Covers both English and Chinese internet ecosystems. Includes CLI tool workflows (yt-dlp, aria2, gallery-dl, spotdl), resource site directories, cloud drive search engines (百度/阿里/夸克网盘搜索), and search techniques (Google dorks). Use when the user wants to: (1) download a video, audio, or media from a URL, (2) find and download an ebook or academic paper, (3) find and download software, (4) search for any digital resource, (5) batch download images or media from a gallery/site, (6) download torrents or magnet links, (7) find free stock assets (images, video, audio, fonts), (8) search Chinese cloud drives for resources, or (9) any task involving finding or downloading digital content from the internet.

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.
16 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by hAcKlyc on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Download Anything 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/hAcKlyc/MyAgents/tree/main/bundled-skills/download-anything
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/hAcKlyc/MyAgents.git /tmp/MyAgents
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/MyAgents/bundled-skills/download-anything .claude/skills/download-anything

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Download Anything 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 Download Anything 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 Download Anything 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.

Download Anything

Find it. Download it. Any resource, any format.

# Best quality video
yt-dlp -f "bv*+ba/b" "URL"

# 1080p video + subtitles
yt-dlp -f "bv[height<=1080]+ba/b" --write-subs --sub-langs "en,zh" "URL"

# Extract audio as MP3
yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 "URL"

# Download YouTube playlist
yt-dlp --yes-playlist "URL"

# Fast file download (16 connections)
aria2c -x16 -s16 -k1M "URL"

# Download magnet
aria2c --seed-time=0 "magnet:?xt=..."

# Batch images from gallery
gallery-dl "URL"

# Spotify album → local MP3s
spotdl "SPOTIFY_URL"

# All PDFs from a page
wget -r -l1 -A "*.pdf" "URL"

# Video metadata as JSON (automation)
yt-dlp -j "URL"

# Get direct URL without downloading
yt-dlp -g "URL"

Agent Automation Patterns

Video pipeline: yt-dlp -j URL → parse JSON → select format → yt-dlp -f FORMAT URL -o OUTPUT

Ebook search: Search Anna's Archive / Z-Library / 鸠摩搜书 → get download page → extract link → aria2c

Bulk media: gallery-dl --dump-json URL → review items → gallery-dl -d OUTPUT URL

Music: spotdl SPOTIFY_URL (auto YouTube match + metadata) or yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 YOUTUBE_URL

Domain Instability

Many resource sites rotate domains. When a URL fails:

Search: [site name] mirror 2026 or [站名] 最新地址
Check Reddit/Twitter for community mirror lists
Anna's Archive = most resilient ebook meta-search
For Chinese cloud search: check 网盘之家导航 for latest links

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 Download Anything AI skill do?

Why use Download Anything on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Download Anything 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 Download Anything in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/hAcKlyc/MyAgents/tree/main/bundled-skills/download-anything. 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 Download Anything?

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 Download Anything?

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

Is the Download Anything AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by hAcKlyc under the AGPL-3.0 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.
