  • 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 mingchen666 on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Classroom Activity Skill 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/mingchen666/Reviva/tree/main/electron/builtin-assets/skills/classroom-activity-skill
  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/mingchen666/Reviva.git /tmp/Reviva
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/Reviva/electron/builtin-assets/skills/classroom-activity-skill .claude/skills/classroom-activity-skill
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Classroom Activity Skill 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 Classroom Activity Skill 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 Classroom Activity Skill 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.

Classroom Activity Skill

Design activities that make student thinking visible and help the teacher collect evidence during class. Do not create entertaining activities that are disconnected from the lesson objective.

Load References When Needed

  • Read references/activity-library.md to choose activity patterns by lesson stage and subject.
  • Read references/questioning.md when the user asks for 提问链, discussion, Socratic questioning, misconception handling, or public lesson polish.

Use When

Use this skill for:

  • lesson introductions, hooks, warm-ups;
  • inquiry tasks, experiments, demonstrations, simulations;
  • group discussion, peer instruction, debate, gallery walk;
  • questioning chains and teacher prompts;
  • class games used for learning;
  • checks for understanding and exit tickets;
  • improving an existing lesson to be more interactive.

For a full lesson plan, coordinate with lesson-plan-skill. For printable activity sheets, coordinate with worksheet-skill. For rubrics or observation forms, coordinate with teaching-assessment-skill.

Activity Design Workflow

  1. Identify the learning point.
    • What should students notice, explain, practice, or produce?
  2. Choose the activity type.
    • Match the activity to lesson stage, subject, grade, time, materials, and class size.
  3. Script the teacher and student moves.
    • Give exact teacher instructions, group setup, student task, time limit, and expected product.
  4. Add the thinking path.
    • Include key questions, expected answers, likely misconceptions, and follow-up prompts.
  5. Add evidence and management.
    • Define what the teacher observes or collects, how to respond, and how to transition.

Activity Card Format

Use this format by default:

  1. 活动名称
  2. 适用环节
  3. 活动目标
  4. 时间建议
  5. 材料准备
  6. 组织方式
  7. 教师指令
  8. 学生任务
  9. 过程步骤
  10. 预期回答/作品
  11. 常见困难与追问
  12. 评价证据
  13. 课堂管理与安全注意

Quality Rules

  • Activities must serve a specific objective and produce visible evidence.
  • Keep teacher instructions concise and executable.
  • Include exact questions instead of vague "引导学生思考".
  • Respect grade level: younger learners need concrete, shorter, more visual tasks; older learners can handle debate, abstraction, and open-ended inquiry.
  • Include classroom management: grouping, roles, noise level, material distribution, timing, transition.
  • For experiments, PE, maker, chemistry, electricity, cutting tools, heat, outdoor, or online safety, include safety rules and teacher supervision.
  • For public lessons, reduce activity count and improve depth; make student thinking visible.

Output Modes

  • Single activity card.
  • Full activity sequence for one lesson.
  • Questioning chain with expected answers and follow-ups.
  • Public lesson interaction polish.
  • Printable activity/task sheet through worksheet-skill.
  • Evaluation/observation sheet through teaching-assessment-skill.

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 Classroom Activity Skill AI skill do?

Design purposeful classroom activities, inquiry tasks, discussion prompts, questioning chains, group work, experiments, demos, warm-ups, exit tickets, peer instruction, and interactive learning checkpoints. Use this skill whenever the user asks for 课堂活动, 互动环节, 小组讨论, 探究任务, 提问链, 导入活动, 实验活动, 课堂游戏, 公开课活动, 出门条, or ways to make a lesson more engaging while staying aligned to teaching goals.

Why use Classroom Activity Skill on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Classroom Activity Skill 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 Classroom Activity Skill in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/mingchen666/Reviva/tree/main/electron/builtin-assets/skills/classroom-activity-skill. 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 Classroom Activity Skill?

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 Classroom Activity Skill?

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

Is the Classroom Activity Skill AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by mingchen666. 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.
