  • 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 Felo-Inc on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Felo Search 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.
    https://github.com/Felo-Inc/felo-skills/tree/main/felo-search
  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.
2

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/Felo-Inc/felo-skills.git /tmp/felo-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/felo-skills/felo-search .claude/skills/felo-search
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Felo Search 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 Felo Search 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 Felo Search 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.

Felo Search Skill

When to Use

Trigger this skill for questions requiring current or real-time information:

  • Current events & news: Recent developments, trending topics, breaking news
  • Real-time data: Weather, stock prices, exchange rates, sports scores
  • Information queries: "What is...", "Tell me about...", product reviews, comparisons, recommendations
  • Location-based: Restaurants, travel destinations, local attractions, things to do
  • How-to guides: Tutorials, step-by-step instructions, best practices
  • Shopping & prices: Product prices, deals, "where to buy"
  • Trends & statistics: Market trends, rankings, data analysis
  • Any question where Claude's knowledge may be outdated

Trigger words:

  • 简体中文: 最近、什么、哪里、怎么样、如何、查、搜、找、推荐、比较、新闻、天气
  • 繁體中文: 最近、什麼、哪裡、怎麼樣、如何、查、搜、找、推薦、比較、新聞、天氣
  • 日本語: 最近、何、どこ、どう、検索、探す、おすすめ、比較、ニュース、天気
  • English: latest, recent, what, where, how, best, search, find, compare, news, weather

Explicit commands: /felo-search, "search with felo", "felo search"

Do NOT use for:

  • Code questions about the user's codebase (unless asking about external libraries/docs)
  • Pure mathematical calculations or logical reasoning
  • Questions about files in the current project

Setup

1. Get Your API Key

  1. Visit felo.ai and log in (or register)
  2. Click your avatar in the top right corner → Settings
  3. Navigate to the "API Keys" tab
  4. Click "Create New Key" to generate a new API Key
  5. Copy and save your API Key securely

2. Configure API Key

Set the FELO_API_KEY environment variable:

Linux/macOS:

bash
export FELO_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

Windows (PowerShell):

powershell
$env:FELO_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

Windows (CMD):

cmd
set FELO_API_KEY=your-api-key-here

For permanent configuration, add it to your shell profile (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc) or system environment variables.

How to Execute

When this skill is triggered, execute the search script using the Bash tool:

bash
~/.agents/skills/felo-search/scripts/search.sh "USER_QUERY_HERE"

Notes:

  • Replace USER_QUERY_HERE with the actual user query
  • The script handles API key validation, JSON escaping, and API calls
  • Supports all special characters, Unicode (Chinese, Japanese, etc.), and quotes

Parse and Format Response

The API returns JSON with this structure:

json
{
  "answer": "AI-generated answer text",
  "query_analysis": ["optimized query 1", "optimized query 2"]
}

Present the response to the user in this format:

## Answer
[Display the answer field]

## Query Analysis
Optimized search terms: [list query_analysis items]

Complete Examples

Example 1: Weather query

Frequently asked questions

What does the Felo Search AI skill do?

Felo AI real-time web search for questions requiring current/live information. Triggers on current events, news, trends, real-time data, information queries, location queries, how-to guides, shopping, or when Claude's knowledge may be outdated.

Why use Felo Search on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Felo-Inc/felo-skills/tree/main/felo-search. 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 Felo Search?

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 Felo Search?

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

Is the Felo Search AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by Felo-Inc. 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.
