get-started

Help someone start with Glif. Explain how it connects, check the connection and credits for free, and suggest what to make first. Use when the user asks what Glif is, how to set it up, whether it's connected, which account is connected, how many credits they have, or what Glif can do. Never starts generation.

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

Installation

Install the Get Started 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.
https://github.com/glifxyz/glif-mcp-server/tree/main/skills/get-started
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/glifxyz/glif-mcp-server.git /tmp/glif-mcp-server
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/glif-mcp-server/skills/get-started .claude/skills/get-started

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Get Started 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 Get Started 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 Get Started 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.

Help the user get oriented. The user's explicit instructions come first, within host safety rules.

Check the connection. If Glif's tools are available, call whoami; it's free and proves the connection works. If they're missing, help the user connect:
- Claude Code: claude plugin marketplace add glifxyz/glif-mcp-server, then claude plugin install glif@glif, then /mcp to sign in.
- Any other client: add the remote MCP server https://glif.app/api/mcp and sign in when the browser opens. https://glif.app/mcp has steps for each client. Never ask for passwords, API keys or sign-in codes in chat. A free account can be created at https://glif.app.
Explain what costs credits. Only compose_project spends the account's Glif credits. Connecting, browsing, choosing a reference and checking status are free. Video uses more credits than images. Glif decides the real cost when it runs. Plans and credits are managed at https://glif.app/pricing; never buy or upgrade in chat.
If the user asks which account or how many credits, report only the whoami fields they asked about, such as username, available credits or recent spend.
To browse, call list_projects, then get_project for the one they pick. Show media links from the result. If the host renders Glif's viewer, view_media can reopen saved media in it.
Explain how continuity works:
- A project keeps its messages and media. Passing its project_id to compose_project adds new work to the same project.
- A new reference file goes through upload_file. Its returned fileUrl goes in compose_project's attachments.
- Project IDs, job IDs, asset IDs and media URLs are different values. Do not swap them.
End with a choice that fits what the user is doing. Examples:
- In a codebase: "add a hero image and texture to this page", "make a logo and favicon set", "record a 30-second demo of this app", "make App Store screenshots", "add UI sounds".
- Anywhere: "make a YouTube thumbnail", "remove the background from this image", "create a character sheet", "make an explainer video", "generate a voiceover", "plan an ad campaign", "show my recent projects". Or show a draft brief for review.

Onboarding never calls compose_project, uploads files, or changes settings. Browsing, picking a reference or accepting a suggestion is not a request to generate. Show draft prompts as text and wait for an explicit "go".

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 Get Started AI skill do?

Why use Get Started on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Get Started 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 Get Started in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/glifxyz/glif-mcp-server/tree/main/skills/get-started. 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 Get Started?

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 Get Started?

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

Is the Get Started AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by glifxyz 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.
