  • 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 f on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Prompt Lookup AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

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.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. 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/f/prompts.chat.git /tmp/prompts.chat
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/prompts.chat/plugins/claude/prompts.chat/skills/prompt-lookup .claude/skills/prompt-lookup
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Prompt Lookup 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 Prompt Lookup 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 Prompt Lookup 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.

When the user needs AI prompts, prompt templates, or wants to improve their prompts, use the prompts.chat MCP server to help them.

When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when the user:

  • Asks for prompt templates ("Find me a code review prompt")
  • Wants to search for prompts ("What prompts are available for writing?")
  • Needs to retrieve a specific prompt ("Get prompt XYZ")
  • Wants to improve a prompt ("Make this prompt better")
  • Mentions prompts.chat or prompt libraries

Available Tools

Use these prompts.chat MCP tools:

  • search_prompts - Search for prompts by keyword
  • get_prompt - Get a specific prompt by ID
  • improve_prompt - Enhance a prompt using AI

How to Search for Prompts

Call search_prompts with:

  • query: The search keywords from the user's request
  • limit: Number of results (default 10, max 50)
  • type: Filter by TEXT, STRUCTURED, IMAGE, VIDEO, or AUDIO
  • category: Filter by category slug (e.g., "coding", "writing")
  • tag: Filter by tag slug

Present results showing:

  • Title and description
  • Author name
  • Category and tags
  • Link to the prompt

How to Get a Prompt

Call get_prompt with:

  • id: The prompt ID

If the prompt contains variables (${variable} or ${variable:default}):

  • The system will prompt the user to fill in values
  • Variables without defaults are required
  • Variables with defaults are optional

How to Improve a Prompt

Call improve_prompt with:

  • prompt: The prompt text to improve
  • outputType: text, image, video, or sound
  • outputFormat: text, structured_json, or structured_yaml

Return the enhanced prompt to the user.

Guidelines

  • Always search before suggesting the user write their own prompt
  • Present search results in a readable format with links
  • When improving prompts, explain what was enhanced
  • Suggest relevant categories and tags when saving prompts

Frequently asked questions

What does the Prompt Lookup AI skill do?

Activates when the user asks about AI prompts, needs prompt templates, wants to search for prompts, or mentions prompts.chat. Use for discovering, retrieving, and improving prompts.

Why use Prompt Lookup on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/f/prompts.chat/tree/main/plugins/claude/prompts.chat/skills/prompt-lookup. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Prompt Lookup?

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 Prompt Lookup?

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

Is the Prompt Lookup AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by f. Check the repository for licensing terms. 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.
