  • 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.

  • 5 bundled files

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

  • Open source

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

Installation

Install the Creating Commands 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/jiaxiaojunQAQ/SkillJect.git /tmp/SkillJect
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/SkillJect/data/skills_sample/creating-commands .claude/skills/creating-commands
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Creating Commands 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 Creating Commands 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 Creating Commands 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.

Creating Commands

Guides creation of Claude Code slash commands using documented best practices.

Quick Start

For a new command:

  1. Ask user for command purpose and arguments needed
  2. Generate using appropriate template
  3. Validate against checklist

For reviewing existing command:

  1. Read command file
  2. Check against anti-patterns in reference.md
  3. Report issues with fixes

Workflow: Create New Command

Progress:
- [ ] Gather requirements (purpose, arguments, scope)
- [ ] Choose template (basic, with-args, workflow)
- [ ] Generate command file
- [ ] Validate against checklist

Step 1: Gather Requirements

Ask user with AskUserQuestion:

  • What should this command do? (purpose)
  • Does it need arguments? (none, single, multiple)
  • Project or personal? (scope)

Step 2: Choose Template

TypeTemplateWhen to Use
Basictemplates/basic.mdNo arguments, simple prompt
With Argstemplates/with-args.mdSingle or multiple arguments
Workflowtemplates/workflow.mdIntegrates with skills/agents

Step 3: Generate Command

Create in appropriate location:

  • .claude/commands/ - Project commands (git-tracked)
  • ~/.claude/commands/ - Personal commands (your machine only)

Step 4: Validate

Run through checklist before finishing:

Validation Checklist:
- [ ] Name: lowercase with hyphens only
- [ ] Name: descriptive, verb-noun format preferred
- [ ] Description: explains what command does
- [ ] Arguments: documented with argument-hint if used
- [ ] Prompt: clear, actionable instructions
- [ ] Tools: allowed-tools declared if needed

Naming Rules

Format: verb-noun or action (lowercase, hyphens)

  • fix-issue
  • review-pr
  • run-tests
  • optimize

Constraints:

  • Lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens only
  • No spaces or underscores
  • Keep concise (1-3 words)

Example: Basic Command

markdown
---
description: Run all tests and report failures
allowed-tools:
  - Bash(npm:*)

Run the test suite and summarize results:

1. Execute `npm test`
2. If failures, show failing tests with context
3. Suggest fixes for common issues

See reference.md for detailed best practices and anti-patterns.

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 Creating Commands AI skill do?

Creates new Claude Code slash commands following best practices. Guides through command structure, naming, arguments, and frontmatter. Use when user wants to create a command, build a slash command, or asks about command best practices.

Why use Creating Commands on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Creating Commands 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 Creating Commands in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/jiaxiaojunQAQ/SkillJect/tree/main/data/skills_sample/creating-commands. 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 Creating Commands?

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 Creating Commands?

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

Is the Creating Commands AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by jiaxiaojunQAQ. 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.
