  • 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 Hmbown on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Unseen Servant 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/Hmbown/Wizards-of-the-Ghosts.git /tmp/Wizards-of-the-Ghosts
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/Wizards-of-the-Ghosts/generated/hermes/actions-access-and-automation/unseen-servant .claude/skills/unseen-servant
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Unseen Servant 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 Unseen Servant 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 Unseen Servant 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.

Unseen Servant

Run a persistent background agent that handles mundane, repeating tasks silently.

What This Skill Does

Use this spell when you need a tireless helper that organizes, tidies, triages, and maintains without requiring your constant attention. In this grimoire, Unseen Servant is treated as a literal spell with a shipping-now delivery profile. Canonical reference input: Unseen Servant (spell).

When To Use

  • Routine maintenance tasks keep piling up: dependency updates, stale branch cleanup, inbox triage, log rotation.
  • You want a helper that runs continuously in the background and only surfaces when something needs your attention.
  • The work is important but low-priority - it should happen reliably without competing for your focus.

Prerequisites

  • No extra runtime dependencies beyond Hermes Agent and the normal toolset for this session.

Procedure

  1. Restate the target, the success condition, and any no-touch boundaries before taking action.
  2. Define the servant's mandate: which tasks, which surfaces, and what scope boundaries.
  3. Configure the cadence - continuous, periodic, or event-triggered.
  4. Let the servant operate silently, logging its actions for later review.
  5. Review the activity log periodically and adjust the mandate or dismiss the servant when done.
  6. Stop for explicit confirmation before taking a live action that changes access, triggers an alert, or touches a real system boundary.
  7. Package the result as the deliverables below, with confidence, assumptions, and unresolved risk called out explicitly.

Deliverables

  • A running background process or agent loop with a clear task mandate.
  • An activity log of everything the servant touched, with timestamps.
  • A dismiss or pause mechanism so the user stays in control.

Pitfalls / Guardrails

  • Treat the live action surface as real operational work, not decorative lore.
  • The servant does not expand its own mandate - it only touches what the user pre-approved.
  • All actions must be logged and reviewable. Silent operation does not mean unaccountable operation.
  • Provide a clear dismiss mechanism - the user must always be able to stop the servant immediately.

Verification

  • Check that the result includes every deliverable promised above.
  • Check that confirmed facts, assumptions, and inferences are visibly separated.
  • Check that the exact live target, confirmation gate, and rollback or recovery path are explicit.

Example Invocation

text
/unseen-servant set up a background agent for this recurring task, with a clear mandate, activity log, and kill switch

Frequently asked questions

What does the Unseen Servant AI skill do?

Use this spell when you need a tireless helper that organizes, tidies, triages, and maintains without requiring your constant attention.

Why use Unseen Servant on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Unseen Servant 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 Unseen Servant in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Hmbown/Wizards-of-the-Ghosts/tree/main/generated/hermes/actions-access-and-automation/unseen-servant. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Unseen Servant?

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 Unseen Servant?

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

Is the Unseen Servant AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Hmbown under the CC0-1.0 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.
