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.
2 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by cumabozkurt on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the God Color 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/cumabozkurt/god-of-design/tree/main/skills/god-color
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/cumabozkurt/god-of-design.git /tmp/god-of-design
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/god-of-design/skills/god-color .claude/skills/god-color

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable God Color 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 God Color 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 God Color 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.

God Color

Procedure

Start from meaning, not from a wheel. What should the colour do: signal trust, appetite, energy, calm, heritage? Check cultural meaning for the audience (references/color-reference.md, cultural table).
Pick an anchor. Choose one brand or accent hue. Everything else is neutral or supporting.
Choose a harmony (see below) and a proportion: the 60-30-10 rule (dominant neutral / secondary / accent) is a safe default. Bold styles may use 50-40-10.
Build scales in OKLCH. Use 11 steps (50–950) per hue with steady lightness steps and slightly reduced chroma at the extremes. OKLCH keeps perceived lightness consistent across hues, unlike HSL.
Assign roles. Use bg, surface, surface-raised, border, text, text-muted, accent, accent-contrast, success, warning, danger, info, focus. Components use roles, never raw hex.
Check contrast. Text ≥ 4.5:1 (large text ≥ 18.66px bold / 24px regular: ≥ 3:1). UI components and graphics ≥ 3:1 (WCAG 1.4.3, 1.4.11). Use the formula in the reference, or run node scripts/contrast.mjs <fg> <bg> (path relative to this skill folder).
Design dark mode separately. Don't just invert. Use dark grey surfaces (oklch(0.18–0.22 …)), lighter surfaces for elevation, desaturated accents, and off-white text (oklch(0.93 0 0)).
Test colour-blind safety. Never encode meaning by hue alone. Add icons, labels or patterns. Avoid pairing red and green as the only cue.

Harmony schemes

Scheme	Construction	Feel	Use
Monochromatic	One hue, varied L/C	Calm, premium	Minimal brands, dashboards
Analogous	3 neighbours (±30°)	Harmonious, natural	Wellness, food
Complementary	Opposite (180°)	Vibrant, high tension	CTAs, sports, posters
Split-complementary	Base + two neighbours of its complement	Lively but balanced	Marketing sites
Triadic	3 at 120°	Playful, bold	Kids, Bauhaus, Memphis
Tetradic / square	4 at 90°	Rich, hard to balance	Illustration
Neutral + one accent	Greys + single hue	Modern, focused	SaaS, Swiss, editorial

Fast palette recipe (from one brand hex)

text
accent      = brand hex (OKLCH L between 0.45 and 0.65 for text-on-white or white-on-accent)
bg          = oklch(0.985 0.005 <brand hue>)      # tinted off-white
surface     = oklch(0.97 0.007 <hue>)
border      = oklch(0.90 0.01 <hue>)
text        = oklch(0.22 0.02 <hue>)              # tinted near-black; no pure #000 on #fff
text-muted  = oklch(0.48 0.02 <hue>)              # must still hit 4.5:1 on bg
accent-contrast = white or text, whichever passes 4.5:1 on accent

Gradients that don't look generic

Interpolate in OKLCH (linear-gradient(in oklch, …)) to avoid muddy middles.
Use close hues (≤ 60° apart) or one hue + neutral. Default purple→blue→pink reads as AI slop.
Add 2–4% noise to prevent banding on large areas.

Screen vs print

Screen: sRGB by default. Display-P3 for vivid accents via color(display-p3 …) with an sRGB fallback.
Print: CMYK conversion shifts saturated RGB (especially greens, blues and oranges). Specify Pantone/CMYK for brand colours. Rich black for large areas C60 M40 Y40 K100; body text 100K only. See god-print.

See references/color-reference.md for contrast math, OKLCH ramps, curated palettes, cultural colour meanings and colour-blind-safe sets.

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 God Color AI skill do?

Why use God Color on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/cumabozkurt/god-of-design/tree/main/skills/god-color. 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 God Color?

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 God Color?

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

Is the God Color AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by cumabozkurt 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.
