Teaches static ES2015 import syntax for module dependencies. Use when you need to import code that is required at load time and benefits from static analysis and tree shaking.

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

Installation

Install the Static Import 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.

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/PatternsDev/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/javascript/static-import .claude/skills/static-import

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Static Import 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 Static Import 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 Static Import 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.

Static Import

The import keyword allows us to import code that has been exported by another module. By default, all modules we're statically importing get added to the initial bundle. A module that is imported by using the default ES2015 import syntax, import module from 'module', is statically imported.

Let's look at an example! A simple chat app contains a Chat component, in which we're statically importing and rendering three components: UserProfile, a ChatList, and a ChatInput to type and send messages! Within the ChatInput module, we're statically importing an EmojiPicker component to be able to show the user the emoji picker when the user toggles the emoji.

When to Use

Use this for importing modules that are needed immediately on page load
This is the default import mechanism — understand it to know when to switch to dynamic imports

Instructions

Use static imports for modules critical to the initial render
Be aware that all statically imported modules are bundled into the initial bundle
Consider switching to dynamic imports for modules not needed on initial render

Details

The modules get executed as soon as the engine reaches the line on which we import them.

Since the components were statically imported, Webpack bundled the modules into the initial bundle:

bash
Asset           Size      Chunks            Chunk Names
main.bundle.js  1.5 MiB    main  [emitted]  main

Our chat application's source code gets bundled into one bundle: main.bundle.js. A large bundle size can affect the loading time of our application significantly depending on the user's device and network connection. Before the App component is able to render its contents to the user's screen, it first has to load and parse all modules.

Luckily, there are many ways to speed up the loading time! We don't always have to import all modules at once: maybe there are some modules that should only get rendered based on user interaction, like the EmojiPicker in this case, or rendered further down the page. Instead of importing all component statically, we can dynamically import the modules after the App component has rendered its contents and the user is able to interact with our application.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Static Import AI skill do?

Teaches static ES2015 import syntax for module dependencies. Use when you need to import code that is required at load time and benefits from static analysis and tree shaking.

Why use Static Import on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Static Import 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 Static Import in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/PatternsDev/skills/tree/main/javascript/static-import. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Static Import?

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 Static Import?

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

Is the Static Import AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by PatternsDev 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.
