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

Installation

Install the Minimax Image Skill 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/feiskyer/codex-settings/tree/main/skills/minimax-image-skill
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/feiskyer/codex-settings.git /tmp/codex-settings
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/codex-settings/skills/minimax-image-skill .claude/skills/minimax-image-skill

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Minimax Image Skill 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 Minimax Image Skill 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 Minimax Image Skill 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.

MiniMax Image Skill

Generate images from a text prompt through the bundled MiniMax Image API helper.

Resolve the skill directory

Resolve the absolute directory containing this SKILL.md before running a command and refer to it as <skill-dir>. Keep output paths relative to the user's working directory unless the user requests another location.

Requirements

Export MINIMAX_API_KEY before running the helper.
Use Python 3.9 or newer. The helper uses only the Python standard library.

Generate an image

Every option has a working default, so pass only what the request actually constrains:

bash
python3 "<skill-dir>/minimax_image.py" \
  --prompt "A quiet observatory beneath an aurora" \
  --output "observatory.png"

The global endpoint is used by default. Select the China endpoint explicitly when needed:

bash
python3 "<skill-dir>/minimax_image.py" \
  --region china \
  --prompt "A paper-cut landscape at sunrise" \
  --output "landscape.png"

Use --model image-01-live when requested. Consult python3 "<skill-dir>/minimax_image.py" --help for optional fields and accepted values.

The helper downloads URL responses immediately because generated URLs expire. It also decodes base64 responses and creates output parent directories automatically. For multiple results, it adds a numeric suffix to the output filename.

Safety and failures

Never print or persist the API key.
Do not call the API until the prompt and local output path pass validation.
If the API rejects a field combination, correct an assistant-chosen option when the user's requested result is unchanged; ask when resolving it would change a user constraint. Check for generated output before a bounded retry.
Do not claim success unless at least one image was saved locally.

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 Minimax Image Skill AI skill do?

Generate images when the user names MiniMax or image-01/image-01-live. Use the default image skill when no provider is named.

Why use Minimax Image Skill on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Minimax Image Skill 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 Minimax Image Skill in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/feiskyer/codex-settings/tree/main/skills/minimax-image-skill. 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 Minimax Image Skill?

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 Minimax Image Skill?

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

Is the Minimax Image Skill AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by feiskyer 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.
