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 timscheuerai on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Newsletter Writer 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/timscheuerai/linkedin-funnel/tree/main/skills/newsletter-writer
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/timscheuerai/linkedin-funnel.git /tmp/linkedin-funnel
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/linkedin-funnel/skills/newsletter-writer .claude/skills/newsletter-writer

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Newsletter Writer 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 Newsletter Writer 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 Newsletter Writer 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.

Write one issue

Read context/voice/, audience, strategy and the full supplied sources. Establish the newsletter's promise and the issue's one useful idea. Existing editions define recurring format; do not invent a permanent house style from one draft.

Outline an opening observation, the explanation or worked example, practical application and a relevant next step. Use sections only when they help reading. Attribute guest experience and distinguish opinion from evidence. Every metric needs its population, period and source.

Draft a subject and preview line whose promise the issue delivers. Do not use unsupported urgency or turn the preview into a repeated subject. Write links with descriptive labels; verify targets when supplied or retrieved.

Edit for new information per paragraph. Preserve the author's distinctive phrasing; remove inflated transitions and generic lessons. Label any missing quote or fact outside the copy.

Deliver subject, preview line, paste-ready body and a short source/check list outside it. When requested, use repurpose-content to extract distinct posts. A completed issue is a draft until the requested publishing action actually succeeds.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Newsletter Writer AI skill do?

Write a useful newsletter issue from source material, the author's voice and one coherent reader takeaway.

Why use Newsletter Writer on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/timscheuerai/linkedin-funnel/tree/main/skills/newsletter-writer. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Newsletter Writer?

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 Newsletter Writer?

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

Is the Newsletter Writer AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by timscheuerai 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.
