  • 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.

  • 2 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by backtrue on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Mk 008 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/backtrue/thinkwithblack-skill/tree/main/en/skills/mk-008
  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/backtrue/thinkwithblack-skill.git /tmp/thinkwithblack-skill
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/thinkwithblack-skill/en/skills/mk-008 .claude/skills/mk-008
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Mk 008 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 Mk 008 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 Mk 008 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.

For a regular chat, upload packs/mk-008.md. It includes the shared rules, this method, and required references

Purpose

This skill delivers: Creative angles that place specifications in everyday situations

Separate features, benefits, and evidence; do not claim exclusivity without competitor data

Required inputs

Provide: Product specifications, competitor differences, verifiable evidence, and intended customers

Method

  1. Use the Persona's Who, When, Where, and What to identify situations in which the product would be used or needed
  2. Place the USP in that situation and confirm it addresses the role's immediate problem or desired change
  3. The same product may fit different scenarios for different Personas; do not treat one scenario as the only use across the entire market

Calculations and interpretation

Use only verifiable product differences. Mark claims lacking evidence as needing support; do not generate fabricated evidence

Required output fields

OrderFieldHow to complete
1Factual featureUse source evidence, an intermediate method result, or an explicit unknown; do not invent information
2Customer taskUse source evidence, an intermediate method result, or an explicit unknown; do not invent information
3Tangible benefitUse source evidence, an intermediate method result, or an explicit unknown; do not invent information
4Basis for comparisonUse source evidence, an intermediate method result, or an explicit unknown; do not invent information
5Suitable angleUse source evidence, an intermediate method result, or an explicit unknown; do not invent information
6Lead/supporting/to investigateUse source evidence, an intermediate method result, or an explicit unknown; do not invent information
7ReasonUse source evidence, an intermediate method result, or an explicit unknown; do not invent information

Verification cases

MK-008-C05 | The specification is true, but no industry comparison data is available

Expected: Functional benefits may be proposed; do not claim the product is unique or number one

MK-008-C06 | The information consists only of technical terms

Expected: Explain their role under the known usage conditions first; do not invent unverified effects

English translation of source excerpt:

Help identify the product's USP (Unique Selling Proposition). This is also your first opportunity to communicate with the AI. It is good if it identifies the point, but if it does not get what you mean, make sure to tell it your thinking

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 Mk 008 AI skill do?

Turning selling points into usage scenarios. Use when the task requires creative angles that place specifications in everyday situations. Apply this method to the specified inputs and verify the deliverable

Why use Mk 008 on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Mk 008 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 Mk 008 in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/backtrue/thinkwithblack-skill/tree/main/en/skills/mk-008. 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 Mk 008?

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 Mk 008?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Mk 008 with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Mk 008 AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by backtrue 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.
