  • 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.

  • 3 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by digitalsamba on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Qwen Edit 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.
    https://github.com/digitalsamba/claude-code-video-toolkit/tree/main/.claude/skills/qwen-edit
  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.

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/digitalsamba/claude-code-video-toolkit.git /tmp/claude-code-video-toolkit
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-code-video-toolkit/.claude/skills/qwen-edit .claude/skills/qwen-edit
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Qwen Edit 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 Qwen Edit 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 Qwen Edit 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.

Qwen-Image-Edit Skill

AI-powered image editing using Qwen-Image-Edit-2511 via RunPod serverless.

Status: Evolving - learnings being captured as we experiment

When to Use This Skill

Use when the user wants to:

  • Edit/transform photos while preserving identity
  • Reframe cropped images (fix cut-off heads, etc.)
  • Change clothing, add accessories
  • Change pose (arm positions, hand placement)
  • Apply style transfers (cyberpunk, anime, oil painting)
  • Adjust lighting/color grading
  • Add/remove objects
  • Character transformations (Bond, Neo, etc.)

When NOT to Use

  • Background replacement (single image) - creates cut-out artifacts, halos
  • Face swapping - cannot preserve identity from reference
  • Outpainting - can't extend canvas reliably

Use With Care

  • Multi-image compositing - CAN work with explicit identity anchors (see examples.md for prompt patterns). Requires describing distinctive features (hair texture/color, ethnicity, outfit) and using guidance ~2.0
  • Camera angle changes - Inconsistent results. Vertical angles (low/high) work better than rotational (three-quarter view)

Quick Reference

bash
# Basic edit
uv run tools/image_edit.py --input photo.jpg --prompt "Add sunglasses"

# With negative prompt (recommended)
uv run tools/image_edit.py --input photo.jpg \
  --prompt "Reframe as portrait with full head visible" \
  --negative "blur, distortion, artifacts"

# Style transfer
uv run tools/image_edit.py --input photo.jpg --style cyberpunk

# Background (use cautiously - often fails)
uv run tools/image_edit.py --input photo.jpg --background office

# Higher quality
uv run tools/image_edit.py --input photo.jpg --prompt "..." --steps 16 --guidance 3.0

# Multi-image composite (identity-preserving)
uv run tools/image_edit.py --input person.jpg background.jpg \
  --prompt "The [ethnicity] [gender] with [hair description] from first image is now in [scene] from second image. Same [features], [outfit]." \
  --negative "different ethnicity, different hair color, different face shape, generic stock photo" \
  --steps 16 --guidance 2.0

Frequently asked questions

What does the Qwen Edit AI skill do?

AI image editing prompting patterns for Qwen-Image-Edit. Use when editing photos while preserving identity, reframing cropped images, changing clothing or accessories, adjusting poses, applying style transfers, or character transformations. Provides prompt patterns, parameter tuning, and examples.

Why use Qwen Edit on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Qwen Edit 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 Qwen Edit in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/digitalsamba/claude-code-video-toolkit/tree/main/.claude/skills/qwen-edit. 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 Qwen Edit?

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 Qwen Edit?

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

Is the Qwen Edit AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by digitalsamba 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.
