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 Systems 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-systems
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-systems .claude/skills/type-systems

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Type Systems 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 Systems 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 Systems 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 Systems

Typography is a system. Every decision should be intentional and connected.

How to use

/type-systems Apply type system constraints to this conversation.

Constraints

Scale

MUST use a mathematical ratio for the type scale (1.25, 1.333, 1.5 between sizes)
Wide range (12px to 72px): dramatic hierarchy, suits editorial and marketing
Narrow range (14px to 24px): subtle hierarchy, suits dense products
NEVER use random sizes. If it's not on the scale, it shouldn't exist.
MUST limit to 4-6 sizes per screen maximum with clear justification for each

Weight

1-2 weights: discipline. Hierarchy comes from scale and space, not weight.
3 weights: normal range. Regular body, medium emphasis, bold headlines.
4+ weights: either the system demands it or you haven't made a decision.
MUST ensure each weight serves a distinct, named purpose

Line Height

Body text: 1.5-1.7x font size. Where readability lives.
Headlines: 1.1-1.3x. Large text has built-in breathing room.
UI labels: 1.2-1.4x. Compact but not crushed.
NEVER use the same line height for all text sizes

Letter Spacing

Body text: leave it alone. The type designer already optimized it.
All-caps labels: add 2-5% tracking. Capitals need air.
Large display text (72px+): sometimes benefits from tightening.

Anti-Patterns

More than 3 type sizes on a single screen without clear hierarchy justification
Centering paragraphs longer than 3 lines
Lines over 75 characters wide (hurts readability)
Inconsistent weight usage with no system behind it

Frequently asked questions

What does the Type Systems AI skill do?

Scale, weight, line height, and tracking as a coherent system. Use when building type scales, auditing typography consistency, or diagnosing why text feels off.

Why use Type Systems on TypingMind?

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

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

Which AI models can use Type Systems?

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 Systems?

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

Is the Type Systems 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.
