setup

This skill should be used when user asks to "set up overleaf", "configure overleaf cookie", "overleaf auth failed", "overleaf 401", "overleaf session expired", "overleaf unauthorized", or needs to install or refresh their Overleaf session cookie for the overleaf-skills plugin.

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

Installation

Install the Setup 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/fcakyon/claude-codex-settings.git /tmp/claude-codex-settings
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-codex-settings/plugins/overleaf-skills/skills/setup .claude/skills/setup

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Setup 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 Setup 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 Setup 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.

Overleaf Skills Setup

Walk the user through pasting a fresh overleaf_session2 cookie into ~/.claude/overleaf-skills/cookie. Cookies slide ~5 days idle; users will hit this every few days.

Step 1: Status check

Check if ~/.claude/overleaf-skills/cookie already exists. If yes, run:

bash
python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/overleaf_reviews.py --check-auth

If OK <email>: tell user "Already configured, logged in as ". Ask via AskUserQuestion whether to refresh or keep.
If FAIL: tell user the stored cookie is expired and continue to Step 2.

Step 2: Show browser guide

Tell the user to grab the cookie from their browser. Give all three branches; pick none for them:

Chrome / Edge / Brave / Arc: Cmd+Option+I (mac) or F12 → Application tab → Storage → Cookies → https://www.overleaf.com → row where Name = overleaf_session2 → double-click Value cell → Cmd+A → Cmd+C.

Firefox: F12 → Storage tab (enable in DevTools settings if hidden) → Cookies → https://www.overleaf.com → click overleaf_session2 row → right-click → Copy Value.

Safari: Enable Develop menu (Settings → Advanced → Show features for web developers), then Cmd+Option+I → Storage → Cookies → www.overleaf.com → click overleaf_session2 row → copy from right-hand detail pane.

Add three warnings at the bottom:

The row name is overleaf_session2 (UNDERSCORE). A row named overleaf.session2 (DOT) is a stale legacy cookie that will not authenticate.
The cookie is HttpOnly — document.cookie in the JS console returns empty for it. The storage panel is the only path.
The value should start with s%3A and be ~80+ chars. If it starts with s%3Ac%3A1%3A, you're logged out — log into overleaf.com and re-grab.

Step 3: Capture

Use AskUserQuestion: "Do you have your overleaf_session2 cookie value ready?" with options "Yes, paste it now" and "Skip for now". The user pastes via the "Other" free-text field.

Step 4: Validate

Normalize the input: strip whitespace; if it does NOT start with overleaf_session2=, prepend it (accept bare value).

Reject (re-prompt with reason):

Starts with overleaf.session2= → "Overleaf renamed this cookie to overleaf_session2 (underscore). Re-grab the underscore row."
Value (after the =) starts with s%3Ac%3A1%3A → "That's an anonymous-visitor cookie. Log into overleaf.com first, then re-grab."
Value does not start with s%3A after the = → "Doesn't look like an Overleaf session cookie. Confirm you copied from the overleaf_session2 row on www.overleaf.com."
Total length under 80 chars → "Cookie looks truncated. Re-copy with Cmd+A inside the Value cell."
Contains newlines or quotes → "Strip the surrounding quotes/newlines."

Step 5: Write

bash
mkdir -p ~/.claude/overleaf-skills
[ -f ~/.claude/overleaf-skills/cookie ] && cp ~/.claude/overleaf-skills/cookie ~/.claude/overleaf-skills/cookie.backup
# Write the normalized value (one line, no trailing newline beyond what's natural)
printf '%s\n' "<normalized-cookie>" > ~/.claude/overleaf-skills/cookie
chmod 600 ~/.claude/overleaf-skills/cookie

Step 6: Verify

bash
python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/overleaf_reviews.py --check-auth

If OK <email>: report "Configured. Logged in as ." Done.
If FAIL: restore from cookie.backup if it exists (mv ~/.claude/overleaf-skills/cookie.backup ~/.claude/overleaf-skills/cookie), tell user the new cookie did not authenticate, loop back to Step 2.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Setup AI skill do?

Why use Setup on TypingMind?

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

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

Which AI models can use Setup?

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 Setup?

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

Is the Setup AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by fcakyon under the Apache-2.0 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.
