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 Gentleman-Programming on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Comment Writer 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.

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/Gentleman-Programming/gentle-ai.git /tmp/gentle-ai
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/gentle-ai/internal/assets/skills/comment-writer .claude/skills/comment-writer

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Comment Writer 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 Comment Writer 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 Comment Writer 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.

When to Use

Load this skill whenever you write a comment that another human will read.

Use it for:

GitHub PR or issue comments.
Review feedback and requested changes.
Maintainer replies.
Slack, Discord, or async project updates.

Voice Rules

Rule	Requirement
Be useful fast	Start with the actionable point. Do not recap the whole PR before feedback.
Be warm and direct	Sound like a thoughtful teammate, not a corporate bot.
Keep it short	Prefer 1 to 3 short paragraphs or a tight bullet list.
Explain why	Give the technical reason when asking for a change.
Avoid pile-ons	Comment on the highest-value issue, not every tiny preference.
Match target context language	Write in the target context language by default: Spanish issue/thread -> Spanish comment, English issue/thread -> English comment, mixed context -> target message language. If the user explicitly requests a language or tone, follow that request. For Spanish comments, use neutral/professional Spanish by default unless the user or target context clearly calls for regional tone.
No em dashes	Use commas, periods, or parentheses instead.

Comment Formula

text
<Direct observation or request>

<Why it matters, only if needed>

<Concrete next action>

Examples

Request change

markdown
Good approach overall. I'd split this into a separate commit because it mixes validation logic with UI wiring.

That keeps the reviewer's focus narrower and makes rollback cleaner if the integration fails.

Approve with a note

markdown
Approved. The scope is clear and the change is well-contained.

For the next PR, add links to the previous and following PRs so the chain stays navigable.

Ask for split

markdown
This PR exceeds the 400-line budget, so we need to split it or justify `size:exception`.

Suggested order: foundation + tests first, then integration, then docs. That gives each review a clear start and end.

Commands

bash
# Inspect a PR before writing review feedback
gh pr view <PR_NUMBER> --json title,body,additions,deletions,changedFiles

Frequently asked questions

What does the Comment Writer AI skill do?

Write warm, direct collaboration comments. Trigger: PR feedback, issue replies, reviews, Slack messages, or GitHub comments.

Why use Comment Writer on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Gentleman-Programming/gentle-ai/tree/main/internal/assets/skills/comment-writer. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Comment Writer?

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 Comment Writer?

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

Is the Comment Writer AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Gentleman-Programming 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.
