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

Installation

Install the Code Conventions 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/iflytek/skillhub/tree/main/.agents/skills/code-conventions
  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.

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/iflytek/skillhub.git /tmp/skillhub
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skillhub/.agents/skills/code-conventions .claude/skills/code-conventions
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Code Conventions 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 Code Conventions 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 Code Conventions 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.

Code Conventions Skill

Java / Backend Conventions

User Identity Type

User identity is always String throughout the codebase. This covers:

  • Authentication and authorization
  • API parameters and responses
  • Permission checks
  • Audit logs
  • Resource owner, creator, reviewer, actor, submittedBy fields

Never introduce int, long, or bigint as user identifiers. The platform needs to support external SSO/OIDC/SCIM identity sources whose UIDs are typically stable strings.

Exception Handling

  • Use LocalizedDomainException for user-facing error messages (supports i18n)
  • Use DomainBadRequestException for invalid client input
  • Use DomainNotFoundException for missing resources
  • Use DomainForbiddenException for authorization failures
  • Exception classes live in skillhub-domain/shared/exception/

Domain Services

  • Return domain objects, not DTOs
  • Contain business rules and state transitions
  • Use domain events for cross-cutting side effects (publishing, notifications)
  • Located in domain/{submodule}/service/

Controllers

  • Transport only: extract auth context, bind request params, wrap responses
  • No business logic in controllers
  • Located in com.iflytek.skillhub.controller/

Query Repositories

  • Handle read-model joins and presentation projection
  • Return DTOs or presentation models
  • Located in com.iflytek.skillhub.repository/
  • Named like *QueryRepository (e.g., GovernanceQueryRepository, MySkillQueryRepository)

App Services

  • Workflow orchestration: coordinate domain services and query repositories
  • Should express "what this endpoint does", not "how it assembles DTOs"
  • Located in com.iflytek.skillhub.service/

Logging

  • Use SLF4J with structured logging
  • Use MDC for request tracing
  • Log at appropriate levels: INFO for business events, DEBUG for troubleshooting, ERROR for failures

TypeScript / Frontend Conventions

Type Safety

  • Strict TypeScript mode. No any types.
  • Use generated OpenAPI types from web/src/api/generated/schema.d.ts for all API interactions.
  • Additional types in web/src/types/

Data Fetching

  • Always use TanStack Query (@tanstack/react-query) for server state
  • Never use useEffect for data fetching
  • Use openapi-fetch client for type-safe API calls

Component Composition

  • Radix UI primitives: @radix-ui/react-dropdown-menu, @radix-ui/react-select
  • class-variance-authority (cva) for component variants
  • clsx + tailwind-merge for class merging
  • cn() utility: web/src/shared/lib/utils.ts
  • shadcn/ui is NOT used as a library

State Management

  • TanStack Query for server state (API data, caching, invalidation)
  • Zustand for local/UI state (theme, sidebar, modals, form state)

Feature-Sliced Design

LayerPathPurpose
Pagesweb/src/pages/Route-level page components
Featuresweb/src/features/Self-contained business features
Entitiesweb/src/entities/Domain entity display logic
Sharedweb/src/shared/Reusable UI components, hooks, utilities

Place code at the lowest appropriate layer. Do not put page-level logic in shared.

Styling

  • Tailwind CSS for all styling
  • Follow existing component patterns
  • Use cn() for conditional class merging

Internationalization

  • Use i18next + react-i18next
  • All user-facing text must be translatable
  • Translation keys in web/src/i18n/

Testing Philosophy

Backend

  • JUnit 5 + Mockito + AssertJ
  • Use Spring Boot test slices where possible (@WebMvcTest, @DataJpaTest)
  • Test behaviors, not implementations
  • Use make test-backend-app (includes -am for dependent modules)
  • Never run ./mvnw -pl skillhub-app clean test directly — stale Maven cache causes misleading errors

Frontend

  • Vitest for unit tests
  • Playwright for E2E tests
  • Test component behavior and user interactions

Common Pitfalls

  • Maven multi-module: Always use -am flag or Makefile targets to include dependent modules
  • OpenAPI types: Must regenerate and commit after API contract changes
  • String identity: Never use numeric types for user identifiers
  • Controller business logic: Move to domain service or app service
  • Complex read-models in app service: Extract to query repository

Frequently asked questions

What does the Code Conventions AI skill do?

Code style, logging, and testing conventions for SkillHub backend (Java) and frontend (TypeScript). Use when writing or reviewing code.

Why use Code Conventions on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Code Conventions 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 Code Conventions in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/iflytek/skillhub/tree/main/.agents/skills/code-conventions. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Code Conventions?

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 Code Conventions?

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

Is the Code Conventions AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by iflytek under the Apache-2.0 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.
