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 nWave-ai on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Nw Forge 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/nWave-ai/nWave/tree/main/nWave/skills/nw-forge
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/nWave-ai/nWave.git /tmp/nWave
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/nWave/nWave/skills/nw-forge .claude/skills/nw-forge

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Nw Forge 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 Nw Forge 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 Nw Forge 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.

NW-FORGE: Create Agent (V2)

Wave: CROSS_WAVE Agent: Zeus (nw-agent-builder)

Overview

Create a new agent using research-validated v2 approach: focused core (200-400 lines) with Skills for domain knowledge.

ANALYZE — Identify single clear responsibility, check overlap with existing agents, classify type, determine minimum tools needed. Gate: responsibility defined, no overlap, classification chosen.
DESIGN — Select design pattern, define role and divergent principles, plan Skills extraction, draft frontmatter. Gate: pattern selected, principles drafted, frontmatter ready.
CREATE — Write agent .md using template. Workflow must be numbered task list. Create Skill files if domain knowledge exceeds 50 lines. Gate: agent file written, line count under 400.
VALIDATE — Run 14-point validation checklist. Check for anti-patterns. Verify workflow is numbered task list, not prose. Gate: all 14 items pass, zero anti-patterns.
REFINE — Address validation failures. Add instructions only for observed failure modes. Re-measure and re-validate. Gate: all items pass, line count reported.

Agent Invocation

@nw-agent-builder

Execute *forge to create {agent-name} agent.

Configuration:

agent_type: specialist | reviewer | orchestrator
design_pattern: react | reflection | router | planning | sequential | parallel | hierarchical

Success Criteria

Agent definition under 400 lines (wc -l)
Official YAML frontmatter format (name, description, tools, maxTurns)
11-point validation checklist passes
Only divergent behaviors specified (no Claude defaults)
3-5 canonical examples included
Domain knowledge extracted to Skills if >50 lines
No aggressive language (no CRITICAL/MANDATORY/ABSOLUTE)
Safety via platform features (frontmatter/hooks), not prose

Next Wave

Handoff To: Agent installation and deployment Deliverables: Agent specification file + Skill files (if any)

Frequently asked questions

What does the Nw Forge AI skill do?

Creates new specialized agents using the 5-phase workflow (ANALYZE > DESIGN > CREATE > VALIDATE > REFINE). Use when building a new AI agent or validating an existing agent specification.

Why use Nw Forge on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Nw Forge 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 Nw Forge in TypingMind?

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

Which AI models can use Nw Forge?

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 Nw Forge?

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

Is the Nw Forge AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by nWave-ai 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.
