run-agent

Configures and runs agents with different adapters including Claude, OpenAI, CrewAI, Lyzr, and GitHub Models. Supports local execution, remote git repos, and one-shot prompts. Use when the user wants to run an agent, switch LLM providers, configure adapter settings, or launch agents from git repositories.

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 open-gitagent on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Run Agent 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.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Points to a single skill folder, or any folder that contains multiple skills. Public repos only.

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/open-gitagent/opengap.git /tmp/opengap
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/opengap/examples/gitagent-helper/skills/run-agent .claude/skills/run-agent

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Run Agent 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 Run Agent 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 Run Agent 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.

Run Agents

When to Use

When a user wants to run an agent locally, from a git repo, or with a specific adapter/framework.

Troubleshooting

If you see authentication errors:

Claude: Ensure Claude Code is authenticated (claude auth status)
OpenAI: Verify OPENAI_API_KEY is set and valid
GitHub: Check GITHUB_TOKEN has correct permissions
Lyzr: Confirm LYZR_API_KEY is active

Basic Usage

bash
# Run local agent with Claude (default)
opengap run -d ./my-agent

# Run from git repo
opengap run -r https://github.com/user/agent

# Run with a prompt (one-shot mode)
opengap run -d ./my-agent -p "Review my code"

Adapters

Adapter	Flag	Env Var Required	Interactive
Claude	`-a claude`	(uses Claude Code auth)	Yes
OpenAI	`-a openai`	`OPENAI_API_KEY`	No
CrewAI	`-a crewai`	—	No
OpenClaw	`-a openclaw`	`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`	No (`-p` required)
Nanobot	`-a nanobot`	`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`	Yes
Lyzr	`-a lyzr`	`LYZR_API_KEY`	No (`-p` required)
GitHub	`-a github`	`GITHUB_TOKEN`	No (`-p` required)
Git	`-a git`	(auto-detects)	Depends
Prompt	`-a prompt`	—	Print only

Examples

bash
# Claude (interactive)
opengap run -d ./my-agent

# GitHub Models (one-shot, streaming)
export GITHUB_TOKEN="ghp_..."
opengap run -d ./my-agent -a github -p "Explain this codebase"

# Lyzr (creates agent on Lyzr Studio + chats)
export LYZR_API_KEY="..."
opengap run -r https://github.com/user/agent -a lyzr -p "Hello"

# Lyzr one-liner (clone + create + chat)
opengap lyzr run -r https://github.com/user/agent -p "Hello"

# Auto-detect adapter from repo
opengap run -r https://github.com/user/agent -a git -p "Hello"

# Just print the system prompt
opengap run -d ./my-agent -a prompt

Git Caching

Repos cloned via -r are cached at ~/.gitagent/cache/:

bash
# Use cache (default)
opengap run -r https://github.com/user/agent

# Force refresh
opengap run -r https://github.com/user/agent --refresh

# No cache (temp dir, deleted after)
opengap run -r https://github.com/user/agent --no-cache

Auto-Detection (`-a git`)

The git adapter detects the best runner from the repo:

.gitagent_adapter file (explicit hint)
Model name (claude-* → claude, gpt-* → openai)
Framework files (CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, crew.yaml, .lyzr_agent_id, .github_models)
Default: claude

Frequently asked questions

What does the Run Agent AI skill do?

Why use Run Agent on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Run Agent 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 Run Agent in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/open-gitagent/opengap/tree/main/examples/gitagent-helper/skills/run-agent. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Run Agent?

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 Run Agent?

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

Is the Run Agent AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by open-gitagent 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.
