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

Installation

Install the Dialkit 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.
https://github.com/memi-design/design-skills/tree/main/skills/dialkit
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/memi-design/design-skills.git /tmp/design-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/design-skills/skills/dialkit .claude/skills/dialkit

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Dialkit 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 Dialkit 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 Dialkit 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.

Use DialKit

Use DialKit to expose high-leverage design parameters while developing an interface. Treat the panel as a temporary tuning surface unless the product explicitly needs end-user controls.

Setup

Confirm the framework and current DialKit package API from the official repository.
Install the documented peer dependencies for the current version.
Mount one root panel at the application shell.
Wrap related controls in a focused hook with a stable panel name.
Give numeric controls deliberate defaults, bounds, and steps.
Use stable IDs and persistence only when values must survive remounts or navigation.

tsx
import { useDialKit } from "dialkit";

export function useCardDials() {
  return useDialKit("Card", {
    radius: [16, 0, 48, 1],
    scale: [1, 0.9, 1.1, 0.01],
    shadow: true,
  });
}

Tuning protocol

Start from the product's existing tokens, not arbitrary extremes.
Change one perceptual dimension at a time.
Exercise realistic content, responsive widths, pointer and keyboard input, and reduced motion.
Record the chosen values in the design tokens or component API.
Remove unused panels and controls before production unless they are intentional tooling.

Guardrails

Do not expose secrets, personal data, or privileged actions through a tuning panel.
Do not let persisted experimental values silently override production defaults.
Do not use live controls as a substitute for accessibility and interaction tests.
Do not copy Interface Craft's paid curriculum into project documentation. Link to it as an external learning resource.

This workflow is an original adaptation of Josh Puckett's MIT-licensed DialKit documentation and codebase.

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 Dialkit AI skill do?

Add or review DialKit controls when a React, Solid, Svelte, or Vue interface needs live tuning of animation, layout, color, typography, or component parameters.

Why use Dialkit on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/memi-design/design-skills/tree/main/skills/dialkit. 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 Dialkit?

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 Dialkit?

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

Is the Dialkit AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by memi-design 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.
