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

Installation

Install the Xurl 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.

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/steipete/agent-scripts.git /tmp/agent-scripts
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/agent-scripts/skills/xurl .claude/skills/xurl

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Xurl 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 Xurl 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 Xurl 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.

xurl

Official CLI for the X API.

Primary upstream: https://github.com/xdevplatform/xurl

Install

Homebrew:

bash
brew install --cask xdevplatform/tap/xurl

npm:

bash
npm install -g @xdevplatform/xurl

Shell script:

bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xdevplatform/xurl/main/install.sh | bash

Go:

bash
go install github.com/xdevplatform/xurl@latest

Safety

Never read, print, summarize, upload, or paste ~/.xurl into LLM context.
Never ask the user to paste client secrets, bearer tokens, or OAuth tokens into chat.
Never use --verbose in agent runs; it can expose auth headers.
Do not run auth commands with inline secret flags in an agent session.
The user must register app credentials manually on their machine outside the agent session.

Auth

Check current state:

bash
xurl auth status

If an app is already registered, complete OAuth 2.0:

bash
xurl auth oauth2

Multi-app:

bash
xurl auth apps list
xurl auth default my-app
xurl auth default my-app alice
xurl --app dev-app /2/users/me

Notes:

xurl stores app config and tokens in ~/.xurl.
OAuth 2.0 redirect URI in the X developer portal should be http://localhost:8080/callback.
App registration examples with inline secrets are intentionally omitted here. Do that outside the agent session.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Xurl AI skill do?

xurl X API CLI: install, auth, app choice, shortcuts, raw endpoints.

Why use Xurl on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/steipete/agent-scripts/tree/main/skills/xurl. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Xurl?

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 Xurl?

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

Is the Xurl AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by steipete 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.
