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

Installation

Install the Remote From Slack 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.
  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.
2

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/codeaholicguy/ai-devkit.git /tmp/ai-devkit
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/ai-devkit/skills/remote-from-slack .claude/skills/remote-from-slack
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Remote From Slack 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 Remote From Slack 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 Remote From Slack 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.

Remote From Slack

Use this skill when the user wants to control or chat with the current session from Slack.

Prefer the installed ai-devkit binary; if unavailable, use npx ai-devkit@latest. Run AI DevKit commands outside filesystem sandboxes because they inspect host-level agent and channel state.

Workflow

  1. Check readiness:

    bash
    ai-devkit status --json

    If AI DevKit is not ready, use ai-devkit-setup skill first. Stop if setup leaves manual actions.

  2. Inspect channels and agents:

    bash
    ai-devkit channel list
    ai-devkit agent list --json
  3. Identify the current agent by matching this session to an agent list --json entry. If unclear, ask for the agent name.

  4. Find configured Slack channels. If none exist, tell the user to run:

    bash
    ai-devkit channel connect slack

    Stop after giving that action.

  5. Choose a channel. Use the requested channel or the only available Slack channel. If multiple Slack channels are available, ask the user which one to use. Available means Slack, enabled, credentials present, and not already running.

  6. If no Slack channel is available because bridges are already running, ask before stopping one. After confirmation:

    bash
    ai-devkit channel stop <channel>
  7. Start the bridge in the background:

    bash
    ai-devkit channel start <channel> --agent <agent-name> --daemon
  8. Report the connected channel, agent name, and how to stop it: ai-devkit channel stop <channel>.

Boundaries

  • Do not create or connect a Slack channel for the user; only point them to channel connect.
  • Do not stop a running bridge without explicit confirmation.
  • Do not guess when both agent or channel selection are ambiguous.

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 Remote From Slack AI skill do?

AI DevKit · Connect the current agent session to an available Slack channel bridge.

Why use Remote From Slack on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Remote From Slack 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 Remote From Slack in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/codeaholicguy/ai-devkit/tree/main/skills/remote-from-slack. 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 Remote From Slack?

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 Remote From Slack?

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

Is the Remote From Slack AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by codeaholicguy under the Apache-2.0 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.
