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.
110 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by okou-ai on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Extract Template 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/okou-ai/okou-skills/tree/main/extract-template
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/okou-ai/okou-skills.git /tmp/okou-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/okou-skills/extract-template .claude/skills/extract-template

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Extract Template 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 Extract Template 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 Extract Template 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.

Extract a reusable template from a file

Choose the intended template, select its extraction guide, then follow that guide through inspection, extraction, validation and saving.

1. Choose the template type

Use the user's requested template type. For example, a report can supply the visual style for a presentation template. When the user leaves the type open, identify what the source contains:

Template type	Source content
Presentation	Slides organized around individual ideas, with display text and visual compositions
Document	A report, letter, resume, invoice or other document with reading order and document structure
Illustration	Artwork whose drawing style will be reused

Classify PDFs and page images by their content. A slide screenshot belongs to presentation; a scanned document belongs to document. Sparse text or a short page count alone does not make a document a slide deck. Several artwork references in one drawing style form one illustration template.

2. Select the source and guide

Keep the original file. When both an authoring file and its export are available, prefer the authoring file: .pptx over its PDF, .docx over its PDF.

Chosen template	Available source	Guide
Presentation	HTML file, HTML directory or deck URL; `.pptx`, `.ppt`, PDF or ordered slide images	Presentation extraction
Document	Word file	Word extraction
Document	PDF	PDF extraction
Illustration	One or more artwork images	Illustration extraction

Prepare another format only when the selected guide requires it:

PDF slide decks: convert with pdf2htmlEX, then use the presentation guide's HTML extraction flow; keep the original PDF for captures and upload.
Scanned document images: assemble an ordered PDF for the PDF guide.
Cross-format reuse: export slides to PDF for a Word-style template, or a Word report to PDF for a presentation template. The requested template type stays the same.

Keep conversions alongside the original source.

3. Follow the selected guide

cd into the selected guide's directory; its commands and paths are relative to that directory.

The guide handles source rendering when needed. Rendering produces page images for inspecting layout, typography, colours and image crops; those captures become the visual reference for extraction. Keep the original for structure and style metadata. Reuse existing source captures; no need to render them again.

Document guides use document-reuse.md to choose between slot filling, structure and expression reuse, and style extraction. The presentation guide separately identifies extraction files and the generation files bundled into the saved template.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

and 50 more files.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Extract Template AI skill do?

Why use Extract Template on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Extract Template 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 Extract Template in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/okou-ai/okou-skills/tree/main/extract-template. 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 Extract Template?

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 Extract Template?

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

Is the Extract Template AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by okou-ai. Check the repository for licensing terms. 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.
