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

Installation

Install the Writing Rules 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/EvannZhongg/Nosis/tree/main/tests/nosis-plugin-testkit/skills/writing-rules
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/EvannZhongg/Nosis.git /tmp/Nosis
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/Nosis/tests/nosis-plugin-testkit/skills/writing-rules .claude/skills/writing-rules

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Writing Rules 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 Writing Rules 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 Writing Rules 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.

Hookify project rules

Rules live in the current Workspace at .nosis/hookify.<name>.json. Read existing rules before editing. Use the ordinary Nosis file tools to create or update rules; creating a rule does not bypass their permissions. Each hook reads rules again, so rule edits apply to the next checkpoint without a runtime refresh.

Required fields: name, event, conditions, message. Optional: enabled (default true), action (warn by default, or block), and tools (exact names). Events: InputSubmitted, PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop. PostToolUse supports warnings only because the tool has already executed.

Each condition has field, operator, value; all conditions must match. Operators: equals, regex_match, contains, not_contains. Use Nosis paths such as tool_call.arguments.path, tool_call.arguments.content, tool_call.arguments.new_text, tool_call.arguments.patch, tool_call.arguments.command, input.text, or response. At Stop, the boolean field tests_passed checks current-turn execution facts: a recognized test command must have completed with exit code zero, without timing out. A background submission handle, transcript mention, or a previous turn does not count. This checks successful command completion, not test coverage or the contents of a test suite.

Inspect examples/ in this skill's plugin root for complete rule files. To analyze conversation patterns, delegate to repo-review-kit:conversation-analyzer and include the relevant conversation excerpts explicitly in its task.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Writing Rules AI skill do?

Create, inspect or update Hookify project rules for inputs, tool calls and completion checks.

Why use Writing Rules on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Writing Rules 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 Writing Rules in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/EvannZhongg/Nosis/tree/main/tests/nosis-plugin-testkit/skills/writing-rules. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Writing Rules?

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 Writing Rules?

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

Is the Writing Rules AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by EvannZhongg 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.
