the brand concept. Use --aspect-ratio 1:1 for logo references (default is 16:9). High resolution, abstract/minimalist prompts.

Phase 3 — Mark Development (Path A): Generate high-contrast reference images for bitmap tracing with vtracer. Use --remove-bg for clean marks. Trace the result to SVG.

Tips

Always output to ~/Downloads/ first for preview
Square (1:1) aspect ratio works best for logo references
Include "no text" in prompts for logo/mark references
Use --remove-bg when generating marks for tracing
Keep prompts abstract: "minimalist logo concept" not "a logo for my company"
nano-banana-pro handles text rendering best if you need labels

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 Art AI skill do?

AI image generation tool. Use when you need to generate reference images, illustrations, or visual content from text prompts.

Why use Art on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/b1rdmania/claude-brand-skills/tree/master/art. 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 Art?

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 Art?

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

Is the Art AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by b1rdmania. Check the repository for licensing terms. 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.
