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

Installation

Install the Slides Grab Card News 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/NomaDamas/slides-grab.git /tmp/slides-grab
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/slides-grab/skills/slides-grab-card-news .claude/skills/slides-grab-card-news
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Slides Grab Card News 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 Slides Grab Card News 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 Slides Grab Card News 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.

slides-grab Card News Skill

Use this when the user wants card news instead of a widescreen presentation.

Goal

Reuse the existing slides-grab plan/design/export workflow, but generate square outputs optimized for Instagram posts. Per-slide PNG is the default export since Instagram and most card-news distribution channels consume images, not PDFs.

Workflow

  1. Reuse the normal outline process from slides-grab-plan.
  2. During design and review, keep every card at 720pt x 720pt and run:
    • slides-grab validate --slides-dir <path> --mode card-news
    • slides-grab build-viewer --slides-dir <path> --mode card-news
    • slides-grab edit --slides-dir <path> --mode card-news
  3. During export, default to per-slide PNG for Instagram-ready output:
    • slides-grab png --slides-dir <path> --slide-mode card-news --resolution 2160p
    • Optional --output-dir <path>/out-png to choose the output folder (defaults to <slides-dir>/out-png).
  4. Only produce PDF/PPTX/Figma when the user explicitly asks for it:
    • slides-grab pdf --slides-dir <path> --slide-mode card-news --output <name>.pdf
    • slides-grab convert --slides-dir <path> --mode card-news --output <name>.pptx (experimental / unstable)
    • slides-grab figma --slides-dir <path> --mode card-news --output <name>-figma.pptx (experimental / unstable)
  5. Remind the user that PPTX/Figma exports remain experimental / unstable.

Rules

  • Optimize layouts for square Instagram-style card news, not 16:9 slides.
  • Default the export to slides-grab png --slide-mode card-news; only switch to PDF/PPTX/Figma when the user explicitly requests it.
  • Reuse existing design, viewer, editor, and export policy wherever possible.
  • Do not implement SNS/Instagram publishing automation.
  • Use the packaged CLI and bundled skills only.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Slides Grab Card News AI skill do?

Generate square Instagram-style card news by reusing the slides-grab workflow with card-news mode enabled. Defaults to per-slide PNG export.

Why use Slides Grab Card News on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Slides Grab Card News 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 Slides Grab Card News in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/NomaDamas/slides-grab/tree/main/skills/slides-grab-card-news. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Slides Grab Card News?

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 Slides Grab Card News?

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

Is the Slides Grab Card News AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by NomaDamas 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.
