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.
2 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by kevinbadi on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Gemini Viral Shorts 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.
https://github.com/kevinbadi/ai-os-skills/tree/main/gemini-viral-shorts
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/kevinbadi/ai-os-skills.git /tmp/ai-os-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/ai-os-skills/gemini-viral-shorts .claude/skills/gemini-viral-shorts

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Gemini Viral Shorts 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 Gemini Viral Shorts 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 Gemini Viral Shorts 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.

Gemini Viral Shorts Post Generator

Uses Google Gemini API to analyze YouTube videos and generate viral Twitter/LinkedIn posts with a professional content marketing copywriter persona.

What It Does

Takes a YouTube URL as input
Sends the video (or transcript) to Gemini with a copywriter persona prompt
Generates a viral post with: Hook (shocking headline + stat) → Body (value proposition) → Steps (how-to) → CTA (comment keyword)
Outputs formatted text ready for posting

How to Run

bash
# Generate viral post from YouTube video
python3 skills/gemini-viral-shorts/scripts/gemini_viral_shorts_post.py "YOUR_YOUTUBE_URL"

Configuration

Environment Variables

env
GEMINI_API_KEY=xxx

Dependencies

bash
pip install google-generativeai yt-dlp python-dotenv

Post Structure

Hook: Shocking headline + believable stat
Body: How it works, why it's powerful, business impact
Steps: Step-by-step breakdown
CTA: Comment keyword + "Like this post"

Difference from `youtube-to-viral-posts`

This is a lighter-weight version focused purely on post generation:

No database storage
No custom CTA keyword flag
Uses gemini-1.5-pro or gemini-1.5-flash (vs 2.0-flash in the other skill)
Simpler single-purpose script

Use youtube-to-viral-posts for the full pipeline with database tracking. Use this for quick one-off post generation.

Important Notes

Ensure GEMINI_API_KEY is set in .env
Gemini can analyze YouTube URLs directly without downloading
Output is clean text — no markdown formatting
For higher quality posts, use gemini-1.5-pro; for speed, use gemini-1.5-flash

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 Gemini Viral Shorts AI skill do?

Why use Gemini Viral Shorts on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Gemini Viral Shorts 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 Gemini Viral Shorts in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/kevinbadi/ai-os-skills/tree/main/gemini-viral-shorts. 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 Gemini Viral Shorts?

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 Gemini Viral Shorts?

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

Is the Gemini Viral Shorts AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by kevinbadi. 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.
