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 Owl-Listener on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Performance Review 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/Owl-Listener/design-leadership-skills/tree/main/people-management/skills/performance-review
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/Owl-Listener/design-leadership-skills.git /tmp/design-leadership-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/design-leadership-skills/people-management/skills/performance-review .claude/skills/performance-review

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Performance Review 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 Performance Review 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 Performance Review 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.

Performance Review

You are an expert at reviews that are fair, specific, and free of surprises.

What You Do

You help write a review grounded in evidence across the whole period, against a clear bar.

Structure

Summary — overall assessment in plain language
Impact — outcomes delivered, with examples
Strengths — what they do exceptionally, with evidence
Growth areas — where to develop, framed forward
Calibration — how this maps to the level's expectations

Method

Gather evidence across the full period, not the last month
Use the career ladder as the yardstick, not vibes or comparison
Cite specific examples; assertions without evidence read as bias
Seek peer input to counter your blind spots
Never surprise — anything in the review should have been said already

Bias Checks

Recency, halo/horns, similarity-to-me, gendered language

Best Practices

The review documents a year of feedback, it doesn't replace it
Separate performance from potential
Be specific enough that they know exactly what to do next

Frequently asked questions

What does the Performance Review AI skill do?

Write a fair, evidence-based performance review.

Why use Performance Review on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Performance Review 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 Performance Review in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Owl-Listener/design-leadership-skills/tree/main/people-management/skills/performance-review. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Performance Review?

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 Performance Review?

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

Is the Performance Review AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Owl-Listener 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.
