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 Core-Mate on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Opengui Plugin Install 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.
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/Core-Mate/OpenGUI.git /tmp/OpenGUI
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/OpenGUI/skills/opengui-plugin-install .claude/skills/opengui-plugin-install

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Opengui Plugin Install 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 Opengui Plugin Install 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 Opengui Plugin Install 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.

OpenGUI plugin installation

Infer Codex or WorkBuddy from the request; ask only if the target is missing. The two plugins have independent versions and installation directories. Do not install both unless requested.

Read the public GitHub releases API for Core-Mate/OpenGUI, following pagination. Select the newest non-draft, non-prerelease semantic version with tag opengui-codex-vX.Y.Z or opengui-workbuddy-vX.Y.Z and all matching assets below. If the user explicitly asks for the public testing/prerelease version, include non-draft prereleases for that host and explain their uncompleted device acceptance. An explicit requested version takes precedence; never silently substitute a different version. Do not use the repository-wide latest release, which may be DSH or an APK.
Download opengui-HOST-X.Y.Z-install.command and its .sha256 asset from that release into a fresh temporary directory. Use HTTPS with redirect-to-HTTPS only. Require exact filenames and verify SHA-256 before executing the installer. The checksum establishes integrity relative to the selected public release, not an independent publisher signature.
Finish existing OpenGUI phone tasks before an upgrade. WorkBuddy 5.5.6 or newer may stay open; never kill it or its phone/mirror processes. Older compatible WorkBuddy versions require a normal Command-Q restart when the installer reports HOST_RESTART_REQUIRED. Codex requires the native CLI with codex plugin support. Never remove a conflicting plugin source without the user's authorization.
For WorkBuddy, run the selected installer with --check first. Read its exact error code; do not inspect the entire application or rewrite configuration manually. Multiple applications require an explicit --app selection. When invoked inside WorkBuddy 5.5.6+, run bash /absolute/path/opengui-HOST-X.Y.Z-install.command directly in the current task after the preflight passes. It downloads and verifies the matching package, prepares private Node 22.23.2, installs into a fresh version directory, and atomically configures only the selected host. If an upgrade reports upgrade_blocked, finish and close the old OpenGUI task/viewer/mirror, disable OpenGUI in MCP service management, wait for its broker to exit, then retry once. No Git clone, pnpm, source compilation, agent-written JSON, or user-run test suite is required.
Read the result. After LIVE_CONFIG_WRITTEN, keep WorkBuddy open: trust/enable the OpenGUI MCP if prompted, open /hooks to review and apply the external Hook change, and open /skills to confirm opengui. Start a new task only if the current task does not refresh. After a stopped-host installation, open WorkBuddy and perform the same checks. Verify read-only device discovery before phone actions. USB and system permissions remain user actions. Installation success does not prove phone control, desktop visibility, or two-device acceptance.

Required release assets:

Codex: opengui-codex-X.Y.Z.tar.gz, its .sha256, and the installer plus its .sha256.
WorkBuddy: opengui-mcp-X.Y.Z.tgz, its .sha256, and the installer plus its .sha256.

If no complete release exists or downloads fail, report that precise state. Do not replace the installer with source builds or invent a working download link. For explicitly requested candidate testing, use a maintainer-provided archive with its adjacent checksum and the matching source installer: bash install-macos.command --archive /absolute/package.tar.gz (WorkBuddy uses .tgz). Keep candidate and published status separate.

Rollback uses the previous version's verified installer after tasks end. WorkBuddy also records scoped configuration backups in ~/.workbuddy/opengui/local-install-<configuration-id>.json; Codex retains previous inventories and a configuration backup beside each immutable package. Preserve subsequent unrelated edits when recovering; do not reset an entire host or touch DSH.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Opengui Plugin Install AI skill do?

Install or upgrade the standalone OpenGUI Codex or WorkBuddy plugin on macOS from verified prebuilt GitHub releases. Use for plugin installation, not phone actions or DSH installation.

Why use Opengui Plugin Install on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Opengui Plugin Install 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 Opengui Plugin Install in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Core-Mate/OpenGUI/tree/main/skills/opengui-plugin-install. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Opengui Plugin Install?

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 Opengui Plugin Install?

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

Is the Opengui Plugin Install AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by Core-Mate. 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.
