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

Installation

Install the Aiwg Help 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/jmagly/aiwg/tree/main/agentic/code/addons/aiwg-utils/skills/aiwg-help
  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/jmagly/aiwg.git /tmp/aiwg
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/aiwg/agentic/code/addons/aiwg-utils/skills/aiwg-help .claude/skills/aiwg-help
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Aiwg Help 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 Aiwg Help 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 Aiwg Help 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.

Triggers

Alternate expressions and non-obvious activations (primary phrases are matched automatically from the skill description):

  • "what can aiwg do" → run aiwg help
  • "list aiwg commands" → run aiwg help
  • "how do I use aiwg" → run aiwg help
  • "aiwg commands" → run aiwg help
  • "aiwg usage" → run aiwg help

Trigger Patterns Reference

PatternExampleAction
General help"help" / "show help"Run aiwg help
Command listing"what commands are available"Run aiwg help
Usage question"how do I use aiwg"Run aiwg help
Capability query"what can aiwg do"Run aiwg help
Command discovery"list aiwg commands"Run aiwg help

Behavior

When triggered:

  1. Extract intent: Determine whether the user wants the full command listing or is asking about a specific command or category. If a specific command is mentioned (e.g. "help with ralph"), direct the user to the relevant section.

  2. Run the appropriate command:

    bash
    # Full help output
    aiwg help

    The help command is built into the CLI registry and requires no external tools. It renders command groups (Framework, Project, Workspace, MCP Server, Toolsmith, Catalog, Discovery, Dispatch, Features, Scaffolding, Ralph Loop, Maintenance, Channel) with aligned descriptions.

    Discovery commands (discover, show, index) are the canonical way to find and read AIWG skills/agents/commands/rules — most of AIWG's surface lives outside the always-loaded kernel set and is reachable only via these commands. Dispatch commands (run skill <name>, run <script>) execute script-bearing skills and user-defined scripts.

  3. Report the result inline — present the command groups and highlight the most relevant section if the user expressed a specific area of interest.

Examples

Example 1: General help request

User: "What commands does AIWG have?"

Extraction: Full command listing requested, no specific area mentioned

Action:

bash
aiwg help

Response: "Here are all available AIWG commands: [output]. The most commonly used are aiwg use <framework> to deploy a framework, aiwg discover \"<phrase>\" to find skills by capability, aiwg doctor to check health, and aiwg refresh to pull the latest version and redeploy."

Example 2: Category-specific help

User: "How do I use the agent loop commands?"

Extraction: User wants help scoped to the Agent Loop category

Action:

bash
aiwg help

Response: "The Agent Loop commands are: aiwg ralph \"<task>\" to start an iterative loop, aiwg ralph-status to check progress, aiwg ralph-abort to stop, and aiwg ralph-resume to continue an interrupted loop. Pass --completion \"<criteria>\" to define when the loop should stop."

Example 3: Quick usage check

User: "usage"

Extraction: User wants the usage summary

Action:

bash
aiwg help

Response: "Usage: aiwg <command> [options]. Run aiwg help for the full command listing, or ask about a specific command."

Frequently asked questions

What does the Aiwg Help AI skill do?

Display all available AIWG CLI commands, their arguments, and usage examples

Why use Aiwg Help on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Aiwg Help 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 Aiwg Help in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/jmagly/aiwg/tree/main/agentic/code/addons/aiwg-utils/skills/aiwg-help. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Aiwg Help?

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 Aiwg Help?

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

Is the Aiwg Help AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by jmagly 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.
