  • 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 guia-matthieu on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Expert Secrets 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/guia-matthieu/clawfu-skills.git /tmp/clawfu-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/clawfu-skills/skills/content/expert-secrets .claude/skills/expert-secrets
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Expert Secrets 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 Expert Secrets 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 Expert Secrets 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.

Methodology Foundation

AspectDetails
SourceRussell Brunson — Expert Secrets (2017)
Core PrincipleEvery mass movement has three elements: a charismatic leader, a new opportunity (not improvement), and a future-based cause
Key InsightPeople don't want to fix what's broken — they want a new vehicle for achieving their desires

Instructions

Part 1: Create Your Mass Movement

Three required elements:

1. Charismatic Leader — Choose your type:

  • The Leader — Lead by example, demonstrate success (best when you've achieved results)
  • The Adventurer — Take followers on a journey (best when discovering alongside audience)
  • The Reporter — Bridge between experts and audience (best when newer but passionate)

2. New Opportunity — Design a vehicle switch, not an improvement offer:

  • Identify the result your audience wants
  • Identify their current vehicle (what they're doing now)
  • Create your opportunity switch (new vehicle with a proprietary name)
  • Key: "It's not about eating less, it's about eating right for YOUR metabolism"

3. Future-Based Cause — Unite the tribe:

  • Create a rallying cry/slogan
  • Name your tribe (e.g., "Funnel Hackers")
  • Write an "I am ___" identity statement
  • Design milestone awards for progress

Part 2: Break False Beliefs

Find the Big Domino — the ONE belief that makes buying inevitable:

"If I can make people believe that [new opportunity] is the key to [desired result] and is only available through [my framework], then all other objections become irrelevant."

Then break three false belief patterns using Epiphany Bridge stories:

Belief TypeWhat It IsStory Structure
Vehicle"This approach doesn't work"Backstory → Wall → Epiphany → Transformation
Internal"I can't do this"Same structure, focused on self-doubt
External"My circumstances prevent this"Same structure, focused on obstacles

Part 3: Structure the Perfect Webinar

SectionDurationContent
Intro5-10 minHook with promise, establish credibility, preview offer
Secret #115-20 minThe One Thing — breaks Vehicle belief
Secret #215-20 minThe Hidden Benefit — breaks Internal belief
Secret #315-20 minThe New Opportunity — breaks External belief
Stack & Close20-30 minPresent Stack Slide, trial closes, urgency, CTA

Trial closes throughout: "Can you see why this is important?" → "Can you see how this could work for you?" → Pattern of "yes" makes final purchase natural.

Part 4: Build the Stack Slide

  1. Define core offer
  2. Add bonuses addressing each false belief
  3. Add fast-action bonus
  4. Assign value to each element (total should be 10x the price)
  5. Reveal actual price after building full value

Part 5: Design the Value Ladder

Package expertise at multiple price points:

LevelFormatFulfillment
FreeContent, lead magnetDIY
$7-27BookDIY
$97-997Online courseDIY
$997-2,997Group coachingDo it with you
$10K+Mastermind / 1-on-1Done for you

Validation checkpoint: Before building higher-tier offers, verify you have testimonials and case studies from lower tiers.

Examples

Example: Fitness Coach

  • Leader type: Adventurer ("I was 50 lbs overweight, tried everything, until I discovered...")
  • New opportunity: "The Metabolic Reset Method" (not "fix your diet")
  • Tribe: "Reset Warriors"
  • Big Domino: Hormone optimization → lasting weight loss → only through Metabolic Reset
  • Stack: 12-Week Program ($1,997 value) + Hormone Guide ($297) + Meal Templates ($197) + Community ($497) + Kickoff Call ($297) = $3,285 value → Price: $497

Frequently asked questions

What does the Expert Secrets AI skill do?

Apply Russell Brunson's Expert Secrets framework to build a mass movement around expertise — create a charismatic leader persona, design a new-opportunity offer, craft belief-breaking stories, and structure a Perfect Webinar that converts.

Why use Expert Secrets on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Expert Secrets 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 Expert Secrets in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/guia-matthieu/clawfu-skills/tree/main/skills/content/expert-secrets. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Expert Secrets?

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 Expert Secrets?

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

Is the Expert Secrets AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by guia-matthieu 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.
