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.
5 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 Styles 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-styles
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-styles .claude/skills/god-styles

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable God Styles 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 Styles 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 Styles 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 Styles: The Style Atlas

How to use

Find the entry. The index references/00-index.md lists every style ID by family. Open only the reference file you need:
- references/01-art-movements.md: Western movements 1850–2000
- references/02-digital-ui.md: interface styles
- references/03-retro-subcultures.md: retro, internet and subculture looks
- references/04-world-traditions.md: world traditions and the respectful-use protocol
Translate, don't costume. Extract the style's grammar: grid logic, geometry, colour roles, type behaviour, ornament system. Apply it to the user's real content and medium.
Make it tokens. Convert the palette and type into roles (--color-bg, --color-ink, --color-accent, --font-display, --font-body), then build. Fix contrast with god-color if the historical palette fails WCAG for text.
Respect the refusals. Each entry's Don't line matters as much as its Do.

Picking a style when none is given

Derive it from the subject's world, not from trends:

Brief signal	Strong candidates
Finance, legal, B2B data	`swiss-international`, `editorial`, `terminal-dense`, `dark-tech`, `scandinavian`
Luxury, hospitality, fashion	`art-deco`, `editorial`, `minimalism`, `japanese-wabi-sabi`, `ottoman-tezhip`, `vienna-secession`
Kids, education, playful consumer	`memphis`, `claymorphism`, `kawaii`, `mid-century-modern`, `risograph`
Culture, music, events	`constructivism`, `psychedelic-60s`, `acid-rave`, `punk-zine`, `polish-poster`, `cuban-poster`
Wellness, food, sustainability	`organic-biophilic`, `solarpunk`, `scandinavian`, `japanese-wabi-sabi`, `tactile-grain`
Developer tools, AI, SaaS	`dark-tech`, `industrial-mono`, `brutalism-web`, `bento-grid`, `swiss-international` (avoid default `ai-native` clichés)
Turkish / Anatolian brand or heritage	`ottoman-iznik`, `ottoman-tezhip`, `turkish-ebru`, `anatolian-kilim`, modernised with `swiss-international`
Gaming, entertainment	`cyberpunk`, `synthwave`, `pixel-art`, `anime-manga`, `y2k`

Mixing styles

You may fuse at most two: one structural style (grid and type) plus one ornamental style (colour, motif). Examples:

Swiss grid + İznik palette and tulip line icons → a modern Turkish ceramics e-shop.
Editorial serif layout + wabi-sabi emptiness → a tea brand.
Neo-brutalist components + kente colour meanings → a Ghanaian fintech, with credit and local designers.

State the fusion explicitly in your direction sentence.

Output for a style request

Return:

A direction sentence.
A token block (CSS variables) derived from the entry.
Font import (Google Fonts <link> or @import).
The artefact (code, SVG or prompt).
Three lines on what the style refuses, so later edits stay on-style.

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 Styles AI skill do?

Why use God Styles on TypingMind?

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

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

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 Styles?

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

Is the God Styles 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.
