  • 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 fengshao1227 on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Liquid Glass 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.
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/fengshao1227/ccg-workflow.git /tmp/ccg-workflow
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/ccg-workflow/templates/skills/domains/frontend-design/liquid-glass .claude/skills/liquid-glass
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Liquid Glass 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 Liquid Glass 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 Liquid Glass 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.

Liquid Glass Design System

Apple-inspired translucent glass UI with depth, refraction, and ambient light response.

Core Principles

  1. Translucency — Surfaces reveal layered content beneath via backdrop blur
  2. Depth — Elements float on distinct z-layers with realistic shadows
  3. Ambient Response — Glass tints shift based on underlying content color
  4. Minimal Chrome — Borders are subtle; shape and blur define boundaries
  5. Motion — Transitions feel physical: spring-based, with inertia

Usage

Import the token file in your CSS:

css
@import 'references/tokens.css';

CSS Tokens Reference

All tokens are defined in references/tokens.css. Key categories:

CategoryPrefixExample
Glass backgrounds--lg-bg-*--lg-bg-primary
Blur--lg-blur-*--lg-blur-md
Borders--lg-border-*--lg-border-color
Shadows--lg-shadow-*--lg-shadow-elevated
Radius--lg-radius-*--lg-radius-lg
Animation--lg-duration-*--lg-duration-normal

Component Patterns

Glass Card

css
.glass-card {
  background: var(--lg-bg-primary);
  backdrop-filter: blur(var(--lg-blur-md));
  -webkit-backdrop-filter: blur(var(--lg-blur-md));
  border: 1px solid var(--lg-border-color);
  border-radius: var(--lg-radius-lg);
  box-shadow: var(--lg-shadow-elevated);
  transition: transform var(--lg-duration-normal) var(--lg-easing-spring);
}

.glass-card:hover {
  transform: translateY(-2px);
  box-shadow: var(--lg-shadow-high);
}

Glass Toolbar

css
.glass-toolbar {
  background: var(--lg-bg-toolbar);
  backdrop-filter: blur(var(--lg-blur-lg)) saturate(var(--lg-saturate));
  -webkit-backdrop-filter: blur(var(--lg-blur-lg)) saturate(var(--lg-saturate));
  border-bottom: 1px solid var(--lg-border-subtle);
}

Glass Button

css
.glass-btn {
  background: var(--lg-bg-interactive);
  backdrop-filter: blur(var(--lg-blur-sm));
  border: 1px solid var(--lg-border-color);
  border-radius: var(--lg-radius-md);
  transition: all var(--lg-duration-fast) var(--lg-easing-spring);
}

.glass-btn:active {
  transform: scale(0.97);
  background: var(--lg-bg-pressed);
}

Glass Modal Overlay

css
.glass-overlay {
  background: var(--lg-bg-scrim);
  backdrop-filter: blur(var(--lg-blur-xl));
}

.glass-modal {
  background: var(--lg-bg-elevated);
  border: 1px solid var(--lg-border-color);
  border-radius: var(--lg-radius-xl);
  box-shadow: var(--lg-shadow-high);
}

Dark / Light Mode

Tokens auto-switch via prefers-color-scheme. Light mode uses white-tinted glass; dark mode uses dark-tinted glass with higher blur to maintain readability.

css
/* Force a mode on a subtree */
.light-glass { color-scheme: light; }
.dark-glass  { color-scheme: dark; }

Animations

Use spring-based easing for physical feel:

css
/* Entry */
@keyframes glass-enter {
  from { opacity: 0; transform: scale(0.95) translateY(8px); }
  to   { opacity: 1; transform: scale(1) translateY(0); }
}

.glass-animate-in {
  animation: glass-enter var(--lg-duration-normal) var(--lg-easing-spring) both;
}

Accessibility

  • Ensure contrast-ratio ≥ 4.5:1 for text over glass surfaces
  • Respect prefers-reduced-motion — disable blur animations, use opacity-only transitions
  • Provide prefers-contrast: high overrides that replace translucent backgrounds with solid ones

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 Liquid Glass AI skill do?

Apple Liquid Glass design system. Use when building UI with translucent, depth-aware glass morphism following Apple's design language. Provides CSS tokens, component patterns, dark/light mode, and animation specs.

Why use Liquid Glass on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/fengshao1227/ccg-workflow/tree/main/templates/skills/domains/frontend-design/liquid-glass. 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 Liquid Glass?

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 Liquid Glass?

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

Is the Liquid Glass AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by fengshao1227 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.
