hello_world

A fundamental skill that demonstrates the basic execution of a Python script. It serves as a "Hello, World!" example for the skill system, verifying that the environment is correctly set up and that the agent can execute scripts.

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

Installation

Install the Hello World 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.
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/smallnest/langgraphgo.git /tmp/langgraphgo
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/langgraphgo/examples/goskills_example/goskills_example/skills/hello_world .claude/skills/hello_world

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Hello World 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 Hello World 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 Hello World 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.

Overview

The hello_world skill is the simplest possible skill in the ecosystem. Its primary purpose is to validate the operational status of the skill runner and the agent's ability to invoke tools.

Functionality

When invoked, this skill executes a Python script that prints a greeting message to the standard output. This confirms:

Script Execution: The agent can successfully locate and run a Python script.
Output Capture: The system can capture the standard output from the script and return it to the agent.
Tool Integration: The skill is correctly registered and accessible as a tool.

Usage

This skill is typically used in the following scenarios:

System Health Check: To verify that the agent and skill runner are functioning correctly.
Onboarding: As a first step for developers learning how to create and use skills.
Debugging: To isolate issues with script execution or tool invocation.

Example Command

To use this skill, the agent can execute the following command:

python
scripts/hello.py

Implementation Details

The skill consists of a single Python script hello.py which performs a simple print operation. No external dependencies or complex logic are involved, ensuring that any failure is likely due to the environment or configuration rather than the skill itself.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Hello World AI skill do?

Why use Hello World on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/smallnest/langgraphgo/tree/master/examples/goskills_example/goskills_example/skills/hello_world. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Hello World?

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 Hello World?

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

Is the Hello World AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by smallnest 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.
