Choose typefaces based on voice and context, not trends. Use when selecting fonts for a project, evaluating type choices, or understanding what a typeface communicates before anyone reads a word.

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 Dragoon0x on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Type Selection 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/Dragoon0x/taste-skills/tree/main/skills/typography/type-selection
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/Dragoon0x/taste-skills.git /tmp/taste-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/taste-skills/skills/typography/type-selection .claude/skills/type-selection

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Type Selection 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 Type Selection 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 Type Selection 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.

Type Selection

Every typeface carries cultural and emotional information. Choose based on what it says, not what's popular.

How to use

/type-selection Apply type selection constraints to this conversation.

Constraints

Selection Criteria

MUST choose based on the product's voice, not current trends
MUST evaluate how the typeface performs at the sizes it will actually be used (body, UI labels, headlines)
MUST consider the full character set needed (language support, special characters, numerals)
NEVER choose a typeface because it's trending without evaluating fit
SHOULD limit to 1-2 typefaces. If you can't explain why you need two, use one.

What Typefaces Communicate

Geometric sans (Inter, Circular, Futura): precision, modernity, tech-forward. The default means using one says nothing. How you USE it does.
Humanist sans (Source Sans, Lato): warmth, approachability, readability
Neo-grotesque (Helvetica, Suisse): neutrality, professionalism, institutional
Serif (Georgia, Freight): authority, editorial quality, timelessness
Monospace (JetBrains Mono, Berkeley Mono): technical credibility, precision
Display/Variable (Clash, Cabinet): personality, distinctiveness. Only work when the system supports them.

Pairing Rules

MUST create clear contrast when pairing: scale, style, or weight contrast
One typeface used well beats two typefaces used carelessly
NEVER pair two medium-weight faces. Push the difference.

Anti-Patterns

Choosing a typeface because a product you admire uses it (context matters)
Using decorative typefaces for body text
Picking from "trending fonts" lists without evaluating fit

Frequently asked questions

What does the Type Selection AI skill do?

Choose typefaces based on voice and context, not trends. Use when selecting fonts for a project, evaluating type choices, or understanding what a typeface communicates before anyone reads a word.

Why use Type Selection on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Type Selection 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 Type Selection in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Dragoon0x/taste-skills/tree/main/skills/typography/type-selection. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Type Selection?

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 Type Selection?

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

Is the Type Selection AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Dragoon0x 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.
