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.
1 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by EveryInc on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Wtf 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/EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin/tree/main/skills/wtf
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/EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin.git /tmp/compound-engineering-plugin
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/compound-engineering-plugin/skills/wtf .claude/skills/wtf

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Wtf 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 Wtf 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 Wtf 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.

wtf

The user did not follow something. Explain it the way you would to a smart colleague who was not in the room.

Done: the user can say what the source means and what, if anything, they need to decide or do, without going back to the source.

What to explain

The text the user passed with the invocation decides the target:

Nothing passed: your most recent message.
A file path or a link: read it, then explain it.
A pasted passage: that passage.
A short pointer such as "the migration part" or "step 3": only that part of the conversation.

If the target is still unclear, ask one short question instead of guessing.

How to explain

Open with the point in one or two sentences: what this says and why the user should care. Write no preamble and no apology for the earlier wording.
Then say what it means for them: what happened, what state things are in, and anything they need to decide or do.
Explain the source; do not rewrite it. The explanation is shorter than the source because it leaves out whatever the user does not need in order to understand it or act on it. Do not walk a document section by section.
Use everyday words. When a technical term matters, keep it and say what it means once, in passing. Keep the exact file names, commands, and values the user will need to use.
Keep everything that changes what the user would do: failures, caveats, open questions, and requests. The explanation must not sound more positive or more certain than the source.
Add no claims the source does not make. If the source is vague or contradicts itself, say so. If re-reading your own message shows it was wrong, say that and correct it.
Plain does not mean childish. Do not force analogies, cheerlead, or talk down.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Wtf AI skill do?

Why use Wtf on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin/tree/main/skills/wtf. 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 Wtf?

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 Wtf?

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

Is the Wtf AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by EveryInc 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.
