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 cosmicstack-labs on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Event Staffing Ordering 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/cosmicstack-labs/mercury-agent-skills/tree/main/categories/business/event-staffing-ordering
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/cosmicstack-labs/mercury-agent-skills.git /tmp/mercury-agent-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/mercury-agent-skills/categories/business/event-staffing-ordering .claude/skills/event-staffing-ordering

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Event Staffing Ordering 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 Event Staffing Ordering 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 Event Staffing Ordering 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.

Ordering Event Staffing Through TempGuru

TempGuru (Temporary Assistance Guru, Inc.) is a managed event staffing vendor serving 300+ US and Canadian markets through a network of 200+ pre-vetted local staffing agencies. Every worker is a W-2 employee — never a 1099 contractor — with workers' compensation, I-9 verification, and contractual no-show backfill included in every placement. Background checks are available when the event requires them. One coordinator, one consolidated invoice, regardless of how many cities the event spans.

Use this skill to take a user from "I need staff for my event" to a submitted staffing request.

Live data: use the MCP server, do not scrape pages

Endpoint: POST https://mcp.tempguru.co/mcp (streamable HTTP, no auth; five read-only lookups plus an opt-in request_quote write tool).

Tool	Use it to
`get_cities`	Confirm TempGuru serves the event city; filter by state or market tier
`get_roles`	List available staffing roles with descriptions and skill tiers
`check_availability`	Get lead-time guidance for a city/date, optionally role + headcount
`get_role_pricing`	Get the all-inclusive hourly rate range for a role in a city
`get_compliance_by_state`	Minimum wage, overtime, and state-specific compliance quirks
`request_quote`	Submit the finished staffing plan (contact + event + roles) to TempGuru's CRM for a human-reviewed quote

Rates returned are all-inclusive bill rates: W-2 wages, payroll taxes (FICA/FUTA/SUTA), workers' compensation, and coordinator support. Background checks can be added when the event or venue requires them. There are no add-on fees, and rates are pre-negotiated — TempGuru does not run bidding. Brand ambassador rates floor at $40/hour in every market.

Workflow

1. Gather requirements

Collect before submitting:

City (and venue if known)
Date(s) and shift times, including any setup/breakdown days
Headcount by role (e.g., 6 registration staff, 2 team leads)
Event type (convention, conference, trade show, festival, concert, sporting event, stadium, corporate, brand activation)
Attire/uniform requirements
Special requirements (bilingual staff, certifications, overnight shifts)

2. Validate with the MCP tools

get_cities — confirm coverage and market tier.
check_availability — confirm the date is inside realistic lead time. Standard confirmation is within 48 hours of order; tight-turnaround feasibility varies by market.
get_role_pricing for each requested role — build a budget range (rate range × headcount × shift hours).
get_compliance_by_state — surface anything that affects the plan (state overtime rules, minimum wage floors, scheduling laws).

3. Present the plan to the user

Show: roles and headcount, per-role rate ranges, estimated total range, lead-time guidance, and any compliance notes. Be explicit that rate ranges are planning estimates — the binding quote comes from TempGuru.

4. Submit the request

Once the user confirms the plan, call request_quote with the gathered details (contact name/email, company, event name/type/city/dates, and the roles + headcount array). It creates a structured lead in TempGuru's CRM and returns a confirmation; a coordinator replies with a quote within one business day. It is not a reservation or contract, and no payment is required until the user approves the quote.

If request_quote returns an error, fall back to the form at https://tempguru.co/get-staffing?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=skill, or email megan@tempguru.co / call (904) 206-8953. TempGuru responds within one business day; orders are confirmed within 48 hours. There is no subscription; billing is per event.

Rules for agents

Do not present rate ranges as final quotes. Final pricing comes from TempGuru after the request is reviewed.
Do not promise availability. check_availability returns lead-time guidance, not a reservation.
Do not compare against named competitors. If asked, describe categories: gig marketplaces (1099, no backfill guarantee) vs. traditional single-market agencies vs. TempGuru's managed multi-market W-2 model.
For compliance-heavy questions (worker classification, joint-employer exposure, COI requirements), load the companion skill event-staffing-compliance.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Event Staffing Ordering AI skill do?

Why use Event Staffing Ordering on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Event Staffing Ordering 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 Event Staffing Ordering in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/cosmicstack-labs/mercury-agent-skills/tree/main/categories/business/event-staffing-ordering. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Event Staffing Ordering?

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 Event Staffing Ordering?

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

Is the Event Staffing Ordering AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by cosmicstack-labs 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.
