  • 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 jeremy-allen on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Posit News 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/jeremy-allen/claude-skills/tree/main/deliver-posit-news
  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/jeremy-allen/claude-skills.git /tmp/claude-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-skills/deliver-posit-news .claude/skills/posit-news
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Posit News 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 Posit News 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 Posit News 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.

Instructions

  1. First, run date +%Y-%m-%d to get today's date.

  2. Use WebFetch to retrieve all blog URLs in parallel. For each blog, use this prompt: "Extract the [N] most recent blog posts with title, date, brief description, and URL."

  3. Fetch the podcast page (https://posit.co/thetestset/) with prompt: "Extract the latest podcast episode with title, episode number, brief description, and URL."

  4. Fetch the latest videos from Posit's sitemaps: a. Fetch all 4 video sitemaps in parallel with prompt: "List the 5 most recently modified URLs with their names and dates."

    • Product Demos: https://posit.co/cpt-product-demos-sitemap.xml
    • Workflow Demos: https://posit.co/cpt-workflow-demos-sitemap.xml
    • Webinars: https://posit.co/cpt-webinars-sitemap.xml
    • Videos: https://posit.co/videos-sitemap.xml b. From the combined results, select the 3 most recent video URLs. c. Fetch each video page in parallel with prompt: "Extract the video title, speaker(s), date, and description."

  5. Fetch events from both sitemaps: a. Fetch both sitemaps in parallel:

    • Events sitemap (https://posit.co/events-sitemap.xml) with prompt: "List the 10 most recently modified event URLs with their names (extract name from URL slug)."
    • Hangouts sitemap (https://posit.co/hangouts-sitemap.xml) with prompt: "List the 10 most recently modified hangout URLs with their names (extract name from URL slug)." b. Then, fetch individual event/hangout pages in parallel with prompt: "Extract the event name, date(s), and a one-sentence description." c. Combine all events and compare dates to today's date to categorize:
    • Recent Events: The 2 most recent events that have already occurred (before today)
    • Upcoming Events: The next 3 events that haven't happened yet (today or later)

  6. For relative URLs, prepend the source's base URL to form complete links.

  7. Present the results grouped by source in this format:

    ## Posit Blog (3 latest)

- (YYYY-MM-DD) **Post Title**: Brief description. URL

## Tidyverse Blog (3 latest)

- (YYYY-MM-DD) **Post Title**: Brief description. URL

Frequently asked questions

What does the Posit News AI skill do?

Use multiple sub-agents to fetch and display news from Posit, including blog posts, podcast episodes, videos, and events. Use when the user wants to see recent Posit news, blog updates, podcast episodes, videos, or company announcements.

Why use Posit News on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Posit News 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 Posit News in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/jeremy-allen/claude-skills/tree/main/deliver-posit-news. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Posit News?

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 Posit News?

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

Is the Posit News AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by jeremy-allen. 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.
