cultivating-skills

Distills repeated workflows into reusable skills, improves existing skills, and gates them through a three-tier publish funnel (local → project → community). Use when the agent or user notices a pattern worth crystallizing, when an existing skill is incomplete, or when something deserves community contribution. Default deny on dangerous tools and side effects.

  • 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.

  • 6 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by telagod on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Cultivating Skills 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/telagod/code-abyss/tree/main/skills/cultivating-skills
  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/telagod/code-abyss.git /tmp/code-abyss
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/code-abyss/skills/cultivating-skills .claude/skills/cultivating-skills
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Cultivating Skills 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 Cultivating Skills 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 Cultivating Skills 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.

炼制神通 · cultivating-skills

框架之外仍有道。重复三次即沉淀，沉淀必经安全脊柱，发布必走漏斗。

三种触发模式

模式触发入口
distillAgent 在会话中识别"魔尊已重复 N 次同类操作"主动提议→显式确认
create用户显式 /cultivate-skill <topic>脚手架交互
improve用户指现有 skill 不足diff + 增量补丁

三级沉淀漏斗

L0 本地私有  ~/.claude/skills/local/         → 不入路由、显式调用、不审
L1 项目私有  <repo>/.claude/skills/          → 入 git、团队共享、强 lint
L2 社区贡献  GitHub Issue/PR + safety_scan   → 进入 upstream 候选池

默认 L0——魔尊主动升级，避免污染。每升一级，门槛递增。

何时使用

场景使用理由
同类操作 ≥ 3 次（手动构造的 prompt、命令链、修复模板）✅ distill边际收益最高
现有 skill 缺失关键场景 / 表述模糊✅ improve直接打补丁
用户提出新工程化方法论✅ create显式生成骨架

何时不使用

  • ❌ 单次性脚本 / 一次性查询——沉淀价值低，徒增噪音
  • ❌ 复制粘贴现有 skill 内容——用 aliases 或 reference 链接即可
  • ❌ 项目特定状态（API 端点、内部约定）——写进项目 CLAUDE.md
  • ❌ 重复内容含 secret / 私密细节——永不沉淀

安全脊柱（默认拒绝）

新 skill 落盘前必须通过 safety_scan，命中任一项即阻断：

  1. frontmatter 合规：name kebab-case 唯一、description ≥ 40 字、user-invocable 显式声明
  2. 工具最小权限：allowed-tools 默认仅 Read；扩权（Bash/Write/Edit/WebFetch）必须有理由说明
  3. 无硬编码 secret（复用 analyzing-security 规则集）
  4. 无危险默认模板、无 prompt injection 反模式、scripts 单入口、引用文件存在

详细规则矩阵见 references/safety-review.md。

升级到项目内 / 提交到社区publishing-guide.md

使用

bash
# 脚手架：默认 L0 本地，可改 --tier project / community
node scripts/skill_forge.js init <slug> [--tier local|project|community]

# 本地校验（frontmatter + 引用 + 工具白名单）
node scripts/skill_forge.js lint <skill-dir>

# 安全扫描（落盘前必跑）
node scripts/skill_forge.js scan <skill-dir>

# 改进模式（生成 diff 草案）
node scripts/skill_forge.js improve <existing-skill-dir>

# 升级 tier
node scripts/skill_forge.js promote <skill-dir> --to project

收口

落盘前必须：scan 通过 + lint 通过 + 魔尊 review diff。 社区提交：复用 submission portal，本 skill 只负责生成 payload，不重造提交流程。

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 Cultivating Skills AI skill do?

Distills repeated workflows into reusable skills, improves existing skills, and gates them through a three-tier publish funnel (local → project → community). Use when the agent or user notices a pattern worth crystallizing, when an existing skill is incomplete, or when something deserves community contribution. Default deny on dangerous tools and side effects.

Why use Cultivating Skills on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/telagod/code-abyss/tree/main/skills/cultivating-skills. 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 Cultivating Skills?

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 Cultivating Skills?

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

Is the Cultivating Skills AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by telagod 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.
