  • 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 Pinvou on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Skill Author 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.
  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.
2

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/Pinvou/pinvou-agent.git /tmp/pinvou-agent
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/pinvou-agent/pinvou3-app/src-tauri/resources/common/skill-marketplace/skill-author .claude/skills/skill-author
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Skill Author 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 Skill Author 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 Skill Author 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.

技能创建(skill-author)

把用户的一句描述,变成一个可用的技能SKILL.md 目录)。规范与「插件包标准化」 (package-author)同源;本技能只管「从描述到 SKILL.md」,打包交给 package-author 的规则。

何时用 / 何时不用

  • ✅ 用:用户说"写个技能 / 创建 skill / 生成 SKILL.md / 做个 XX 技能",或描述了一个 想要的能力但还没有技能文件。
  • ❌ 不用:用户已有技能文件、只是要打包/标准化 → 走「插件包标准化」;或只是写普通 脚本/网页(非技能);或要装/卸/开关某个已存在的工具。

先问清(问清再动手,别猜)

  1. 技能做什么:一句话说清能力边界(不要贪多,一个技能干一件事)。
  2. 何时触发:用户在什么场景/说什么话时该用这个技能?
  3. 现成素材:有没有要一起打包的脚本、命令、资料、模板?
  4. 命名:技能名(英文 kebab-case,语义化小写,如 git-commit-helper)。

用户没给全时,先补问;用户说"你看着办"才自行定,并在产出里说明可改。

生成 SKILL.md

frontmatter(必填两项):

markdown
---
name: <name>                 # [a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,64},语义化小写 kebab-case
description: <做什么 + 何时用>  # 模型触发它的依据,一句话写清楚
---

正文(给模型看的指令),按需包含:

  • 目标:这个技能要达成什么。
  • 步骤/流程:明确、可执行的步骤(1/2/3…)。
  • 红线:绝不能做的事(编造 ID/凭据、越界调用等)。
  • 示例:一两个典型输入→输出。

硬规则:

  • name 建议 ASCII 小写 kebab-case;导入校验实际允许 [a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,64}(含大写),禁 ./../路径分隔符/空格。
  • description 必须讲清「做什么 + 何时用」,别只写"一个有用的技能"。
  • 参考资料放 references/*.md,正文只列目录(渐进披露);别把大段内容全塞进正文。
  • 技能要自包含:指令里写清依赖、前置条件、失败处理。

落盘:写 skills/<name>/SKILL.md(相对工作目录),并列出文件清单。

可选:导出标准包(结合「插件包标准化」)

用户要"能上传/能安装/给我一个包"时,按 package-author 的规则补齐:

  1. 目录:<id>/skills/<name>/SKILL.md(+ 可选 references/)。
  2. plugin.jsonmanifest_version:1id 全小写、components.skills:[{id:<name>, dir:"skills/<name>"}]
  3. 图标:生成一个简约 icon.svg(24×24 几何、stroke="currentColor"、无外链/脚本)。
  4. 校验命名与布局 → 产出 <id>/ 目录或 <id>.zip(zip 根就是 plugin.json,别多套一层)。

收尾:询问是否安装

  • 生成(或导出)完成后,主动问用户:"已生成 XXX 技能,要安装吗?"
  • 说明安装方式:把 <id>.zip 拖进插件中心上传,或到商店「技能」区点安装。
  • 安装/上传成功后的默认开关随会话模式而异:普通会话默认启用;代码(code)会话默认停用,需用户在工具/技能开关中手动启用。
  • 不要擅自安装/上传,等用户确认;用户说"装"再给下一步指引。

校验清单(交活前逐条过)

  1. SKILL.md frontmatter 有 name + descriptionname 合法([a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,64},建议小写 kebab-case)。
  2. 正文有可执行步骤 + 红线(若有)。
  3. (若导出)plugin.json 齐、目录布局对、有 icon.svg
  4. 已询问用户是否安装,未擅自操作。

What does the Skill Author AI skill do?

Why use Skill Author on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Pinvou/pinvou-agent/tree/main/pinvou3-app/src-tauri/resources/common/skill-marketplace/skill-author. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Skill Author?

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 Skill Author?

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

Is the Skill Author AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Pinvou 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.
