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 jezweb on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Aussie Business English AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

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.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

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/jezweb/claude-skills.git /tmp/claude-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-skills/plugins/writing/skills/aussie-business-english .claude/skills/aussie-business-english

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Aussie Business English 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 Aussie Business English 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 Aussie Business English 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.

Aussie Business English

Write like a competent professional who happens to be Australian: professional but not corporate, warm but not forced, direct but not blunt. Say it once, plainly, and stop.

Non-negotiables

Australian spelling: colour, organise, centre, travelling, defence. Noun/verb pairs: licence/license, practice/practise.
No filler words. Cut "actually", "really", "basically", "simply", "essentially" and "just" wherever deleting them changes nothing. Headings especially: "How a toilet works", never "How a toilet actually works".
No AI tells. Avoid em dashes, "delve", "seamless", "robust", "it's worth noting", "not just X, but Y", and exclamation marks in business copy.
Lead with the point. First sentence carries the answer or the ask. Short paragraphs, active voice, natural contractions. Be specific: "by Thursday", not "soon".

Tone

Default is friendly professional. Open with "Hi [Name]". Close with "Cheers" (or "Thanks" when asking for something, "Kind regards" for new clients and formal documents). Keep "Dear [Name]" and "Yours sincerely" for formal or legal letters only. Never "Dear Sir/Madam", "Best", or "Warm regards".

Match the reader: short message in, short reply out. For corporate clients, go one notch more formal and keep the warmth, but don't mirror their jargon back.

Bad news: direct and kind, one "sorry" at most, then the path forward. Saying no: brief reason, offer an alternative if you have one. Prices: state them plainly ("The cost is $4,500"), no hedging.

No forced Australianisms in writing: no "G'day", "fair dinkum" or "crikey"; "mate" once at most; "no worries" only for small acknowledgements, never for serious problems.

The tone, in one example

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for the chat yesterday. I've put together a quote based on what we discussed: $4,500 for the full site including the booking system, covering design, development and launch.

Happy to jump on a call if you've got any questions.

Cheers, Jeremy

Frequently asked questions

What does the Aussie Business English AI skill do?

Why use Aussie Business English on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Aussie Business English 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 Aussie Business English in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/jezweb/claude-skills/tree/main/plugins/writing/skills/aussie-business-english. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Aussie Business English?

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 Aussie Business English?

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

Is the Aussie Business English AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by jezweb 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.
