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

Installation

Install the Ui Craft Minimal 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.

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/educlopez/ui-craft.git /tmp/ui-craft
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/ui-craft/cli/assets/claude/skills/ui-craft-minimal .claude/skills/ui-craft-minimal

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Ui Craft Minimal 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 Ui Craft Minimal 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 Ui Craft Minimal 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.

UI Craft — Minimal

Pre-committed minimal style: editorial clean, Linear / Notion / Vercel. Whitespace is the composition. One accent, hairline borders, almost no motion.

Knobs (locked)

CRAFT_LEVEL = 8 — minimal aesthetics only work when executed precisely; Polish Pass is mandatory.
MOTION_INTENSITY = 3 — hover + modal enter/exit only. No scroll reveals, no page transitions, no stagger.
VISUAL_DENSITY = 2 — whitespace-heavy, 1-2 items per row, generous gutters.

Do not re-ask these in Discovery. Skip straight to accent + font confirmation if ambiguous.

Style anchors

Black or near-black type on white or near-white canvas. Monochrome + ONE accent.
Inter / Geist for body — never a display font.
Section padding 120-200px vertical, 40-80px gutters.
Hairline borders 1px solid oklch(92% 0.005 250) in place of shadows.
Typography is the hierarchy. No decorative gradients, patterns, or glass.
Single-column hero default. Asymmetry via one supporting element, not layout tricks.
Motion is punctuation, not spectacle.
Every pixel deliberate. When in doubt, cut it.

Base rules (inherited)

All rules in ../ui-craft/SKILL.md apply. This file overrides knob defaults and adds style-specific guidance below. The anti-slop and craft tests still apply in full.

Style-specific overrides

Typography

Body: Inter or Geist, 400 weight. UI emphasis: 500. Never 600/700 in body copy.
system-ui, -apple-system as fallback stack.
Headings: tracking-tight / -0.02em above 24px, 500 or 600 max.
text-wrap: balance on headings, text-wrap: pretty on paragraphs.
No display serifs. No geometric display sans. No mixing two sans families.

Color

Surface: oklch(99% 0 0) (light) / oklch(14% 0.005 250) (dark).
Text: oklch(18% 0.01 250) primary, oklch(46% 0.01 250) secondary.
Accent reserved for: primary CTA, active nav item, one key metric. That is it.
Borders: oklch(92% 0.005 250) light / oklch(24% 0.008 250) dark. No colored borders.

Spacing & layout

Section vertical: py-24 md:py-32 lg:py-40 (96 / 128 / 160px) minimum; 200px for hero on large screens.
Container: max-w-5xl typical; max-w-3xl for reading content.
One accent placement per viewport preferred; two max.
No card grids with more than 2 columns on desktop.

Borders & elevation

Default chrome = 1px hairline border, no shadow.
Elevation only for floating UI (menus, toasts, modals) — single soft ambient shadow, not layered.
Radius: 6px inputs, 8px cards, 12px modals. Keep the scale narrow.

Motion

Allowed: hover (opacity / border color, 120-150ms), modal + dialog enter/exit (180-220ms ease-out), focus ring.
Forbidden at this intensity: scroll-triggered reveals, stagger, page transitions, parallax, magnetic cursor, entrance choreography.
Any animation must honor prefers-reduced-motion.

Composition

Hero: left-aligned or centered headline, ONE supporting element (social proof line, screenshot, single chip). No floating badges, orbs, blobs.
Features: stacked rows with a single real visual each. No 3-up uniform icon grids even when tempting.
Nav: text-only links, current state = accent underline or weight 500. No pill backgrounds.

Reference files to read first

Keep the reading list tight. Load only these from ../ui-craft/references/:

layout.md — spacing, hierarchy, composition
typography.md — scale, readability, weight
color.md — monochrome scales, OKLCH, dark mode
accessibility.md — focus, contrast, keyboard

Skip dashboard.md, stack.md, sound.md unless explicitly relevant.

Anti-patterns for THIS style

Multiple accent colors. One accent, period.
Display serifs, geometric display sans, or mixing two sans families.
Decorative gradients, mesh backgrounds, noise overlays, glass panels.
Scroll-triggered reveals, stagger, page transitions — even "subtle" ones.
Uniform 3-column icon-heading-text feature grids.
Colored shadows or glows as affordances.
Dense layouts. If density feels right, this is the wrong variant — switch to ui-craft-dense-dashboard.
Pill backgrounds on nav links or buttons by default; prefer text + underline.
Section padding under 96px on desktop.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Ui Craft Minimal AI skill do?

Why use Ui Craft Minimal on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Ui Craft Minimal 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 Ui Craft Minimal in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/educlopez/ui-craft/tree/main/cli/assets/claude/skills/ui-craft-minimal. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Ui Craft Minimal?

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 Ui Craft Minimal?

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

Is the Ui Craft Minimal AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by educlopez 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.
