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

Installation

Install the Awardwallet 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/borski/travel-hacking-toolkit/tree/main/plugins/travel-hacking-toolkit/skills/awardwallet
  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/borski/travel-hacking-toolkit.git /tmp/travel-hacking-toolkit
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/travel-hacking-toolkit/plugins/travel-hacking-toolkit/skills/awardwallet .claude/skills/awardwallet
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Awardwallet 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 Awardwallet 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 Awardwallet 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.

AwardWallet Skill

Query loyalty program balances, elite status, and transaction history via the AwardWallet Business Account Access API.

Source: business.awardwallet.com — Requires a Business account.

Authentication

Set these in your .env file:

All requests use the X-Authentication header.

First-time setup gotcha: AwardWallet enforces an IP allowlist on Business API keys. Without your IP whitelisted, every call returns {"error": "access_denied", "code": "IP_DENIED"}. Whitelist before troubleshooting.

  • Where to whitelist: https://business.awardwallet.com/profile/api
  • How to find your IP: curl ifconfig.me
  • Multi-IP: home, office, hotspot, VPN exit nodes, and any travel locations each need their own entry. Easiest is to whitelist a /24 if you're on a stable residential ISP.

Useful jq Filters

All filters below assume the curl output is piped in. Replace ... with the full curl command above.

bash
# Just airline balances with status
... | jq '[.accounts[] | select(.kind == "Airlines") | {name: .displayName, balance: .balanceRaw, status: ((.properties // [])[] | select(.kind == 3) | .value) // "none"}]'

# Just hotel balances with status
... | jq '[.accounts[] | select(.kind == "Hotels") | {name: .displayName, balance: .balanceRaw, status: ((.properties // [])[] | select(.kind == 3) | .value) // "none"}]'

# Just credit card / transferable points
... | jq '[.accounts[] | select(.kind == "Credit Cards") | {name: .displayName, balance: .balanceRaw}]'

# All balances sorted by amount (descending), non-zero only
... | jq '[.accounts[] | {name: .displayName, kind: .kind, balance: .balanceRaw} | select(.balance > 0)] | sort_by(-.balance)'

# Elite status across all programs
... | jq '[.accounts[] | {name: .displayName, status: ((.properties // [])[] | select(.kind == 3) | .value) // null} | select(.status != null)]'

# Accounts with errors (need password update, etc.)
... | jq '[.accounts[] | select(.errorCode != 1) | {name: .displayName, error: .errorCode}]'

# Combined summary for trip planning (airlines + transferable points, non-zero, sorted)
... | jq '[.accounts[] | select((.kind == "Airlines" or .kind == "Credit Cards") and .balanceRaw > 0) | {name: .displayName, kind: .kind, balance: .balanceRaw, status: ((.properties // [])[] | select(.kind == 3) | .value) // null}] | sort_by(-.balance)'

Deep Dive: Full Account History

For full transaction history (beyond last 10):

bash
curl -s -H "X-Authentication: $AWARDWALLET_API_KEY" \
  "https://business.awardwallet.com/api/export/v1/account/{accountId}" | jq '.account[0].history'

Travel Timeline

Get saved itineraries for a connected user:

bash

  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"start": "2026-01-01", "end": "2027-01-01"}' \
  "https://business.awardwallet.com/api/export/v1/travel-timeline/$AWARDWALLET_USER_ID" | jq '.itineraries'

Workflow: Trip Planning Summary

When planning a trip, run this workflow:

  1. Pull all accounts
  2. Filter to Airlines and Credit Cards (transferable points)
  3. Show a clean summary: program name, balance, elite status
  4. Note any accounts with errors that might need updating
  5. Cross reference with transfer partners for the destination

Notes

  • History in user/member detail responses is capped at 10 records. Use /account/{id} for full history.
  • balanceRaw is the numeric value. balance is formatted with commas.
  • Connected users control their own access level. If data seems limited, they may have restricted sharing.
  • SubAccounts exist for programs like Capital One where one login has multiple cards. Check subAccounts array.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Awardwallet AI skill do?

Query AwardWallet for loyalty program balances, elite status, and transaction history. Use when checking points inventory, airline status, or planning trips on points.

Why use Awardwallet on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/borski/travel-hacking-toolkit/tree/main/plugins/travel-hacking-toolkit/skills/awardwallet. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Awardwallet?

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 Awardwallet?

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

Is the Awardwallet AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by borski 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.
