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 nexu-io on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Blog Post 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.
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/nexu-io/open-design.git /tmp/open-design
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/open-design/design-templates/blog-post .claude/skills/blog-post

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Blog Post 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 Blog Post 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 Blog Post 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.

Blog Post Skill

Produce a single long-form article page — editorial layout, no chrome.

Workflow

Read the active DESIGN.md (injected above). Lean into the typography tokens — long-form is 70% type, 20% image, 10% chrome.
Pick the topic from the brief and write a real article — at least 600 words across 4–6 H2 sections. No lorem ipsum.
Sections, in order:
- Masthead — small wordmark + 4–6 nav links, plain.
- Article header — category eyebrow, headline (display token, large), deck (1–2 sentence subhead), author name + role + date.
- Hero image — a 16:9 placeholder block using a DS-tinted gradient or solid fill (no external images). Add a 1-line caption underneath.
- Body — alternating prose paragraphs with at least:
  - 1 pull quote (large display type, accent rule on the inline-start edge so the layout flips correctly under dir="rtl").
  - 1 figure (image placeholder + caption).
  - 1 list (numbered or bulleted).
  - 1 inline blockquote.
- Author footer — author avatar (initials in a circle), bio paragraph.
- Related — 3 cards linking to other posts. Each card: tiny image block, title, 1-line excerpt, date.
Write a single HTML document:
- <!doctype html> through </html>, CSS inline.
- Article body uses the DS body font, centered, max-width per DS layout rule (typically 680–720px).
- Drop caps (first-letter) only if the DS mood is editorial / serif — skip on tech-y DSes.
- data-od-id on the headline, hero, body, pull quote, related grid.
Self-check:
- Type hierarchy is unambiguous — H1 is clearly the headline; H2s are section dividers; pull quotes do not compete with H1.
- Line length 60–75 chars for body prose.
- Accent appears at most twice (eyebrow + pull-quote rule, or one link).
- The page reads like a magazine, not a marketing landing.

Output contract

Emit between <artifact> tags:


<artifact identifier="post-slug" type="text/html" title="Article Title">
<!doctype html>
<html>...</html>
</artifact>

One sentence before the artifact, nothing after.

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 Blog Post AI skill do?

Why use Blog Post on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/nexu-io/open-design/tree/main/design-templates/blog-post. 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 Blog Post?

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 Blog Post?

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

Is the Blog Post AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by nexu-io 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.
