reorder

Realign a listing whose order has gone arbitrary — a list, table, catalog, sections, an enum — into a logical sequence under one stated principle. Move items only: nothing is reworded, added, or removed. Use when the order no longer helps a reader follow the set.

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

Installation

Install the Reorder 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/LilMGenius/paperthin/tree/main/skills/depth/reorder
  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/LilMGenius/paperthin.git /tmp/paperthin
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/paperthin/skills/depth/reorder .claude/skills/reorder
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Reorder 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 Reorder 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 Reorder 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.

Put a listing back into an order that carries meaning, moving items only.

Goal

A listing's order is information: kin sit together, and the sequence follows one axis a reader can feel. Order drifts — items get appended where they were written, not where they belong — until the sequence tells the reader nothing. reorder realigns the set under a single, nameable principle so the order reads as intentional again. It is fast and single-purpose: it moves items, and changes nothing else.

Workflow

  1. Pin the listing and its items — the ordered set in focus.
  2. Name the principle that makes the order carry the most meaning: workflow or lifecycle sequence, dependency, grouping by kind, severity, frequency, or plain alphabetical. If the set already has a latent order, surface and finish it rather than imposing a new one.
  3. Cluster kin adjacent, then sequence the clusters by that one principle.
  4. Move items into the new order in place. Reword nothing; add and remove nothing.
  5. If the same set is mirrored elsewhere — a translated copy, a second surface — apply the identical order to each.

Rules

  • Reorder only. Never reword, add, remove, split, or merge an item; those are other reflexes.
  • One principle, and a reader can name it. Do not blend incompatible sorts into one listing.
  • Respect a deliberate order. If the current sequence already encodes a real principle, complete and tidy it rather than replacing it; surface the call when it is unclear.
  • Keep mirrored copies in lockstep — the same set on different surfaces gets the same order.
  • Mutate with edit-safety: assert each item exists before moving it (report a MISS, never a silent drop), edit unicode-safe, and script a large structural move rather than sweeping by hand.

Verification

  1. A reader can name the ordering principle from the result alone.
  2. Every item that was there is still there — only positions changed; nothing reworded, added, or removed.
  3. Kin are adjacent and the sequence follows the one principle end to end.
  4. Every mirrored copy of the set carries the identical order.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Reorder AI skill do?

Realign a listing whose order has gone arbitrary — a list, table, catalog, sections, an enum — into a logical sequence under one stated principle. Move items only: nothing is reworded, added, or removed. Use when the order no longer helps a reader follow the set.

Why use Reorder on TypingMind?

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

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

Which AI models can use Reorder?

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 Reorder?

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

Is the Reorder AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by LilMGenius 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.
