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

Installation

Install the Stripe Pay 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/stripe/ai/tree/main/providers/agent-plugins/plugin/skills/stripe-pay
  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/stripe/ai.git /tmp/ai
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/ai/providers/agent-plugins/plugin/skills/stripe-pay .claude/skills/stripe-pay
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Stripe Pay 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 Stripe Pay 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 Stripe Pay 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.

stripe pay

Use stripe pay to send money from the authenticated Stripe business to another Stripe business identified by a Stripe Profile handle, for example @recipient.

The stripe pay command is for business-to-business money transfers. Both the sender and the receiving business must have a Stripe Profile. In addition:

If the user needs details about financial accounts, read Money Management. The command resolves the recipient’s payout configuration, which can route the payout to an attached financial account or linked bank account, and reports the fee and delivery timing before confirmation. Don’t assume that a transfer is free or instant.

Safety Rules

  1. Don’t send money unless the user explicitly asks you to make the transfer.
  2. Before running a command that can send money, show the exact stripe pay ... command you plan to run and get confirmation.
  3. Use --agent or --json first so the user can review the transfer details.
  4. Don’t pass -y or --yes until after the user confirms the reviewed transfer.
  5. Don’t guess at the user’s intent. Don’t guess at the username, financial account ID, amount, currency, internal note, memo, or any other detail. Always confirm with the user.
  6. Don’t print full API keys back to the user.

Choose the workflow

Read the documentation to accomplish your goal. You must read the relevant page before taking action:

Handle setup errors

Don’t continue the transfer when stripe pay reports missing setup. Explain what’s missing and give the user the corresponding next step. Before explaining how to resolve the error, read the documentation for the missing requirement in the workflow table:

  • If the sender is missing a Stripe Profile, tell the user to create one.
  • If the sender is missing an eligible financial account, tell the user to set up Global Payouts with an eligible financial account.
  • If the sender is missing both requirements, tell the user to complete both setup steps before trying the transfer again.
  • If the recipient doesn’t have an eligible transfer destination linked to their Stripe Profile, tell the user that the recipient must complete that setup before the transfer can proceed. Don’t retry the transfer until the recipient’s setup is corrected.
  • If the recipient is missing or invalid, read and follow the Stripe Directory agent workflow. If the user can provide the recipient’s exact Stripe Profile handle or network ID, ask them for it.

For sender setup, direct the user to the relevant Dashboard page:

Frequently asked questions

What does the Stripe Pay AI skill do?

Helps users send funds to another Stripe business, transfer money to a Stripe Profile handle or network ID, or ask whether an agent can pay a Stripe business. Use Stripe Directory to find or verify a recipient when the user doesn't provide an exact Stripe Profile handle or network ID.

Why use Stripe Pay on TypingMind?

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

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

Which AI models can use Stripe Pay?

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 Stripe Pay?

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

Is the Stripe Pay AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by stripe 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.
