  • 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.

  • 3 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by Peiiii on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Skild 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/Peiiii/skild/tree/main/skills/skild
  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/Peiiii/skild.git /tmp/skild
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skild/skills/skild .claude/skills/skild
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Skild 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 Skild 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 Skild 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.

skild

skild is the package manager for Agent Skills — like npm, but for AI agents.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • Installing new capabilities for AI agents
  • Managing installed Skills (list, update, uninstall)
  • Publishing Skills to share with the community
  • Searching or discovering new Skills

Agent Search & Discovery (Skild Index)

When an agent needs to find Skills from the Skild index (registry + linked + auto catalog), use the Registry API:

bash
# Unified discovery (registry + linked skills)
curl "https://registry.skild.sh/discover?q=<query>&limit=20"

# Resolve a short alias (optional)
curl "https://registry.skild.sh/resolve?alias=<alias>"

Notes:

  • Prefer alias if present; it provides the shortest install command.
  • Use the returned install string directly (quotes may appear when a #ref is required).
  • /discover supports pagination and filtering:
    • cursor=<nextCursor> for pagination
    • sort=updated|new|downloads_7d|downloads_30d|stars|stars_30d
    • skillset=true|false and category=<id> to narrow results
  • If you need to browse linked items only:
    • https://registry.skild.sh/linked-items?limit=20
  • CLI skild search uses the same unified index.

Agent Workflow (Recommended)

  1. Search via /discover and shortlist results by description/tags.
  2. Confirm with the user and pick the best match.
  3. Install using the provided install command (or alias).
  4. Manage using skild list / info / update / uninstall / sync.

Prerequisites

Node.js ≥18 is required.

bash
npm install -g skild

skild install owner/repo --skill skills/pdf

List Installed Skills

bash
skild list

Output groups Skills by type: Skillsets, Skills, Dependencies.

Manage Skills

bash
skild info <skill>       # Show details
skild update <skill>     # Update to latest

Defaults & Scope

bash
# Default platform & scope
skild config set defaultPlatform codex
skild config set defaultScope project

# Default repo for push
skild config set push.defaultRepo owner/repo

Skillsets

Skillsets bundle multiple Skills for one-command installation:

bash
skild install @skild/data-analyst-pack
# Installs: csv, pandas, sql-helper...

Publishing Skills

bash
# 1. Create account
skild signup

# 2. Login
skild login

# 3. Publish
skild publish --dir ./my-skill

Push to Git Repos (Registry-free)

Use skild push to sync a Skill into a Git repository and push changes.

bash
# Push to GitHub by owner/repo
skild push owner/repo --dir ./my-skill

# Set a default repo (omit <repo> afterwards)
skild config set push.defaultRepo owner/repo
skild push --dir ./my-skill

# Push to a local repo path
skild push ~/work/skills-repo --local --dir ./my-skill

# Push to a specific subdirectory
skild push owner/repo --dir ./my-skill --path skills/my-skill

# Push to a branch (or append #branch to the repo)
skild push owner/repo#dev --dir ./my-skill

Notes:

  • The target path defaults to skills/<skill-name> derived from SKILL.md.
  • Target path cannot be the repo root.
  • The command clones, commits, and pushes to the remote branch.
  • For owner/repo, skild tries SSH first and falls back to HTTPS if SSH auth fails.
  • skild push <repo> always overrides the default repo.
  • You can also set SKILD_DEFAULT_PUSH_REPO to override the default repo per shell.

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 Skild AI skill do?

Skill package manager for AI Agents — install, manage, and publish Agent Skills.

Why use Skild on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Peiiii/skild/tree/main/skills/skild. 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 Skild?

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 Skild?

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

Is the Skild AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Peiiii 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.
