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

Installation

Install the Internal Application Routing 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.
https://github.com/RedHatProductSecurity/prodsec-skills/tree/main/module/skills/internal-application-routing
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

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/RedHatProductSecurity/prodsec-skills.git /tmp/prodsec-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/prodsec-skills/module/skills/internal-application-routing .claude/skills/internal-application-routing

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Internal Application Routing 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 Internal Application Routing 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 Internal Application Routing 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.

Internal Application Routing Through API Gateway

Security Recommendation

Internal applications SHOULD also route their requests through the API gateway rather than connecting directly to guardrails or inference engines. This ensures internal traffic benefits from the same security controls as external traffic.

Rationale

Concern	Without Gateway	With Gateway
Authentication	Must be implemented per-service	Centralized enforcement
Rate limiting	No protection from internal abuse	Consistent rate limits
Request validation	Each service must validate independently	Centralized validation
Logging/audit	Fragmented, inconsistent	Unified audit trail
Lateral movement	Internal compromise can reach models directly	Gateway acts as chokepoint

Architecture


External clients ──→ API Gateway ──→ Guardrails ──→ Inference Engine
                         ↑
Internal apps ───────────┘  (also routed through gateway)

Not recommended:

Internal apps ───────────────────────────┘───────────────┘
                                (bypassing gateway - NOT recommended)

Implementation Checklist

Route all internal application traffic through the API gateway
Apply the same authentication requirements to internal and external traffic
Ensure rate limiting covers internal applications
Use network policies to prevent direct access from internal apps to inference engines
If direct access is required for specific cases, document the justification and compensating controls

Frequently asked questions

What does the Internal Application Routing AI skill do?

Route internal application traffic through the API gateway for AI systems. Use when designing AI system architecture or reviewing network topology for inference engines and model endpoints.

Why use Internal Application Routing on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Internal Application Routing 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 Internal Application Routing in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/RedHatProductSecurity/prodsec-skills/tree/main/module/skills/internal-application-routing. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Internal Application Routing?

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 Internal Application Routing?

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

Is the Internal Application Routing AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by RedHatProductSecurity 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.
