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

Installation

Install the Factory Ship 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/BuilderIO/skills/tree/main/skills/factory-ship
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/BuilderIO/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/skills/factory-ship .claude/skills/factory-ship

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Factory Ship 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 Factory Ship 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 Factory Ship 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.

Factory Ship

Start with the Factory guide for workflow setup and configuration.

Read .agent-factory/config.yaml, the optional skill_prompts.factory-ship entry, and the repository's instructions before publishing. See the Factory configuration reference. The prompt adds project guidance; editing code does not by itself authorize a PR update, approval, merge, or deployment.

Delivery steps

Confirm ownership. Identify the target repository, task-owned worktree, branch, and complete task-related change set. Preserve unrelated changes. Use a clean automation-owned worktree when the scheduler provides one; never take over a peer's checkout.
Verify changes. Run the configured formatter, tests, and release checks. Report checks that were skipped or unavailable.
Publish when enabled. Open or update a PR only when authorized. Apply configured title, body, draft status, labels, and communication rules. Do not tag or message people unless enabled.
Resolve feedback. Compare comments with the code and current human direction. Make one coherent update, then rerun affected checks.
Apply merge gates. Merge only under its own enabled policy and while all criteria hold on the unchanged live head. Use a head-match guard when the host supports it. A head change invalidates tied evidence and resets the soak.
Verify and close out. Confirm the merge in the current base branch. Verify deployment only when configured; a merge is not live proof. Close issues, rotate worktrees, and notify only at their configured proof points.

Stop conditions

Hold the work when ownership, authorization, a required check, or live host state is missing or unclear. State the exact next step; do not turn an inconclusive result into success.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Factory Ship AI skill do?

Experimental workflow for publishing and completing configured software delivery work. Use when the user or an enabled factory policy asks to ship.

Why use Factory Ship on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/BuilderIO/skills/tree/main/skills/factory-ship. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Factory Ship?

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 Factory Ship?

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

Is the Factory Ship AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by BuilderIO 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.
