publish-mod

Package and release a finished game mod. Covers the pre-release lint (no game files, decompiled code or leaked keys), README and install steps, credits and AI disclosure, versioning, where to upload (Nexus Mods, Steam Workshop, Thunderstore, mod.io, GitHub releases), and the post with a video. Use when the user wants to ship, share, upload, release or post a mod.

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 rehan-remade on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Publish Mod 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/rehan-remade/universal-modder/tree/main/.agents/skills/publish-mod
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/rehan-remade/universal-modder.git /tmp/universal-modder
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/universal-modder/.agents/skills/publish-mod .claude/skills/publish-mod

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Publish Mod 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 Publish Mod 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 Publish Mod 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.

Publish a mod

1. Lint

bash
um publish check ./MyMod --game "<game install folder>"

FAIL: files byte-identical to game files, leaked keys (fal/Anthropic/OpenAI/GitHub/AWS), .env files.
WARN: decompiler fingerprints in source (FUN_/DAT_/sub_ names, "Decompiled with" headers), large engine archives, absolute user paths, a missing README, fal assets without credit.

Fix every FAIL. Resolve each WARN deliberately. For example, AoE2 data mods do ship a modified .dat, which is the platform's norm.

2. Package the way the platform expects

Platform / loader	Package
tModLoader	Build → `.tmod`; publish from the in-game Mod Sources menu (Steam Workshop)
BepInEx / Thunderstore	zip with `manifest.json`, `icon.png` (256×256), `README.md`, `plugins/<Mod>.dll`; dependency strings like `BepInEx-BepInExPack-5.4.2100`
Nexus Mods	zip laid out as it installs (`Data/...` for Bethesda, `BepInEx/plugins/...`, `ue4ss/Mods/...`, `~mods/*.pak`)
AoE2 DE	the official mod site (ageofempires.com/mods) or the in-game uploader; data mods include `resources/_common/dat/...`
Steam Workshop	the game's own uploader or SDK tool
Minecraft	Modrinth / CurseForge jar with `fabric.mod.json` / `neoforge.mods.toml`
ROM hacks / GameMaker	patches only (BPS/IPS/xdelta), never the modified game file

3. README (in the zip and on the page)

What it adds: bullets, a GIF or the showcase video.
Requirements: game version, the loader and its version, dependencies.
Install, uninstall and troubleshooting (where the log is).
Compatibility: multiplayer? Known conflicts?
Credits:
- the loader and libraries;
- references you learned from;
- "Art/audio generated with fal (fal.ai) using " (fal_manifest.jsonl lists them);
- honest AI disclosure (which agent and model built it).
License for your code (MIT/Apache is common). Your assets' terms follow the models' licenses.

4. Version and changelog

Use semver in the manifest/build file, name the supported game version, and keep a changelog. When the game updates, re-run the in-game test scene before bumping.

5. The post

Lead with the video: the showcase-video skill; 20-45 s, gameplay within 2-3 s.
Post text: the hook, what it is, the "how" credit (which agent + fal built it), a link.
If the video uses anyone else's footage, credit them by handle and ask first.
Publishing is always the user's call. Draft it, show them, and let them press the button.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Publish Mod AI skill do?

Why use Publish Mod on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/rehan-remade/universal-modder/tree/main/.agents/skills/publish-mod. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Publish Mod?

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 Publish Mod?

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

Is the Publish Mod AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by rehan-remade 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.
