  • 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 sepehr071 on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Okala 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/sepehr071/awesome-iran-mcp/tree/main/plugins/okala/skills/okala
  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/sepehr071/awesome-iran-mcp.git /tmp/awesome-iran-mcp
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/awesome-iran-mcp/plugins/okala/skills/okala .claude/skills/okala
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Okala 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 Okala 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 Okala 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.

Okala

Unofficial read-only Okala: grocery stores that deliver to you, compare prices across stores.

The tools below come from the okala-mcp MCP server. If they are not available, install it with claude mcp add okala -- uvx okala-mcp, or add "okala": {"command": "uvx", "args": ["okala-mcp"]} to the client's MCP servers config. It needs uv. Restart the session after installing.

Tools

  • ok_login: Log in to the user's Okala account, which unlocks Okala's real text search in ok_search
  • ok_login_verify: Finish a login started with ok_login: the code the user received by SMS. Saves the login on this
  • ok_account: Whether the server is logged in to Okala (and as which phone, masked). Logged in = ok_search uses
  • ok_logout: Delete the saved Okala login on this machine; the server continues as a guest.
  • ok_categories: Category tree (id, slug, Persian name, children) of everything sold near a point, or in one store.
  • ok_search: Find products by text near a point (or in one store with store_id), best matches first, then
  • ok_compare: Which open nearby store sells the same product cheapest: a category and/or brand from every store,
  • ok_store_products: A whole category of one store (the API returns all of it at once), sorted and optionally filtered by
  • ok_product: One product in one store: price and discount (Toman), stock, max per order, brand, category,
  • ok_brands: Brand ids for ok_compare (brand_id) and slugs. Okala publishes only a short list of featured brands;
  • ok_deals: Deal rows running now, with their end time (UTC) and top products (Toman, discount, store).
  • ok_offer: Every product of one deal row (from ok_deals), Toman. Without store_id: across all open stores that
  • ok_locate: Turn an address into coordinates (lat, lon) for every other tool, plus the street address of the best hit.
  • ok_stores: Okala stores that deliver to a point, in the site's order: id, type, rating, distance, earliest
  • ok_store: One store as seen from the delivery point: whether it delivers there now, minimum order (Toman),
  • ok_store_reviews: Read customers' reviews of a store: 1-5 stars, comment, date and the reasons they ticked

Rules

  • Prices are Toman. Convert before comparing with a Rial figure from anywhere else.
  • Read-only: no login, basket, booking, order or payment. Give the user the link to finish on the site.
  • Keep request rates low. These are undocumented site APIs that can change or rate-limit.
  • On timeouts or HTTP 403 outside Iran, set OKALA_MCP_PROXY to an HTTP proxy with an Iranian IP.
  • One exception to no login: real text search needs the optional SMS login (ok_login), which stays read-only. Ask the user before starting it.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Okala AI skill do?

Unofficial read-only Okala: grocery stores that deliver to you, compare prices across stores. Use when the user asks about Okala (okala.com) or wants food or groceries delivered in Iran.

Why use Okala on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/sepehr071/awesome-iran-mcp/tree/main/plugins/okala/skills/okala. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Okala?

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 Okala?

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

Is the Okala AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by sepehr071 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.
