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

Installation

Install the Synonyms 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/QwenLM/qwen-code.git /tmp/qwen-code
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/qwen-code/packages/cli/src/commands/extensions/examples/skills/skills/synonyms .claude/skills/synonyms
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Synonyms 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 Synonyms 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 Synonyms 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.

This skill helps generate synonyms and alternative expressions for given words or phrases. It provides contextually appropriate alternatives to enhance vocabulary and improve writing variety.

The user provides a word, phrase, or sentence where they need synonym suggestions. They may specify the context, tone, or formality level desired.

Synonym Generation Guidelines

When generating synonyms, consider:

  • Context: The specific domain or situation where the word will be used
  • Tone: Formal, informal, neutral, academic, conversational, etc.
  • Nuance: Subtle differences in meaning between similar words
  • Register: Appropriate level of formality for the intended audience

Output Format

For each input word or phrase, provide:

  1. Direct Synonyms: Words with nearly identical meanings
  2. Related Alternatives: Words with similar but slightly different connotations
  3. Context Examples: Brief usage examples when helpful

Best Practices

  • Prioritize commonly used synonyms over obscure alternatives
  • Note any subtle differences in meaning or usage
  • Consider regional variations when relevant
  • Indicate formality levels (formal/informal/neutral)
  • Provide multiple options to give users choices

Example

Input: "happy"

Synonyms:

  • Direct: joyful, cheerful, delighted, pleased, content
  • Informal: thrilled, stoked, over the moon
  • Formal: elated, gratified, blissful
  • Subtle variations:
    • content - peaceful satisfaction
    • ecstatic - intense, overwhelming happiness
    • cheerful - outwardly expressing happiness

Frequently asked questions

What does the Synonyms AI skill do?

Generate synonyms for words or phrases. Use this skill when the user needs alternative words with similar meanings, wants to expand vocabulary, or seeks varied expressions for writing.

Why use Synonyms on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/tree/main/packages/cli/src/commands/extensions/examples/skills/skills/synonyms. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Synonyms?

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 Synonyms?

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

Is the Synonyms AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by QwenLM under the Apache-2.0 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.
