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 davepoon on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Immich Photo Manager 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/davepoon/buildwithclaude/tree/main/plugins/all-skills/skills/immich-photo-manager
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/davepoon/buildwithclaude.git /tmp/buildwithclaude
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/buildwithclaude/plugins/all-skills/skills/immich-photo-manager .claude/skills/immich-photo-manager

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Immich Photo Manager 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 Immich Photo Manager 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 Immich Photo Manager 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.

Immich Photo Manager

MCP server and Claude Code plugin for intelligent photo management with self-hosted Immich.

Overview

When your Immich library has grown past what you can manage by hand, this plugin gives Claude direct access to your instance through 94 MCP tools and 13 skills. Search with natural language or by the text inside a photo, create geographic albums from GPS data, find duplicates across import sources, manage people and faces, repair metadata, cut frames out of videos, export an album as a PDF photobook, and browse results in interactive HTML galleries. The plugin runs on your machine and talks only to your Immich; originals never leave your server.

Key Features

Natural language search: CLIP visual search ("sunset at the beach", "birthday cake"), plus people, places, dates and camera filters
Text inside photos: OCR search finds a ticket, a sign or a document by what is written on it
Geographic albums: albums organized by place from GPS clustering and temporal matching
Duplicate detection: cross-source analysis with perceptual hashing (catches re-encoded copies from Apple Photos and Google Takeout); near-duplicates can be stacked instead of deleted
People and faces: list, search, merge and rename people, reassign misidentified faces
Metadata repair: fix noon and midnight timestamps, infer missing GPS from neighboring photos, correct timezone offsets
Video frames and PDF reports: evenly spaced frames from any clip, and an album or selection exported as a PDF photobook with captions, built locally
Dates in one call: month buckets, a calendar heatmap that shows gaps, and Immich's "on this day" memories
Library health: asset inventory, metadata quality, storage breakdown and recommendations
Notes between sessions: verdicts stored on each asset, so the next cleanup skips what an earlier pass reviewed
Interactive galleries: self-contained HTML files with embedded thumbnails, 3 themes, 4 view modes, slideshow
Safety first: findings are shown and confirmed before anything is written; trash first, permanent delete only on request

Compatibility

Every release runs live against real Immich 2.7.5 and 3.1.0 in Docker before it is tagged (all tools over MCP, state re-read after each write); the kit is in the repository under tests/live/. Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, LM Studio and any MCP client. Requires Immich 1.90+, an API key and Python 3.10+.

Installation

bash
git clone https://github.com/drolosoft/immich-photo-manager.git
cd immich-photo-manager
pip3 install -r src/requirements.txt
claude plugin marketplace add ./
claude plugin install immich-photo-manager

Then run /setup-immich-photo-manager inside Claude Code, or say "Update my Immich credentials to https://photos.example.com with API key ". The same server is available as uvx immich-photo-manager for other MCP clients and as a Docker image (ghcr.io/drolosoft/immich-photo-manager, MCP over HTTP on port 8626).

Frequently asked questions

What does the Immich Photo Manager AI skill do?

Why use Immich Photo Manager on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Immich Photo Manager 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 Immich Photo Manager in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/davepoon/buildwithclaude/tree/main/plugins/all-skills/skills/immich-photo-manager. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Immich Photo Manager?

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 Immich Photo Manager?

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

Is the Immich Photo Manager AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by davepoon 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.
