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

Installation

Install the Agent Mode 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/PhyAgentOS/PhyAgentOS-core.git /tmp/PhyAgentOS-core
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/PhyAgentOS-core/PhyAgentOS/skills/agent-mode .claude/skills/agent-mode

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Agent Mode 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 Agent Mode 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 Agent Mode 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.

Agent Mode Manager

Unified tool for managing agent LLM modes including adding, removing, updating, listing, and switching models.

Features

List all available models with mode and description
Switch to a specific model mode based on mode
Add new model configurations
Remove existing model configurations
Update existing model configurations

Tools

This skill provides the following tool:

`agent_mode`

Unified tool for agent mode management.

Parameters:

method (string, required): The method to perform - add, remove, update, list, or switch
mode (string, optional): Mode name (e.g., "common", "coding", "multimodal"). Default is "common". Required for all methods except list.
model (string, optional): Model identifier (e.g., "openai/qwen3.5:cloud"). Required for add and update methods.
describe (string, optional): Description of the model. Required for add and update methods.

Example - List all models:


<tool>agent_mode</tool>
<parameter name="method">list</parameter>

Example - Switch to coding mode:


<tool>agent_mode</tool>
<parameter name="method">switch</parameter>
<parameter name="mode">coding</parameter>

Example - Switch to common mode:


<tool>agent_mode</tool>
<parameter name="method">switch</parameter>
<parameter name="mode">common</parameter>

Example - Add a new coding model openai/qwen3-coder-next:cloud with describe: a coding model:


<tool>agent_mode</tool>
<parameter name="method">add</parameter>
<parameter name="mode">coding</parameter>
<parameter name="model">openai/qwen3-coder-next:cloud</parameter>
<parameter name="describe">a coding model</parameter>

Example - Remove the coding mode:


<tool>agent_mode</tool>
<parameter name="method">remove</parameter>
<parameter name="mode">coding</parameter>

Example - Update a model for coding to openai/qwen3-coder-next:cloud:


<tool>agent_mode</tool>
<parameter name="method">update</parameter>
<parameter name="mode">coding</parameter>
<parameter name="model">openai/qwen3-coder-next:cloud</parameter>

Usage

When users want to manage agent modes:

"List all available models" → Call agent_mode with method: "list"
"Switch to coding mode" → Call agent_mode with method: "switch", mode: "coding"
"Add a new model" → Call agent_mode with method: "add", mode: "xxx", model: "xxx", describe: "xxx"
"Remove a model" → Call agent_mode with method: "remove", mode: "xxx"
"Update a model" → Call agent_mode with method: "update", mode: "xxx", model: "xxx", describe: "xxx"

Always use tool to manage agent modes, do not think by you self!

Frequently asked questions

What does the Agent Mode AI skill do?

Unified tool for managing agent LLM modes (add, remove, update, list, switch).

Why use Agent Mode on TypingMind?

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

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

Which AI models can use Agent Mode?

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 Agent Mode?

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

Is the Agent Mode AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by PhyAgentOS 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.
