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

Installation

Install the Confirm Action 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/dandye/ai-runbooks.git /tmp/ai-runbooks
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/ai-runbooks/skills/confirm-action .claude/skills/confirm-action
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Confirm Action 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 Confirm Action 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 Confirm Action 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.

Confirm Action Skill

Ask the user a confirmation question before proceeding with a significant action.

Inputs

  • QUESTION_TEXT - The specific question to ask (e.g., "Isolate endpoint WORKSTATION-01?", "Proceed with account disable for jsmith?")
  • (Optional) RESPONSE_OPTIONS - Predefined options for the user:
    • Default: ["Yes", "No"]
    • Custom examples: ["Disable Account", "Reset Password", "Monitor Only"]

Workflow

Step 1: Present Question

Display the question to the user with available options.

Step 2: Wait for Response

Collect the user's selection or custom input.

Step 3: Return Response

Provide the response back to the calling workflow for decision branching.

Outputs

OutputDescription
USER_RESPONSEThe user's answer to the confirmation question

When to Use

Always confirm before:

  • Isolating/quarantining endpoints
  • Disabling user accounts
  • Blocking IPs/domains at firewall
  • Terminating processes
  • Deleting files
  • Escalating to incident response
  • Closing cases as false positive (for high-severity alerts)

May skip confirmation for:

  • Adding comments to cases
  • Running enrichment queries
  • Generating reports
  • Read-only operations

Example Confirmations

Containment:

Question: "Isolate endpoint WORKSTATION-01 from the network?"
Options: ["Yes - Isolate", "No - Continue Monitoring", "Escalate First"]

Account Action:

Question: "User jsmith shows signs of compromise. What action?"
Options: ["Disable Account", "Force Password Reset", "Monitor Only", "Escalate to IR"]

Case Closure:

Question: "Close case 1234 as False Positive?"
Options: ["Yes - Close FP", "No - Keep Open", "Escalate to Tier 2"]

Frequently asked questions

What does the Confirm Action AI skill do?

Ask the user to confirm before taking a significant action. Use before containment, remediation, or other impactful operations to ensure analyst approval. Presents options and waits for response.

Why use Confirm Action on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Confirm Action 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 Confirm Action in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/dandye/ai-runbooks/tree/main/skills/confirm-action. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Confirm Action?

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 Confirm Action?

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

Is the Confirm Action AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by dandye 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.
