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

Installation

Install the Prompt For Others 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/davidondrej/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/skills/ops-and-setup/prompt-for-others .claude/skills/prompt-for-others

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Prompt For Others 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 Prompt For Others 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 Prompt For Others 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.

Prompt For Others

Write for an AI agent on a teammate's machine with no chat context. The teammate may be non-technical and will not edit the prompt.

Workflow

Test the fix on the user's machine unless already tested. Never include untested commands.
Draft the paragraph in this exact order:
- Goal in one sentence.
- Context in 1–2 sentences: what the tool does, the problem, and why the fix is needed.
- Steps as exact commands, in backticks, in order.
- Verify with exact commands and expected output.
- Stop rule: what to do if a precondition is missing.
- Report back: the 1–2 facts the teammate should receive.
Read as an agent with no context: could it run this without questions? Inline any missing context.
Give the user one ready-to-copy paragraph in a blockquote, without headings, bullets, or commentary; then stop.

Rules

One paragraph. If it needs two, the fix is too big; split it or say so.
Commands must be copy-safe: absolute where it matters, no placeholders like <your-name> unless the agent can resolve them ($(id -u) is fine).
Prefer reversible steps. If a step is destructive, say so and require the agent to confirm with the human first.
Never include secrets, tokens, or private URLs. Point to where the agent can find them locally instead.
Explain why the change is needed in plain English.
Assume nothing is installed. Use a stop rule instead of an install fallback unless the user asked for one.

Example

Upgrade the repo-sync background service on this Mac to v0.1.1 and restart it. Context: repo-sync (Homebrew cask vectal-labs/tap/repo-sync) auto-syncs Git repos. v0.1.1 fixes misleading popups during network blips. The cask needs an explicit upgrade, followed by a service restart. Steps: run brew update && brew upgrade --cask repo-sync, then launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/com.vectal-labs.repo-sync. Verify with brew list --cask --versions repo-sync (must show 0.1.1) and tail -3 ~/Library/Logs/repo-sync/stdout.log (must show a fresh watching N repositories line). If brew or the cask is missing, stop and tell me instead of installing anything. Report back the version and the log line.

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 Prompt For Others AI skill do?

Write a prompt teammates can give their AI agents to apply a fix, upgrade, or setup change. Use only when the user explicitly invokes /prompt-for-others.

Why use Prompt For Others on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Prompt For Others 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 Prompt For Others in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/davidondrej/skills/tree/main/skills/ops-and-setup/prompt-for-others. 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 Prompt For Others?

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 Prompt For Others?

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

Is the Prompt For Others AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by davidondrej 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.
