  • 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.

  • 1 bundled files

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

  • Open source

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

Installation

Install the Audio Descriptions 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.
  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/thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist.git /tmp/Front-End-Checklist
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/Front-End-Checklist/skills/audio-descriptions .claude/skills/audio-descriptions
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Audio Descriptions 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 Audio Descriptions 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 Audio Descriptions 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.

Provide audio descriptions for video

Blind users miss critical plot points, product demos, and on-screen information that's only shown visually—audio descriptions provide equal access to the complete experience.

Quick Reference

  • Add audio descriptions for visual-only content (actions, expressions, text)
  • Use track element with kind='descriptions' for separate description track
  • Provide extended description version if gaps between dialogue are too short
  • Integrate visual descriptions into main narration when possible

Check

Identify videos where visual content conveys information not available in the audio track (actions, expressions, scene changes, on-screen text). Verify audio descriptions are available or visual content is described in dialogue.

Fix

Add a separate audio description track using the track element with kind='descriptions'. Alternatively, provide an extended version with pauses for descriptions, or include visual descriptions in the main narration.

Explain

Explain how blind and low-vision users miss visual-only information in videos, and why audio descriptions provide equal access to the complete content experience.

Code Review

Review the rendered markup and interactive states that affect Provide audio descriptions for video. Flag exact elements, roles, labels, focus behavior, or keyboard interactions that violate the rule, and note how to verify the fix with browser accessibility tooling or assistive tech.

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 Audio Descriptions AI skill do?

Use when reviewing rendered HTML, interactive components, or design-system patterns related to Provide audio descriptions for video. Check native semantics first, then inspect keyboard behavior, focus flow, accessible names, and screen-reader output where relevant.

Why use Audio Descriptions on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist/tree/main/skills/audio-descriptions. 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 Audio Descriptions?

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 Audio Descriptions?

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

Is the Audio Descriptions AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by thedaviddias. 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.
