  • 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.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

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

Installation

Install the Install From Remote Library 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/MoizIbnYousaf/ai-agent-skills.git /tmp/ai-agent-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/ai-agent-skills/skills/install-from-remote-library .claude/skills/install-from-remote-library
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Install From Remote Library 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 Install From Remote Library 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 Install From Remote Library 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.

Install From Remote Library

Goal

Install from a shared library repo without guessing, over-installing, or skipping the preview step.

Invariants

  • Always inspect the remote library first with install <source> --list.
  • Prefer --collection when the library clearly exposes a starter pack or focused bundle.
  • Always run --dry-run before the real install.
  • Keep the install small. Do not pull a whole library when the user only needs a narrow slice.

Workflow

  1. Inspect the source library.
bash
npx ai-agent-skills install <owner>/<repo> --list
  1. Choose the smallest fitting target.
  • Prefer --collection starter-pack or another named collection when it matches the user's need.
  • Use --skill <name> only when the user needs one specific skill or the library has no useful collection.
  • Do not combine --collection and --skill.
  1. Preview the install plan before mutating anything.
bash
npx ai-agent-skills install <owner>/<repo> --collection starter-pack --dry-run -p

or

bash
npx ai-agent-skills install <owner>/<repo> --skill <skill-name> --dry-run -p
  1. If the plan looks right, run the real install with the same scope.
bash
npx ai-agent-skills install <owner>/<repo> --collection starter-pack -p

Decision Rules

  • If the library has a curated collection that already matches the user's stack, use it.
  • If the remote library is empty or the list output is unclear, stop and report that instead of guessing.
  • If the install path throws an ERROR / HINT, surface that verbatim and follow the hint before retrying.
  • If the user is exploring a large library, keep them in browse mode first rather than installing immediately.

Done

Return:

  • what source library you inspected
  • which collection or skill you chose
  • the dry-run result
  • the exact final install command you used

Frequently asked questions

What does the Install From Remote Library AI skill do?

Use when installing skills from a shared ai-agent-skills library repo. Inspect with `--list` first, prefer `--collection`, and preview with `--dry-run` before installing.

Why use Install From Remote Library on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Install From Remote Library 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 Install From Remote Library in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/MoizIbnYousaf/ai-agent-skills/tree/main/skills/install-from-remote-library. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Install From Remote Library?

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 Install From Remote Library?

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

Is the Install From Remote Library AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by MoizIbnYousaf 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.
