  • 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 spences10 on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Ecosystem Guide 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/spences10/svelte-skills-kit.git /tmp/svelte-skills-kit
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/svelte-skills-kit/plugins/svelte-skills/skills/ecosystem-guide .claude/skills/ecosystem-guide
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Ecosystem Guide 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 Ecosystem Guide 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 Ecosystem Guide 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.

Decision Tree

"I want skills to activate reliably"

toolkit-skills - Forced-eval hook evaluates every prompt against available skills. Install alongside any skills plugin.

"I need to search the web"

mcp-omnisearch - Web search, GitHub code search, AI answers

"I need to query a database"

mcp-sqlite-tools - Read/write SQLite with safety guards

"I have too many MCPs eating context"

mcpick - Enable/disable servers per-project

"I need to install or update plugins"

mcpick - mcpick plugins install|update|list

"My plugin cache is stale after a version bump"

mcpick - mcpick cache clear or mcpick cache clean-orphaned

"I want to track my Claude Code usage"

ccrecall - Sync transcripts, query with mcp-sqlite-tools

"I'm building with Svelte/SvelteKit"

svelte-skills-kit - Runes, routing, data flow patterns

"I need to research a topic or verify sources"

research skill - Verified source research, repo cloning patterns

"I want to create a new Claude skill"

skill-creator skill - Progressive disclosure, writing guide, CLI reference

Typical Workflows

Recommended Setup (Skills)

bash
# Core: forced-eval hook + ecosystem skills
npx mcpick plugins install toolkit-skills@claude-code-toolkit

# Domain skills (optional, based on your stack)
npx mcpick plugins install svelte-skills@svelte-skills-kit

# Keep plugins up to date
npx mcpick plugins update toolkit-skills

toolkit-skills hook ensures skills from any plugin activate on relevant prompts.

Add an MCP Server

bash
npx mcpick add omnisearch -- npx -y mcp-omnisearch

Research Mode

bash
npx mcpick enable omnisearch
# Now Claude has web search, GitHub search, AI answers

Data Analysis Mode

bash
npx mcpick enable sqlite-tools
# Query databases, analyze CSVs, manage data

Minimal Context Mode

bash
npx mcpick disable omnisearch sqlite-tools
# Just Claude Code core tools

Fix Stale Plugin Cache

bash
npx mcpick cache status          # Check what's stale
npx mcpick cache clear           # Clear and refresh
npx mcpick cache clean-orphaned  # Remove old versions

Save/Load Profiles

bash
npx mcpick profile save research-mode
npx mcpick profile load research-mode

Analytics Review

bash
bun x ccrecall sync  # Update database
# Then query ~/.claude/ccrecall.db with mcp-sqlite-tools

Frequently asked questions

What does the Ecosystem Guide AI skill do?

Guide to spences10's Claude Code ecosystem tools. Use when user asks which tool to use, how tools relate, or needs help choosing between MCP servers, skills, or CLIs.

Why use Ecosystem Guide on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/spences10/svelte-skills-kit/tree/main/plugins/svelte-skills/skills/ecosystem-guide. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Ecosystem Guide?

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 Ecosystem Guide?

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

Is the Ecosystem Guide AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by spences10. Check the repository for licensing terms. 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.
