  • 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 Firstp1ck on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Writer Revision 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/Firstp1ck/pi-coding-agent-forge/tree/main/pi-package-writer/skills/writer-revision
  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/Firstp1ck/pi-coding-agent-forge.git /tmp/pi-coding-agent-forge
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/pi-coding-agent-forge/pi-package-writer/skills/writer-revision .claude/skills/writer-revision
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Writer Revision 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 Writer Revision 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 Writer Revision 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.

Fiction revision

When to use

Use when prose is confusing, flat, repetitive, over-explained, structurally weak, or inconsistent with the intended voice.

Inputs and assumptions

Clarify review versus revision, the exact range, intended reader effect, and what must stay unchanged. Read the actual passage and relevant context.

Portable workflow

  1. Follow review guidance. Diagnose the highest-impact problem before polishing sentences.
  2. Separate structural, causal, character, viewpoint, pacing, style, and copy issues.
  3. Cite concrete passages. Explain the reader effect and propose repairs with trade-offs.
  4. When revision is authorized, preserve agreed facts and voice. Do not make every character concise, casual, or witty.
  5. Save a new revision file by default. Identify changes that affect later scenes and ask before propagating them.
  6. Compare the new passage with the original for omissions, invented facts, lost subtext, and flattened rhythm.
  7. Update saved progress only for authorized writing, following the project workflow.

Safety and side effects

A review request does not authorize edits, even to notes. Do not use AI-detector scores as a quality target or claim a rewrite guarantees human authorship or publication.

Scripts, references, and dependencies

No external dependencies. Style guidance helps preserve intentional language choices.

Verification

Show what improved, what was preserved, what changed materially, and any dependent passages left untouched. Read saved revisions back before reporting success.

Pi adapter

Use /writer review --target "chapters/chapter-0001.md" for critique or /writer revise --target "chapters/chapter-0001.md" --brief "Reduce explanation but keep the lyrical voice" for a new revision.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Writer Revision AI skill do?

Critique and revise fiction at structural, scene, line, or copy-editing scope while preserving voice, story facts, and original drafts.

Why use Writer Revision on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Firstp1ck/pi-coding-agent-forge/tree/main/pi-package-writer/skills/writer-revision. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Writer Revision?

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 Writer Revision?

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

Is the Writer Revision AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Firstp1ck 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.
