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 openvetta on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Cowart Image Gen 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/openvetta/open-vetta/tree/main/packages/plugins/externals/cowart-vetta/agent/skills/cowart-image-gen
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

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/openvetta/open-vetta.git /tmp/open-vetta
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/open-vetta/packages/plugins/externals/cowart-vetta/agent/skills/cowart-image-gen .claude/skills/cowart-image-gen

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Cowart Image Gen 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 Cowart Image Gen 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 Cowart Image Gen 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.

Cowart Image Gen (Vetta)

Vetta image tools (required)

Intent	Tool
Brand-new image / fill AI image holder / invent a scene	`generate_image`
Revise an existing image or annotation screenshot	`edit_image` (use `cowart-image-edit` skill)

Do not use an imagegen skill or ad-hoc scripts. After the bitmap exists on disk, place it with Cowart MCP insert_cowart_image.

Preconditions

Cowart MCP tools should be available (plugin cowart-vetta enabled). Prefer opening the canvas first (open_cowart_canvas).

Workflow

Read selection with MCP get_cowart_selection (projectDir = user workspace).
If exactly one selected shape is an AI image holder (isAiImageHolder or meta.cowartAiImageHolder), use holder size (props.w / props.h) as the generation contract.
Call generate_image to produce the bitmap. Resolve the real local output path.
Call MCP insert_cowart_image with projectDir and that image path:
- Holder selected → prefer replace the holder (replaceAiImageHolder: true).
- Otherwise insert onto the current page (from view/canvas state).

Constraints

Pass user projectDir, not the plugin root.
Keep original holders only if the user asks to preserve slots.
Include target aspect ratio in the generate_image prompt when replacing a holder.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Cowart Image Gen AI skill do?

Why use Cowart Image Gen on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Cowart Image Gen 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 Cowart Image Gen in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/openvetta/open-vetta/tree/main/packages/plugins/externals/cowart-vetta/agent/skills/cowart-image-gen. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Cowart Image Gen?

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 Cowart Image Gen?

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

Is the Cowart Image Gen AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by openvetta under the Apache-2.0 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.
