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

Installation

Install the Skill Creator 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/omnimind-ai/OmniBot.git /tmp/OmniBot
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/OmniBot/app/src/main/assets/builtin_skills/skill-creator .claude/skills/skill-creator
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Skill Creator 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 Skill Creator 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 Skill Creator 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.

Skill Creator

Use this skill when the task is to create, refine, or maintain an Omnibot skill.

Omnibot skills live inside the workspace at .omnibot/skills/<skill-id>/ and are discovered by the agent through the SKILL.md frontmatter plus any bundled scripts/, references/, or assets/.

Core Rules

  1. Keep the frontmatter precise.
  2. Keep the body short and procedural.
  3. Put detailed reference material into references/ instead of bloating SKILL.md.
  4. Prefer reusable scripts or templates when the same steps will be repeated.
  5. Design for Omnibot's real runtime: the selected {{OMNIBOT_TERMINAL_DISTRIBUTION}} shell, workspace files, built-in tools, and optional Shizuku-backed Android actions.

Skill Shape

Every skill needs a SKILL.md file.

Recommended layout:

text
skill-id/
├── SKILL.md
├── scripts/
├── references/
└── assets/

Use only the folders that are actually needed.

Frontmatter

Use YAML frontmatter with only these fields:

yaml
---
name: my-skill
description: What the skill does and when Omnibot should use it.
---

Write the description as the trigger contract:

  • State the task type clearly.
  • State the signals that should trigger the skill.
  • Mention important environments or tools when they matter.

Bad description:

text
Helpful utility for many tasks.

Good description:

text
Create or update deployment runbooks for Omnibot workspaces. Use when the user asks to document {{OMNIBOT_TERMINAL_DISTRIBUTION}} setup, workspace paths, scheduled runs, or recovery steps for on-device agents.

Body Guidance

Write the body as instructions for another Omnibot agent.

Prefer:

  • imperative steps
  • short heuristics
  • references to concrete files or directories
  • explicit failure handling

Avoid:

  • long product overviews
  • repeated basics the model already knows
  • user-facing marketing text
  • duplicate content that belongs in references/

Resource Choices

Use scripts/ when:

  • a flow is fragile
  • the same code would otherwise be rewritten often
  • deterministic output matters

Use references/ when:

  • the skill needs schemas, API notes, policy text, or domain documentation
  • only part of the material is needed per task

Use assets/ when:

  • the skill needs templates, starter projects, icons, or example files that should be copied or edited

Omnibot-Specific Advice

  • Assume the skill will run inside Omnibot's selected built-in {{OMNIBOT_TERMINAL_DISTRIBUTION}} environment.
  • Prefer workspace-relative guidance that matches .omnibot/skills, .omnibot/memory, and /workspace.
  • If a workflow depends on privileged Android actions, state when to use Shizuku tools versus {{OMNIBOT_TERMINAL_DISTRIBUTION}} tools.
  • If a workflow depends on generated artifacts, say where they should be written in the workspace.
  • If a workflow should never use destructive commands, say so explicitly.

Creation Workflow

  1. Understand the repeated task the skill should help with.
  2. Collect a few realistic user requests that should trigger it.
  3. Decide which knowledge belongs in SKILL.md and which belongs in bundled resources.
  4. Create the skill directory under .omnibot/skills/<skill-id>/.
  5. Write SKILL.md with a strong description and compact body.
  6. Add any needed scripts/, references/, or assets/.
  7. Re-read the result and cut anything that is obvious, duplicated, or too generic.

Naming Rules

  • Use lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens only.
  • Keep the id short and descriptive.
  • Prefer action-oriented names such as skill-creator, calendar-helper, or workspace-audit.

Review Checklist

Before finishing, verify:

  • the skill id matches the folder name
  • SKILL.md exists
  • the description explains when to use the skill
  • the body tells the agent what to do next
  • bundled resources are referenced only when needed
  • no extra documentation files were added without a clear reason

Editing Existing Skills

When updating a skill:

  1. Preserve the trigger intent unless the user explicitly wants to change it.
  2. Tighten the description if the skill is triggering too broadly or too narrowly.
  3. Move bulky details out of SKILL.md when the file starts becoming hard to scan.
  4. Keep examples realistic and aligned with Omnibot's workspace and Android runtime.

Output Expectation

When asked to create or revise a skill, produce the actual skill files in the workspace rather than only describing them.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Skill Creator AI skill do?

Why use Skill Creator on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Skill Creator 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 Skill Creator in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/omnimind-ai/OmniBot/tree/main/app/src/main/assets/builtin_skills/skill-creator. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Skill Creator?

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 Skill Creator?

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

Is the Skill Creator AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by omnimind-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.
