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.
3 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by stevesolun on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Wayfinder 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.
https://github.com/stevesolun/ctx/tree/main/.agents/skills/wayfinder
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/stevesolun/ctx.git /tmp/ctx
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/ctx/.agents/skills/wayfinder .claude/skills/wayfinder

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Wayfinder 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 Wayfinder 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 Wayfinder 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.

Wayfind a large effort

Use this skill when the destination matters but the route cannot yet fit in one working session. If the work is already well scoped, recommend a lighter plan or implementation workflow.

Name the destination and its scope with the user.
Inspect the configured tracker and existing decisions. Choose a map representation that collaborators and agents can query reliably.
Create a low-resolution map: settled decisions, sharply stated open questions, dependencies, unresolved fog, and explicit out-of-scope work. Avoid inventing detailed tickets for questions that are not yet clear.
Advance independent questions concurrently when ownership and writes do not conflict. Keep human judgment in the loop for product or preference decisions; use research or prototypes when evidence is missing.
After resolving a question, record the decision once, update affected dependencies and fog, and expose the next useful frontier.
Hand off when the route is clear enough for specification or execution. Wayfinding may produce work only when doing so is necessary to resolve a decision.

Read references/map-model.md when creating or repairing a map. Read references/workflows.md for charting, advancing, concurrency, and handoff choices.

Bundled files

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 Wayfinder AI skill do?

Map a large, unclear, multi-session effort as linked decisions, then advance the map until the route to the destination is clear.

Why use Wayfinder on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/stevesolun/ctx/tree/main/.agents/skills/wayfinder. 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 Wayfinder?

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 Wayfinder?

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

Is the Wayfinder AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by stevesolun 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.
