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

Installation

Install the Search Skill 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/GBSOSS/skill-from-masters.git /tmp/skill-from-masters
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skill-from-masters/skills/search-skill .claude/skills/search-skill
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Search 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 Search 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 Search 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.

Search Skill

Search and recommend Claude Code Skills from trusted marketplaces based on user requirements.

When to Use

When users describe a need and want to find an existing Skill to solve it.

Examples:

  • "Is there a skill that can auto-generate changelogs?"
  • "Find me a skill for frontend design"
  • "I need a skill that can automate browser actions"

Search Process

Step 1: Parse User Intent

Extract from user description:

  • Core functionality keywords (e.g., changelog, browser, frontend)
  • Use case (e.g., development, testing, design)
  • Special requirements (e.g., language support, specific framework)

Step 2: Multi-Source Search

IMPORTANT: Only search these 6 sources. Do NOT search the entire internet.

Search by priority:

1. Search Tier 1 (official/high trust) first
2. If fewer than 5 results, continue to Tier 2
3. If still insufficient, search Tier 2.5 (ClawHub - large volume, check quality)
4. If still insufficient, search Tier 3 with strict filtering
5. If still nothing found, tell user honestly - do NOT expand to other sources

Allowed search queries (use site: to restrict):

site:github.com/anthropics/skills {keywords}
site:github.com/ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills {keywords}
site:github.com/travisvn/awesome-claude-skills {keywords}
site:skills.sh {keywords}
site:clawhub.ai {keywords}
site:skillsmp.com {keywords}

Search methods:

  • GitHub repos: Use site:github.com/{repo} to restrict search scope
  • skills.sh: WebFetch to scrape search results from skills.sh only
  • ClawHub: WebFetch clawhub.ai/skills?q={keywords} to search the registry
  • skillsmp.com: WebFetch with additional verification

Do NOT:

  • Search the entire web
  • Use broad queries without site: restriction
  • Include results from unknown sources

Step 3: Quality Filtering (Critical)

Must filter out the following:

Filter ConditionReason
GitHub stars < 10Not community verified
Last update > 6 months agoPossibly abandoned
No SKILL.md fileNon-standard format
README too sparseQuality concerns
Contains suspicious code patternsSecurity risk

Security checks:

  • Requests sensitive permissions (e.g., ~/.ssh, env variables)
  • External network requests to unknown domains
  • Contains eval() or dynamic code execution
  • Modifies system files

Step 4: Rank Results

Scoring formula:

Score = Source Weight × 0.4 + Stars Weight × 0.3 + Recency Weight × 0.2 + Relevance × 0.1

Source weights:
- Tier 1: 1.0
- Tier 2: 0.7
- Tier 2.5 (ClawHub): 0.55
- Tier 3: 0.4

Step 5: Format Output

Return Top 5-10 results:

### Not recommended (for reference only)
- [skill-name](url) - Reason: low stars / not maintained

Example

User: Is there a skill that helps write commit messages?

Search process:

  1. Extract keywords: commit, message, git
  2. Search Tier 1: Found git-commit-assistant in anthropics/skills
  3. Search Tier 2: Found semantic-commit in ComposioHQ
  4. Filter: Exclude results with stars < 10
  5. Rank: Official sources first

Output:

## Found 3 relevant Skills

### Recommended
1. **git-commit-assistant** - Source: anthropics/skills (official)
   - Function: Generate semantic commit messages
   - Install: `/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-code`

2. **semantic-commit** - Source: ComposioHQ
   - Function: Follow conventional commits spec
   - Stars: 890 | Last updated: 2 weeks ago

Important Notes

  1. Never recommend unverified Skills - Better to recommend fewer than to recommend risky ones
  2. Stay cautious with Tier 3 sources - Results from skillsmp.com must be double-checked
  3. If nothing suitable is found - Tell the user honestly, suggest using skill-from-masters to create their own
  4. Security concerns - Clearly inform users of risks, let them decide

Frequently asked questions

What does the Search Skill AI skill do?

Search and recommend Claude Code skills from trusted marketplaces

Why use Search Skill on TypingMind?

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

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

Which AI models can use Search 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 Search Skill?

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

Is the Search Skill AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by GBSOSS 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.
