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 Inventory Content 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/dandye/ai-runbooks.git /tmp/ai-runbooks
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/ai-runbooks/skills/inventory-content .claude/skills/inventory-content

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Inventory Content 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 Inventory Content 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 Inventory Content 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.

Content Inventory Skill

Create a systematic catalog of information assets within a specified path. This skill builds a comprehensive inventory including metadata, file characteristics, and format analysis to support content governance and strategic planning.

Inputs

PATH - The directory or file path to inventory (e.g., "/documentation")
OUTPUT_FORMAT - (Optional) The output format for the inventory, e.g., "csv", "json", "markdown" (default: "json")
METADATA_EXTRACTION - (Optional) Boolean, whether to extract deep metadata (author, date, tags) (default: true)
FORMAT_ANALYSIS - (Optional) Boolean, whether to analyze file formats and types (default: true)

Workflow

Step 1: Asset Discovery

Recursively scan the PATH to identify all files and assets.

Record file paths, names, and sizes.
Identify file types (Markdown, HTML, PDF, Image, etc.).

Step 2: Metadata Extraction

If METADATA_EXTRACTION is true, extract metadata from each asset:

System Metadata: Creation date, modification date, owner.
Embedded Metadata: Frontmatter (YAML), title headers, tags, categories.
Content Metrics: Word count, reading time estimation.

Step 3: Format & Structure Analysis

If FORMAT_ANALYSIS is true, analyze the structure:

Template Usage: Identify if standard templates are used.
Hierarchy Depth: Depth in the directory structure.
Resource Dependencies: Images or other assets linked.

Step 4: Inventory Report Generation

Compile the data into a structured inventory format (CSV, JSON, or Markdown Table) as specified by OUTPUT_FORMAT.

Required Outputs

A CONTENT_INVENTORY_REPORT in the specified OUTPUT_FORMAT containing:

Asset List: Full list of discovered assets.
Metadata Table: Columns for Title, URL/Path, Author, Last Modified, Type, Tags.
Summary Statistics: Total count by type, average age, volume by category.

Quick Reference

Purpose: Establish a baseline understanding of content assets for governance.
Use Case: Migration planning, audit preparation, consolidation projects.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Inventory Content AI skill do?

Systematic cataloging of information assets. Creates comprehensive inventories of all content with metadata and characteristics.

Why use Inventory Content on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Inventory Content 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 Inventory Content in TypingMind?

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

Which AI models can use Inventory Content?

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 Inventory Content?

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

Is the Inventory Content 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.
