Apply Typography Scale

Q: Why use Apply Typography Scale on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Apply Typography Scale 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.

Q: How do I install Apply Typography Scale in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/gnurio/refactoring-ui-plugin/tree/main/skills/02-apply-typography-scale. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Q: Which AI models can use Apply Typography Scale?

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.

Q: How many AI models can I use with Apply Typography Scale?

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

Q: Is the Apply Typography Scale AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by gnurio. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

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

Installation

Install the Apply Typography Scale 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/gnurio/refactoring-ui-plugin/tree/main/skills/02-apply-typography-scale
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

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/gnurio/refactoring-ui-plugin.git /tmp/refactoring-ui-plugin
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/refactoring-ui-plugin/skills/02-apply-typography-scale .claude/skills/apply-typography-scale

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Apply Typography Scale 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 Apply Typography Scale 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 Apply Typography Scale 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.

Skill: Apply Typography Scale

Purpose

Create clear typographic hierarchy using a hand-crafted set of font sizes, weights, and colors.

Core Rules

Hand-crafted, not mathematical — Avoid modular scales with fractional pixels
Use px or rem, never em — Prevents compounding issues
Minimum 25% jumps — 16px → 20px (25%), not 16px → 18px (12.5%)
Two weights only — 400/500 normal, 600/700 bold
Never < 400 for UI — Too hard to read at small sizes

Recommended Scales

Marketing Page


Hero:     48-60px,  weight 700,  line-height 1.1
H1:       36-40px,  weight 700,  line-height 1.2
H2:       28-32px,  weight 600,  line-height 1.3
Body:     16-18px,  weight 400,  line-height 1.6
Small:    14px,     weight 400,  line-height 1.6
Caption:  12px,     weight 400,  line-height 1.5

Application/Dense UI


H1:     30-36px,  weight 700
H2:     24px,     weight 600
H3:     20px,     weight 600
H4:     16px,     weight 600
Body:   14-16px,  weight 400
Small:  12-13px,  weight 400

Line-Height Rules

Inverse proportion to size:

Small text (12-14px): 1.6-1.7 (needs help finding next line)
Body text (16px): 1.5-1.6
Large headlines (30px+): 1-1.2 (needs less help)

Line Length

Optimal: 45-75 characters per line
Max-width: 20-35em for paragraphs
Wide paragraphs: Increase line-height to 1.8-2.0

Decision Criteria

PASS

Scale uses a small set of intentional sizes with clear jumps between roles
Type hierarchy combines size, weight, line-height, and color
Body text remains readable across marketing, app, and content contexts
Line length and line-height fit the reading context

FAIL

Scale relies on tiny increments that do not create hierarchy
Font weights are too light for UI text
Long-form text lines are too wide or cramped
em sizing compounds unpredictably in nested elements

Common Failure Modes

Failure	Example	Fix
Em units	`1.25em` parent, `0.875em` child = 17.5px	Use `px` or `rem`
Micro-steps	16px, 18px, 20px	16px, 20px, 28px
Weight 300	Light body text	Minimum 400
Long lines	100+ characters	Constrain to 35em
Uniform line-height	1.5 for all	Vary by size

Examples
