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

Installation

Install the Follow Up 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.
    https://github.com/humanizerai/agent-skills/tree/main/skills/follow-up
  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/humanizerai/agent-skills.git /tmp/agent-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/agent-skills/skills/follow-up .claude/skills/follow-up
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Follow Up 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 Follow Up 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 Follow Up 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.

Write Follow-Up Email

Generate a follow-up email that re-engages prospects who didn't respond.

Input

Parse $ARGUMENTS for:

  • Original email or context of first outreach
  • Days since last email: How long ago was it sent
  • Follow-up number: Is this #1, #2, or #3?
  • New context (optional): News, trigger events, new value to offer

If original context is missing, ask for the key points from the first email.

Strategy by Follow-Up Number

Follow-up #1 (3-5 days after)

  • Assume they're busy, not uninterested
  • Add new value or angle
  • Keep it shorter than original

Follow-up #2 (7-10 days after)

  • Try a different approach
  • Share a relevant insight or resource
  • Reframe the value prop

Follow-up #3 (14+ days after)

  • "Break-up" email or permission-based close
  • Give them an easy out
  • Last attempt before moving on

Frameworks

The Bump

  • Quick, friendly nudge
  • "Floating this back up" energy
  • Best for follow-up #1

The Value-Add

  • Share something useful (article, insight, idea)
  • Shows you're thinking about their problems
  • Best for follow-up #2

The Breakup

  • "Should I close your file?"
  • Creates urgency without pressure
  • Best for follow-up #3

Hard Rules

  1. Shorter than original - Each follow-up gets shorter
  2. New angle: Don't just repeat the first email
  3. No guilt trips: "I haven't heard back" sounds needy
  4. No "just checking in": Empty phrase, add value instead
  5. Reference original: Brief callback to first email
  6. One CTA: Same or simplified ask
  7. 30-75 words max: Follow-ups should be scannable

What NOT to Write

  • "I wanted to follow up on my last email" (weak opener)
  • "I'm sure you're busy but..." (apologetic)
  • Resending the exact same email
  • Being passive-aggressive about no response
  • Multiple CTAs or new complex asks

Output Format

Subject: Re: [original subject] or [new short subject]

[Email body]

[First name]

Framework used: [which one] What's different: [how this differs from original] Word count: [number]

Frequently asked questions

What does the Follow Up AI skill do?

Write follow-up emails that re-engage without being annoying. Uses proven psychology for follow-up sequences. 42% of replies come from follow-ups.

Why use Follow Up on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Follow Up 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 Follow Up in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/humanizerai/agent-skills/tree/main/skills/follow-up. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Follow Up?

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 Follow Up?

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

Is the Follow Up AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by humanizerai 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.
