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

Installation

Install the Gdd Pin 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/hegemonart/get-design-done/tree/main/scripts/skill-templates/pin
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/hegemonart/get-design-done.git /tmp/get-design-done
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/get-design-done/scripts/skill-templates/pin .claude/skills/gdd-pin

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Gdd Pin 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 Gdd Pin 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 Gdd Pin 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.

{{command_prefix}}pin

Role: Write a standalone shortcut alias (a small SKILL.md stub) for one gdd skill into every installed harness skills/ directory, so that skill is directly discoverable as its own command in each runtime (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, and the rest).

Each pinned stub starts with the marker line , then carries frontmatter (name, description, argument-hint, tools) pulled from the manifest source of truth, then a one-line body pointing back at the canonical skill. Stubs are written atomically (temp file plus rename), so a failed write never leaves a half-written file.

Steps

Read the argument. The skill name to pin comes from $ARGUMENTS (for example darkmode). If it is empty, ask the user which skill to pin and stop.

Run the pin CLI. Invoke the shipped script, passing the skill name. The plugin root resolves via CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT (falling back to the current directory when that variable is absent):

bash
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(pwd)}/scripts/lib/pin/cli.cjs" pin "<skill-name>"

The CLI detects every harness skills/ directory that exists under the current project (.claude/skills, .cursor/skills, and so on) and writes the stub into each. Pass --user to also create the harness directories that do not exist yet:

bash
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(pwd)}/scripts/lib/pin/cli.cjs" pin "<skill-name>" --user

Report the result. The CLI prints one line per harness it wrote to, plus any skips. Relay that summary verbatim. Exit codes: 0 means at least one stub was written, 1 means nothing was written (no harness dirs found, suggest --user), 2 means an error (for example an unknown skill name).

Do Not

Do not hand-write the stub files. Always go through the CLI so the marker, the manifest-sourced frontmatter, and the atomic write stay consistent.
Do not pin a skill that is not in the manifest. The CLI rejects unknown skill names with exit code 2; surface that error rather than inventing a stub.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Gdd Pin AI skill do?

Writes standalone shortcut aliases for a gdd skill across installed harness skill dirs. Use when you want a skill directly discoverable as its own command in every installed runtime.

Why use Gdd Pin on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Gdd Pin 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 Gdd Pin in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/hegemonart/get-design-done/tree/main/scripts/skill-templates/pin. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Gdd Pin?

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 Gdd Pin?

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

Is the Gdd Pin AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by hegemonart 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.
