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

Installation

Install the Book Planning 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/tobyilee/book-writer/tree/main/.claude/skills/book-planning
  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/tobyilee/book-writer.git /tmp/book-writer
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/book-writer/.claude/skills/book-planning .claude/skills/book-planning
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Book Planning 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 Book Planning 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 Book Planning 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.

Book Planning

좋은 계획은 "독자가 어떤 여정을 거쳐 무엇을 얻는가"를 먼저 정하고, 거기서 역산해 챕터를 배치한다. 오케스트레이터가 확정한 genre(기본 tech-book)의 profiles/{genre}/scaffolds.md를 읽고 그 장르의 단위로 짠다.

독자 여정

진입 상태(이 독자는 왜 이 책을 집었나, 무엇을 알고 무엇이 고민인가)에서 출구 상태(다 읽고 나면 무엇을 할 수 있고 무엇이 바뀌었나)를 정한다. 출구는 장르마다 다르다 — tech-book과 practical은 "할 수 있다", narrative는 "느낀다", essay는 "바뀐다". 그 사이에 각성(놓친 것을 깨닫는 지점), 배움, 적용, 종합이 어디서 일어나는지 배치한다.

챕터 배치

  • 5~10장을 기본으로 하고 주제 폭에 맞춰 조정한다.
  • 첫 장은 왜 이 주제·이 책인지, 중반은 무엇과 어떻게를 교차하고, 종반은 부분 지식을 묶고, 마지막 장은 덮은 뒤의 다음 걸음을 남긴다 (narrative는 서사 아크가 우선).
  • 레퍼런스의 주요 자료가 어딘가에 배치되고, 인접 챕터가 겹치지 않고, 난이도가 갑자기 뛰지 않고, 챕터 예상 분량의 합이 목표 분량에 맞아야 한다.

통권 변주 배정

각 챕터에 셋을 배정한다 (scaffolds의 메뉴에서):

  • 오프닝 기법 — 인접 챕터와 다르게. tech-book에서 '상황 가정'은 전체의 1/3 이하.
  • 클로징 기법 — 전 챕터가 서로 다르게. 마지막 장은 여정을 회수하는 닫는 매듭.
  • 스캐폴드 유형 — tech-book: 개념 도입형·문제-해결형·사례 분석형·비교 대조형·종합 정리형. 다른 장르는 해당 프로필의 유형.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Book Planning AI skill do?

Design the overall book structure — title candidates, characteristics, chapter list with main content per chapter, and narrative arc. Use when turning research into a writing plan, drafting a book outline, planning chapter sequence, or revising a book plan based on review feedback. Triggers on "저술 계획", "책 아웃라인", "챕터 구성", "book outline".

Why use Book Planning on TypingMind?

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

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

Which AI models can use Book Planning?

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 Book Planning?

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

Is the Book Planning AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by tobyilee 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.
