Resolve a library choice and add the selected dependency. Trigger for competing-library questions or an optional package not already fixed by the project stack — at first use (tabular exploration, pipeline, or eval extras), never during workspace setup.

  • 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.

  • 1 bundled files

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

  • Open source

    Published by probabl-ai on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Choose Python Library 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/probabl-ai/skore-skills/tree/main/skills/choose-python-library
  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/probabl-ai/skore-skills.git /tmp/skore-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skore-skills/skills/choose-python-library .claude/skills/choose-python-library
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Choose Python Library 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 Choose Python Library 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 Choose Python Library 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.

Human-facing prose

Details: setup-workspace references/human_facing_prose.md. Present library options as a data-science choice for this job. Do not name skill ids or the wrapper CLI in the question.

  1. State the job and constraints.
  2. Run python -m skore_skills env stack. A job listed under competing is a genuine choice; anything the policy already fixes (mandatory, stage, export) is settled — use it rather than reopening the choice. Do not read the packaged JSON file directly; it lives inside the installed package.
  3. For a genuine choice, present the smallest useful option set and ask the user. Do not pick silently.
  4. After the user chooses, load add-python-package when status.skills reports it installed. If it is not installed, name the package and stop. Do not call env add from this skill. Typical callers: explore-ml-data (pandas vs polars), later extras (tuning). Not setup-workspace. Plotting jobs: load plot-ml-figure if installed; do not present matplotlib vs seaborn vs plotly.
  5. Confirm symbols with python -m skore_skills api get <dotted>... before writing calls. Several symbols go in one call. Scope for one package is python -m skore_skills env route <pkg>, not a guess.

Stop conditions

  • Do not install every candidate.
  • Do not use popularity alone as a technical decision.
  • Do not run pip directly in a managed project.
  • Do not substitute black/isort for Ruff or sklearn Pipeline for skrub DataOps; those choices are already fixed.
  • Do not present matplotlib vs seaborn vs plotly; that job is plot-ml-figure.

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 Choose Python Library AI skill do?

Resolve a library choice and add the selected dependency. Trigger for competing-library questions or an optional package not already fixed by the project stack — at first use (tabular exploration, pipeline, or eval extras), never during workspace setup.

Why use Choose Python Library on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Choose Python Library 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 Choose Python Library in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/probabl-ai/skore-skills/tree/main/skills/choose-python-library. 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 Choose Python Library?

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 Choose Python Library?

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

Is the Choose Python Library AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by probabl-ai under the BSD-3-Clause 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.
