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 Codex Slides Research 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/nexu-io/codex-slides/tree/master/skills/codex-slides-research
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/codex-slides.git /tmp/codex-slides
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/codex-slides/skills/codex-slides-research .claude/skills/codex-slides-research

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Codex Slides Research 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 Codex Slides Research 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 Codex Slides Research 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.

Codex Slides Research

The canonical codex-slides sibling skill owns the complete workflow. Use deep_research when MCP is available; otherwise run CLI command research at ../codex-slides/scripts/codex-slides.mjs. Preserve its Markdown and citations so the user can review or edit the evidence before slide generation.

For the default interactive workflow, first open the Codex Slides home screen in the Codex Browser, submit the research request there, and keep the created project visible while its research, outline, style, and render checkpoints advance. Use the lower-level sequence below only for CLI automation, recovery, or a user-requested headless workflow:

If a research workflow fits, call list_scenarios / CLI scenarios and pass the selected scenarioId into deep_research / CLI research with one to four rounds. This carries the scenario's evidence contract into the search brief.
Call create_outline / CLI outline with researchDoc set to the reviewed brief.
Revise the draft with revise_outline / CLI revise-outline when needed.
Call render_deck / CLI render only after the outline is accepted.
Call open_codex_slides / CLI open and navigate the returned project resource or URL in the in-editor Browser for visual verification.

For an explicitly requested unattended fast path, call create_deck with research: true. Do not claim a brief is source-backed when its returned Markdown has no source links.

For a durable outline revision or render that should survive navigation, use start_project_run, then retain and track its runId while the Browser remains on the matching checkpoint.

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 Codex Slides Research AI skill do?

Why use Codex Slides Research on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Codex Slides Research 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 Codex Slides Research in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/nexu-io/codex-slides/tree/master/skills/codex-slides-research. 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 Codex Slides Research?

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 Codex Slides Research?

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

Is the Codex Slides Research AI skill free?

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