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

Installation

Install the Network 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/markdown-viewer/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/network .claude/skills/network

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Network 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 Network 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 Network 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.

Network Topology Diagram Generator

Quick Start: Choose topology type → Declare stencil icons for network devices → Connect with arrow syntax → Group into zones with rectangle or package → Wrap in ```plantuml fence.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Always use ```plantuml or ```puml code fence. NEVER use ```text — it will NOT render as a diagram.

Critical Rules

Every diagram starts with @startuml and ends with @enduml
Use mxgraph.* stencil syntax for network device icons (routers, switches, firewalls, etc.)
Default colors are applied automatically — you do NOT need to specify fillColor or strokeColor
Use rectangle "Zone" { ... } or package "Zone" { ... } to group devices into network zones
Use cloud "Name" { ... } for cloud/Internet shapes
Bidirectional physical links use -- (no arrow); directed flows use -->
Dashed lines for VPN/wireless/logical links use .. or ..>
Use skinparam for global styling

Full stencil reference: See stencils/README.md for 9500+ available icons.

Mxgraph Stencil Syntax


mxgraph.<namespace>.<icon> "Label" as <alias>
mxgraph.<namespace>.<icon> "Label" as <alias> #color
mxgraph.<namespace>.<icon> <alias>

Common Network Stencil Families

Family	Prefix	Typical Icons
Networks	`mxgraph.networks.*`	`switch`, `router`, `firewall`, `server`, `pc`, `laptop`, `wireless_hub`, `cloud`
Cisco	`mxgraph.cisco.*`	`routers.router`, `switches.layer_3_switch`, `security.firewall`, `servers.fileserver`
Cisco 19	`mxgraph.cisco19.*`	`nexus_9300`, `nexus_5k`, `fabric_interconnect`, `ucs_5108_blade_chassis`, `storage`
Cisco SAFE	`mxgraph.cisco_safe.security_icons.*`	`ngfw`, `waf`, `ids`, `siem`, `nac`, `vpn`, `ddos`, `malware_sandbox`
Citrix	`mxgraph.citrix2.*`	`netscaler_gateway`, `storefront`, `delivery_controller`, `vda`

Connection Types

Syntax	Meaning	Use Case
`A -- B`	Solid line, no arrow	Physical Ethernet / LAN link
`A --> B`	Solid line with arrow	Directed traffic flow
`A .. B`	Dashed line, no arrow	VPN tunnel / wireless link
`A ..> B`	Dashed line with arrow	Directed VPN / logical flow
`A -- B : "label"`	Labeled connection	Link description

Quick Example

plantuml
@startuml
mxgraph.networks.cloud "Internet" as inet
mxgraph.networks.firewall "Firewall" as fw
mxgraph.networks.router "Router" as rtr
mxgraph.networks.switch "Switch" as sw

rectangle "Office LAN" {
  mxgraph.networks.pc "PC 1" as pc1
  mxgraph.networks.pc "PC 2" as pc2
  mxgraph.networks.server "Server" as srv
}

inet -- fw
fw -- rtr
rtr -- sw
sw -- pc1
sw -- pc2
sw -- srv

Bundled files

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 Network AI skill do?

Create network topology diagrams using PlantUML syntax with mxgraph device icons (Cisco, Citrix, etc.). Best for LAN/WAN layouts, datacenter interconnects, and physical/logical network design.

Why use Network on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/markdown-viewer/skills/tree/main/network. 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 Network?

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 Network?

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

Is the Network AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by markdown-viewer. 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.
