  • 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.

  • 1 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by JasonxzWen on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Claude Api 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/JasonxzWen/harness-hub.git /tmp/harness-hub
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/harness-hub/skills/claude-api .claude/skills/claude-api
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Claude Api 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 Claude Api 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 Claude Api 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.

Claude API

Use this skill for provider-specific Claude API and Anthropic SDK work. Keep it explicit: if the target file is provider-neutral or already uses another provider, stop and ask whether the user wants an Anthropic-specific implementation.

Workflow

  1. Detect the project language, runtime, and existing SDK usage.
  2. Read references/live-sources.md, then verify current Anthropic docs or SDK source before relying on API names, model IDs, headers, beta flags, or migration details that may have changed.
  3. Prefer the official Anthropic SDK for the project language. Use raw HTTP only when the user asks for REST/cURL or no suitable SDK exists.
  4. Keep secrets in environment variables or the target repo's existing secret manager. Never place API keys, tokens, or credentials in prompts, committed files, examples, or logs.
  5. Preserve existing provider boundaries. Do not introduce Anthropic SDK calls into OpenAI, generic, or multi-provider files unless the accepted change is to add an Anthropic lane.
  6. Run the nearest compile, typecheck, unit, or smoke check after changing code.

Implementation Checks

  • Confirm exact package names, imports, client constructors, method names, request fields, streaming helpers, and response shapes from current docs or SDK source.
  • Treat model names, pricing, context windows, rate limits, prompt caching behavior, and migration guidance as live facts.
  • Make cost, latency, timeout, and retry tradeoffs explicit when changing generation behavior.
  • Add tests or fixtures around request construction, response parsing, and error handling where the project already has a test surface.

Boundaries

  • Use documentation-lookup for general API/library questions that are not Anthropic-specific.
  • Use mcp-builder for MCP server design or tool schemas.
  • Use security-review when auth, secret handling, sandboxing, or untrusted tool execution is central.

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 Claude Api AI skill do?

Load when a task needs Claude API or Anthropic SDK build, debug, migration, or tuning work; skip provider-neutral, OpenAI, or non-Anthropic model work.

Why use Claude Api on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Claude Api 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 Claude Api in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/JasonxzWen/harness-hub/tree/main/skills/claude-api. 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 Claude Api?

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 Claude Api?

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

Is the Claude Api AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by JasonxzWen. Check the repository for licensing terms. 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.
