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

Installation

Install the Jp Essay Scientific 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/lucasbabur/jp-essay/tree/main/scientific
  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/lucasbabur/jp-essay.git /tmp/jp-essay
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/jp-essay/scientific .claude/skills/jp-essay-scientific
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Jp Essay Scientific 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 Jp Essay Scientific 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 Jp Essay Scientific 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.

Write a scientific essay answering $ARGUMENTS. Read ~/.claude/skills/jp-essay/SKILL.md and run its steps and gates with the changes below. Where a change and that file disagree, the change wins, and every subagent a change touches gets the changed rule in its brief.

Changes

  • Step 1, Question. Also settle the citation style (default APA) in the same AskUserQuestion call, and add a fifth line Style: APA|ABNT|… to question.md. That line switches check.py into scientific mode. The default reader is an academic one: a student or researcher in a neighbouring field.
  • Step 2, Reading list. Sources are published works only: no local files and no conversation. Brief the research subagent with this format per source: ## <id>, Link: <url or DOI>, Cite: <in-text citation exactly as it will appear>, Reference: <full entry in the agreed style>, and Notes: on its own line followed by the source's findings, methods, sample sizes and short verbatim quotes.
  • Style. An academic reader wants precision more than ease. Use the field's exact term and keep it; scope each claim to what the evidence shows (population, method, effect size); keep hedges that report a real limit of the evidence. Pass this paragraph with style.md, and it wins where they differ.
  • Step 4, Bad draft. Mark every claim taken from a source with its id, [@id], only where that source's notes support it.
  • Steps 6 and 7. Keep every [@id] on the claim it supports through draft-2.md and the rewrites. When writing final.md, replace each [@id] with that source's Cite: text and end with a ## References section listing the Reference: line of every cited source.
  • Final report. Give the number of sources cited.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Jp Essay Scientific AI skill do?

Write a cited academic essay with Jordan Peterson's essay process, adapted to how models write, ending in in-text citations and a reference list.

Why use Jp Essay Scientific on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Jp Essay Scientific 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 Jp Essay Scientific in TypingMind?

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

Which AI models can use Jp Essay Scientific?

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 Jp Essay Scientific?

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

Is the Jp Essay Scientific AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by lucasbabur 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.
