  • 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.

  • 3 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by mhattingpete on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Technical Doc Creator 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.
  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.
2

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/mhattingpete/claude-skills-marketplace.git /tmp/claude-skills-marketplace
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-skills-marketplace/visual-documentation-plugin/skills/technical-doc-creator .claude/skills/technical-doc-creator
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Technical Doc Creator 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 Technical Doc Creator 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 Technical Doc Creator 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.

Technical Documentation Creator

Create comprehensive HTML technical documentation with code examples and API workflows.

When to Use

  • "Create API documentation for [endpoints]"
  • "Generate technical docs for [system]"
  • "Document API reference"
  • "Create developer documentation"

Components

  1. Overview: purpose, key features, tech stack
  2. Getting Started: installation, setup, quick start
  3. API Reference: endpoints with request/response examples
  4. Code Examples: syntax-highlighted code blocks
  5. Architecture: system diagram (SVG)
  6. Workflows: step-by-step processes

HTML Structure

html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>[API/System] Documentation</title>
  <style>
    body { font-family: system-ui; max-width: 1000px; margin: 0 auto; }
    pre { background: #1e1e1e; color: #d4d4d4; padding: 15px; border-radius: 4px; overflow-x: auto; }
    .endpoint { background: #f7fafc; padding: 15px; margin: 10px 0; border-left: 4px solid #4299e1; }
    code { background: #e2e8f0; padding: 2px 6px; border-radius: 3px; }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>[System] Documentation</h1>
  <!-- Overview, Getting Started, API Reference, Examples -->
</body>
</html>

API Endpoint Pattern

html
<div class="endpoint">
  <h3><span style="color: #48bb78;">GET</span> /api/users/{id}</h3>
  <p>Retrieve user by ID</p>

  <h4>Request</h4>
  <pre><code>curl -X GET https://api.example.com/users/123</code></pre>

  <h4>Response</h4>
  <pre><code>{
  "id": 123,
  "name": "John Doe",
  "email": "john@example.com"
}</code></pre>
</div>

Code Block Pattern

html
<pre><code>// Installation
npm install package-name

// Usage
import { feature } from 'package-name';
const result = feature.doSomething();</code></pre>

Workflow

  1. Extract API endpoints, methods, parameters
  2. Create overview and getting started sections
  3. Document each endpoint with examples
  4. Add code snippets for common operations
  5. Include architecture diagram if relevant
  6. Write to [system]-docs.html

Use semantic colors for HTTP methods: GET (green), POST (blue), DELETE (red).

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 Technical Doc Creator AI skill do?

Create HTML technical documentation with code blocks, API workflows, system architecture diagrams, and syntax highlighting. Use when users request technical documentation, API docs, API references, code examples, or developer documentation.

Why use Technical Doc Creator on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Technical Doc Creator 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 Technical Doc Creator in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/mhattingpete/claude-skills-marketplace/tree/main/visual-documentation-plugin/skills/technical-doc-creator. 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 Technical Doc Creator?

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 Technical Doc Creator?

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

Is the Technical Doc Creator AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by mhattingpete under the Apache-2.0 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.
