  • 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-legal-products on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Compare Documents 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.
    https://github.com/open-legal-products/mike-workflows/tree/main/assistant-workflows/compare-documents
  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.

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-legal-products/mike-workflows.git /tmp/mike-workflows
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/mike-workflows/assistant-workflows/compare-documents .claude/skills/compare-documents
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Compare Documents 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 Compare Documents 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 Compare Documents 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.

Compare Documents

Instructions

Compare the uploaded documents for a legal or business reviewer. Focus on the provisions, terms, risks, and commercial points that differ across the documents. The comparison must work for any number of uploaded documents.

Produce the comparison as a Markdown table. The table must have exactly these columns:

  • Topic
  • One column for each uploaded document, using the document name or a short readable document label as the column heading
  • Difference

For example, if three documents are uploaded, the table should use this shape:

TopicDocument ADocument BDocument CDifference

Compare the documents across the most relevant topics, including where available:

  • Parties and roles
  • Document date and effective date
  • Term, expiry, renewal, and extension rights
  • Scope of work, services, deliverables, or subject matter
  • Fees, pricing, payment terms, penalties, and currency
  • Conditions precedent, approvals, consents, and notices
  • Representations, warranties, covenants, and restrictions
  • Confidentiality, IP ownership, data protection, and use rights
  • Assignment, transfer, change of control, and subcontracting
  • Termination rights, suspension rights, cure periods, and consequences
  • Liability caps, indemnities, exclusions, insurance, and remedies
  • Governing law, jurisdiction, dispute resolution, and service of process

Use concise entries in the document columns. Under each document column, state the relevant term and include the best available location with citations, such as clause, section, schedule, page, paragraph, or heading. If citations are available, include them inline with the location. If a location is unclear, describe it as specifically as possible.

In the Difference column, explain what changed or diverges, including any negotiation, legal, operational, or commercial significance where useful.

After the table, include a short Key Takeaways section with no more than five bullets summarising the most important differences and follow-up actions.

Do not invent facts, clauses, parties, dates, amounts, or obligations. If a topic is not addressed in a document, write "Not stated" for that document. If the uploaded documents are not comparable, explain why and provide the closest useful comparison.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Compare Documents AI skill do?

Compare the uploaded documents in a structured table, highlighting key similarities, differences, risks, and follow-up points.

Why use Compare Documents on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Compare Documents 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 Compare Documents in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/open-legal-products/mike-workflows/tree/main/assistant-workflows/compare-documents. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Compare Documents?

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 Compare Documents?

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

Is the Compare Documents AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by open-legal-products 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.
