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.
4 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by pedronauck on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Bubbletea 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/pedronauck/skills/tree/main/skills/mine/bubbletea
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/pedronauck/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/skills/mine/bubbletea .claude/skills/bubbletea

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Bubbletea 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 Bubbletea 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 Bubbletea 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.

Bubble Tea TUI Development

Work with the repository's installed Bubble Tea/Lip Gloss versions and existing model/update/view structure. Use current official docs for version-specific API changes; do not assume bundled examples match the consuming project's major version.

Implementation

Reuse nearby components and state ownership. A small widget does not require a new project scaffold, YAML configuration, hot reload, mouse handling, or effects library.
Before changing layout, inspect the relevant guidance in references/golden-rules.md. Measure the actual frame/padding and clamp small-terminal dimensions; subtracting a fixed two cells is valid only for that exact border.
Use terminal-cell/ANSI-aware measurement and truncation. Do not slice strings by byte length or assume code points equal display width. Choose clipping, wrapping, or scrolling for the content's behavior; not all bordered text must truncate.
Keep hit-testing consistent with the rendered layout and focus state. Proportional sizing is useful for flexible panes; fixed sizes are valid for intentional controls.
Keep effectful work outside rendering and preserve the model/update lifecycle. Validate the changed interaction and relevant narrow/wide terminal sizes; add an owning test only when behavior lacks coverage.

Bundled templates are optional starting points for a new application. Adapt their API versions and layout assumptions; do not replace a working project structure or add dependencies it does not need. Install required dependencies through the repository's package workflow, not by hand-editing go.mod. Product behavior, terminal constraints, and project conventions take precedence over illustrative examples.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Bubbletea AI skill do?

Build interactive Go TUIs with Bubbletea, Elm architecture, Lipgloss, layouts, and keyboard/mouse handling. Excludes plain-text CLIs, web/desktop GUIs, and other TUI frameworks.

Why use Bubbletea on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/pedronauck/skills/tree/main/skills/mine/bubbletea. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Bubbletea?

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 Bubbletea?

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

Is the Bubbletea AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by pedronauck 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.
