fault-intake

Reads maintenance fault notes, operator reports, alarm/event logs, asset IDs and location into the mfg.maintenance-triage.v1 contract inputs. Use when the user says "triage this fault", "work this breakdown", "read the fault note for <asset>", "what's wrong with pump <id>", or when a maintenance triage run begins.

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

Installation

Install the Fault Intake 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/microsoft/cat-agent-skills/tree/main/submissions/maintenance-triage/skills/fault-intake
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

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/microsoft/cat-agent-skills.git /tmp/cat-agent-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/cat-agent-skills/submissions/maintenance-triage/skills/fault-intake .claude/skills/fault-intake

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Fault Intake 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 Fault Intake 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 Fault Intake 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.

Fault Intake

Purpose

Turn the raw breakdown inputs (technician fault note, operator report, alarm/event log, asset tag) into structured contract inputs: a normalized symptom list, alarm codes, the asset identity, and its criticality/downtime attributes.

When to use

"Triage fault on " / "work this breakdown" / "what's wrong with ?"
"Read the fault note / alarm log for ."
Start of any Maintenance Triage run.

Inputs

Fault note / operator report (TXT, email, or extract): free-text symptoms.
Alarm / event log (CSV): timestamped alarm codes for the asset.
Asset register + criticality (XLSX / CSV): class (A/B/C), downtime cost/hr, redundancy.
Emits inputs for contract mfg.maintenance-triage.v1.

Steps

Confirm the asset tag resolves in the asset register; carry its criticality class, downtime_cost_per_hr, and redundancy onto the contract.
Map free-text symptoms to the controlled vocabulary in references/failure-mode-library.md #1 (e.g. "runs hot and trips" -> overload_trip, motor_hot). Never invent a symptom that is not evidenced.
Extract alarm codes from the event log as alarm_codes[].
Produce fault-intake.json with contract_version, asset_id, asset_criticality, downtime_cost_per_hr, symptoms[], alarm_codes[], and an empty history{}.

Output

fault-intake.json conforming to the contract inputs — the entry payload of the flow.

Grounding requirements

Every symptom cites the source line (fault note or alarm log). Asset attributes cite the asset register row.

Constraints

Symptom vocabulary is fixed by references/failure-mode-library.md #1 — map, do not guess.
Do not rank causes or set priority here — that is the Analyze skills' job (engine/LLM split).
Never fabricate an asset attribute; a missing tag or criticality is an escalation.

Escalation / uncertainty

Asset tag not found, criticality class missing, or symptoms un-mappable: stop and ask the technician; record it in the contract escalations[].

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 Fault Intake AI skill do?

Why use Fault Intake on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/microsoft/cat-agent-skills/tree/main/submissions/maintenance-triage/skills/fault-intake. 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 Fault Intake?

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 Fault Intake?

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

Is the Fault Intake AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by microsoft 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.
