  • 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.

  • 13 bundled files

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

  • Open source

    Published by sendaifun on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Kamino 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/sendaifun/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/skills/kamino .claude/skills/kamino
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Kamino 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 Kamino 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 Kamino 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.

Scope Oracle (scope-sdk)

Oracle price aggregator providing reliable pricing data.

Initialize Scope

typescript
import { Scope } from "@kamino-finance/scope-sdk";
import { Connection, clusterApiUrl } from "@solana/web3.js";

const connection = new Connection(clusterApiUrl("mainnet-beta"));
const scope = new Scope("mainnet-beta", connection);

Get Oracle Prices

typescript
// Get all oracle prices
const prices = await scope.getOraclePrices();

// Prices indexed by token
console.log("SOL Price:", prices.get("SOL"));
console.log("USDC Price:", prices.get("USDC"));

// Get specific price
const solPrice = await scope.getPrice("SOL");
console.log("SOL/USD:", solPrice.price.toString());
console.log("Timestamp:", solPrice.timestamp);
console.log("Confidence:", solPrice.confidence);

Price Feeds

Scope aggregates from multiple oracle sources:

  • Pyth: Real-time market prices
  • Switchboard: Decentralized oracle network
  • TWAP: Time-weighted average prices
  • CLMM Prices: DEX-derived prices
typescript
// Get price with source info
const priceData = await scope.getPriceWithMetadata("SOL");
console.log("Price:", priceData.price);
console.log("Source:", priceData.source);
console.log("Age (slots):", priceData.ageSlots);

  borrowEnabled: boolean;
  withdrawEnabled: boolean;
}

Error Handling

typescript
import { KaminoError, ErrorCode } from "@kamino-finance/klend-sdk";

try {
  await kaminoAction.execute();
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof KaminoError) {
    switch (error.code) {
      case ErrorCode.InsufficientCollateral:
        console.error("Not enough collateral for this borrow");
        break;
      case ErrorCode.BorrowLimitExceeded:
        console.error("Borrow limit reached for this reserve");
        break;
      case ErrorCode.LiquidationThresholdExceeded:
        console.error("Position is at risk of liquidation");
        break;
      case ErrorCode.InvalidObligation:
        console.error("Obligation account not found or invalid");
        break;
      default:
        console.error("Kamino error:", error.message);
    }
  } else {
    throw error;
  }
}

Best Practices

Health Factor Monitoring

typescript
async function checkHealthFactor(
  market: KaminoMarket,
  wallet: PublicKey
): Promise<number> {
  await market.refreshAll();
  const obligation = await market.getUserVanillaObligation(wallet);

  if (!obligation) return Infinity;

  const stats = obligation.refreshedStats;
  const healthFactor = stats.borrowLimit / stats.borrowedValue;

  if (healthFactor < 1.1) {
    console.warn("WARNING: Health factor below 1.1, consider adding collateral");
  }

  return healthFactor;
}

Transaction Optimization

typescript
// Use lookup tables for smaller transactions
const { instructions, lookupTables } = await kaminoAction.buildWithLookupTables();

// Create versioned transaction
const messageV0 = new TransactionMessage({
  payerKey: wallet.publicKey,
  recentBlockhash: (await connection.getLatestBlockhash()).blockhash,
  instructions,
}).compileToV0Message(lookupTables);

const tx = new VersionedTransaction(messageV0);
tx.sign([wallet]);

await sendAndConfirmTransaction(connection, tx, [wallet]);

Slippage Protection

typescript
// For liquidity operations, always use slippage protection
const slippage = new Decimal(0.005); // 0.5% max slippage

const depositIxs = await kamino.deposit(
  strategy,
  wallet.publicKey,
  tokenAAmount,
  tokenBAmount,
  slippage  // Protects against price movement
);

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 Kamino AI skill do?

Complete guide for Kamino Finance - Solana's leading DeFi protocol for lending, borrowing, liquidity management, and leverage trading. Covers klend-sdk (lending), kliquidity-sdk (automated liquidity strategies), scope-sdk (oracle aggregator), multiply/leverage operations, vaults, and obligation orders.

Why use Kamino on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/sendaifun/skills/tree/main/skills/kamino. 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 Kamino?

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 Kamino?

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

Is the Kamino AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by sendaifun 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.
