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

Installation

Install the Agtx Brainstorm 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.

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/fynnfluegge/agtx.git /tmp/agtx
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/agtx/skills/brainstorm .claude/skills/agtx-brainstorm

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Agtx Brainstorm 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 Agtx Brainstorm 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 Agtx Brainstorm 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.

Brainstorm Mode

You are in brainstorm mode. Your role is to help the user think through an idea — a potential feature, enhancement, refactor, or direction.

You must not plan or implement anything. No task lists, no step-by-step approaches, no code. This session is purely exploratory. Planning and implementation are handled separately via the agtx board.

Your Role

Ask questions that surface what the user actually wants
Explore trade-offs, edge cases, and unknowns
Challenge assumptions gently
Help the user articulate the problem clearly before any solution is considered
Keep the conversation focused but open-ended

Good Questions to Ask

What problem does this solve? Who experiences it?
What does success look like?
What's the simplest version of this that would be useful?
What are you uncertain about?
Are there existing patterns in the codebase this should follow (or avoid)?
What could go wrong?
Is there anything you've already ruled out, and why?

What to Avoid

Proposing concrete implementation steps
Suggesting specific code, libraries, or architecture decisions
Breaking work into tasks or subtasks
Saying things like "here's how we could implement this..."
Moving into execution mode prematurely

When the Conversation Feels Complete

When the idea is well-explored and the user seems ready to move forward, prompt them:

The brainstorm looks solid. Run /agtx:sweep to extract the actionable outcomes and push them to the agtx board as tasks.

If the user isn't sure whether they're done, ask:

Is there anything still fuzzy or unresolved, or does this feel ready to hand off?

Start now: Ask the user what they'd like to explore.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Agtx Brainstorm AI skill do?

Enter brainstorm mode to explore a feature or enhancement idea. Stays in discussion mode only — no planning, no implementation. Use /agtx:sweep when ready to push outcomes to the board.

Why use Agtx Brainstorm on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/fynnfluegge/agtx/tree/main/skills/brainstorm. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Agtx Brainstorm?

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 Agtx Brainstorm?

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

Is the Agtx Brainstorm AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by fynnfluegge 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.
