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 sundial-org on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Answeroverflow 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/sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills/tree/main/skills/answeroverflow
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/sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills.git /tmp/awesome-openclaw-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/awesome-openclaw-skills/skills/answeroverflow .claude/skills/answeroverflow

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Answeroverflow 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 Answeroverflow 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 Answeroverflow 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.

Answer Overflow Skill

Search indexed Discord community discussions via Answer Overflow. Great for finding solutions to coding problems, library issues, and community Q&A.

What is Answer Overflow?

Answer Overflow indexes public Discord support channels and makes them searchable via Google and direct API access. Perfect for finding answers that only exist in Discord conversations.

Quick Search

Use web_search to find Answer Overflow results:

bash
# Search for a topic (Answer Overflow results often appear in Google)
web_search "site:answeroverflow.com prisma connection pooling"

Fetching Thread Content

Markdown URLs

Add /m/ prefix or .md suffix to get markdown-formatted content:


# Standard URL
https://www.answeroverflow.com/m/1234567890123456789

# With .md suffix (alternative)
https://www.answeroverflow.com/m/1234567890123456789.md

Using web_fetch

bash
# Fetch a thread in markdown format
web_fetch url="https://www.answeroverflow.com/m/<message-id>"

Accept Header

When making requests, the API checks for Accept: text/markdown header to return markdown format.

Tips

Results are real Discord conversations, so context may be informal
Threads often have back-and-forth discussion before the solution
Check the server/channel name to understand the context (e.g., official support vs community)
Many open source projects index their Discord support channels here

Frequently asked questions

What does the Answeroverflow AI skill do?

Search indexed Discord community discussions via Answer Overflow. Find solutions to coding problems, library issues, and community Q&A that only exist in Discord conversations.

Why use Answeroverflow on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills/tree/main/skills/answeroverflow. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Answeroverflow?

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 Answeroverflow?

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

Is the Answeroverflow AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by sundial-org. 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.
