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 kostja94 on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Card 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.

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/kostja94/marketing-skills.git /tmp/marketing-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/marketing-skills/skills/components/layout/card .claude/skills/card

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Card 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 Card 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 Card 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.

Components: Card Layout

Guides card layout design for scannable, responsive content display. Cards are self-contained containers that group related content; used in grids for blog posts, products, templates, tools, features, galleries, and integrations.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Card Anatomy

Element	Purpose
Container	Border, background, shadow; consistent padding
Image / Thumbnail	Visual anchor; consistent aspect ratio (1:1, 4:3 common)
Title	Clear; keyword-rich where relevant
Description / Metadata	Supporting text; date, author, category
CTA	Action button or link; "View," "Use," "Connect," etc.

Principle: One card = one topic. Keep each card focused for scannability.

Card Types by Use Case

Type	Typical Elements	Page Skill
Product card	Image, name, price, CTA (Add to cart, View)	products-page-generator
Template card	Thumbnail, name, short description, "Use" or "Preview" CTA	template-page-generator
Tool card	Name, one-line benefit, CTA to tool page	tools-page-generator
Feature card	Name, benefit, optional screenshot	features-page-generator
Gallery / Showcase item	Thumbnail, title, creator, link	showcase-page-generator
Integration card	Logo, name, short description, "Connect" or "Install"	integrations-page-generator
Blog / Article card	Cover image, title, excerpt, date, author	blog-page-generator, article-page-generator
Resource card	Thumbnail, title, format (guide, webinar), CTA	resources-page-generator

Layout & Responsiveness

Grid: CSS Grid repeat(auto-fill, minmax()) or Flexbox; columns adapt to viewport
Mobile: Single column on small screens; 2–4 columns on desktop
Consistency: Same padding, spacing, and aspect ratios across cards
Hover: Subtle elevation (shadow, translate-y); avoid scale that causes layout shift (CLS)

Design Principles

Principle	Practice
Visual hierarchy	Title > description > CTA; clear flow
Scannability	Minimal text; benefit-led copy
Consistency	Same structure across all cards in a grid
Action clarity	One primary CTA per card; avoid choice overload

SEO & Schema

Cards themselves: No specific schema; layout is UI
Content in cards: Use appropriate schema for the page (Product, Article, ItemList, etc.); see schema-markup
Images: Alt text on thumbnails; see image-optimization
Links: Descriptive anchor text; internal linking; see internal-links

Grid vs List vs Masonry vs Carousel

Layout	Best for	Skill
Grid	Visual content (products, templates, gallery); equal emphasis	grid
List	Text-heavy (blog index, docs); compact; scan by title	list
Masonry	Varying heights; image gallery, portfolio	masonry
Carousel	Limited space; testimonials, logos, featured rotation	carousel

Frequently asked questions

What does the Card AI skill do?

Why use Card on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/kostja94/marketing-skills/tree/main/skills/components/layout/card. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Card?

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 Card?

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

Is the Card AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by kostja94 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.
