  • 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 krishnakanthb13 on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Release Helper 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/krishnakanthb13/antigravity_global_skills/tree/main/release_helper
  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/krishnakanthb13/antigravity_global_skills.git /tmp/antigravity_global_skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/antigravity_global_skills/release_helper .claude/skills/release_helper
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Release Helper 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 Release Helper 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 Release Helper 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.

Release Helper

This skill helps you package up a release by generating release notes and social media content.

Inputs

  • Version Number: (Optional) The target version (e.g. v2.1.0).
  • Release Type: Major/Minor/Patch (if no version provided).

Tooling Strategy

  • Use read_file to read RELEASE_NOTES.md and SOCIAL_MEDIA.md.
  • Use run_command (e.g., git describe --tags --abbrev=0 and git log <last_release>..HEAD) to fetch the latest git version, the last git release, and everything that changed from the last release till the latest git commit. Use this as the context to create content.
  • Use replace_file_content to prepend new entries to the VERY TOP, ensuring all previous history is completely untouched (DO NOT replace or modify old entries).

Workflow

1. Determine Version Number

  • Check inputs: Did the user provide a version number?
  • Auto-increment: If not, find the last version number in RELEASE_NOTES.md.
    • Tiny/Minor: Increment the right-most number (e.g., v1.0.1 -> v1.0.2) for standard updates.
    • Major: If the user specifies "major", increment the number to the left (e.g., v1.0.1 -> v1.1.0).

2. Update RELEASE_NOTES.md

Create this file if it doesn't exist. If it exists, ALWAYS prepend new entries to the top to maintain a complete historical log. The old release information MUST remain untouched.

  • Analyze Changes: Fetch the latest git version and last git release, and get everything that changed from the last release till the latest git commit to understand what changed and create the content based on that context.
  • Format:
    • Header: ## [Version] - [Date]
    • Style: Use emojis 🚀, one-liners for quick reading, followed by detailed descriptions if necessary.
    • Categories:
      • ### 🚀 New Features
      • ### ⚡ Improvements
      • ### 🐛 Bug Fixes
      • ### 📚 Documentation
      • ### 🏗️ Infrastructure & Maintenance

3. Create SOCIAL_MEDIA.md

Generate engaging posts for the new release. Create this file if it doesn't exist. If it exists, ALWAYS prepend new posts to the top to maintain a record of past announcements. The old social media posts MUST remain untouched.

  • Platform 1: LinkedIn
    • Professional but exciting tone.
    • Focus on the "value add" / problem solved.
    • Use hashtags (#OpenSource #Dev #Update).
    • Formatting: Plain text only (No Markdown).
    • Length: Target ~1,500 characters (Max 3,000 allowed).
    • Write multiple lines, each line separated by a newline character.
  • Platform 2: Reddit
    • Suggest best and extensive list of sub-reddits to post on - (Eg: r/programming, r/webdev style).
    • Suggest the title of the post.
    • Formatting: Markdown supported (Bold, Italic, Code blocks, Links).
    • Length: Target ~2,500 characters (Max 40,000 allowed).
    • Conversational, "Show don't tell".
    • Focus on the tech stack or the interesting technical challenge solved.
  • Platform 3: X (Twitter)
    • Short, crisp, punchy.
    • Use emojis and threads if the update is large.
    • Include a call to action (Check it out here!).
    • Formatting: Plain text only (No Markdown).
    • Limit: 280 characters (Free Plan).

Output

  • Confirm the new version number used.
  • Show the path to the updated RELEASE_NOTES.md and SOCIAL_MEDIA.md.

Critical Rules

  • NEVER OVERWRITE: Always prepend new release information to the top of existing files. Previous release history must be preserved.
  • IDEMPOTENCY: If the version already exists in the file, ask the user if they want to update it or skip.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Release Helper AI skill do?

Automates release note generation and social media announcements. Handles version incrementing (minor vs major).

Why use Release Helper on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/krishnakanthb13/antigravity_global_skills/tree/main/release_helper. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Release Helper?

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 Release Helper?

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

Is the Release Helper AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by krishnakanthb13. 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.
