  • 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 vectorize-io on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Memory Setup 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/vectorize-io/hindsight/tree/main/hindsight-integrations/grok-bot/skills/memory-setup
  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/vectorize-io/hindsight.git /tmp/hindsight
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/hindsight/hindsight-integrations/grok-bot/skills/memory-setup .claude/skills/memory-setup
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Memory Setup 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 Memory Setup 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 Memory Setup 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.

Set up Hindsight memory

Hindsight stores memory in banks. This plugin uses three kinds:

  • This Bot's bank, grok-bot::<bot-name>: what this Bot learns in its own work. Build <bot-name> from the Bot's name, lowercase, with spaces turned into hyphens (a Bot named "Sales Researcher" uses grok-bot::sales-researcher). When you are not a Grok Bot (for example, an agent in Cursor), this bank is per project instead: cursor::<project-name>, from the open workspace folder's name in the same lowercase, hyphenated form. With no workspace open, ask the user what to call it. Never use another Bot's grok-bot:: bank as your own; those are read-only to you.
  • The shared bank, grok-bot::shared: what every Bot on this account should know.
  • The user's other banks: memory written by the user's other AI tools, such as Claude Code or ChatGPT. Read these when a task touches that work. Never write to them.

Steps

  1. Call list_banks. A successful call proves the connection is real. If it fails, tell the user to reconnect Hindsight in the plugin's settings and stop. Do not guess endpoints or hostnames.
  2. If you are a Grok Bot that still has the default name "Grok Bot", ask the user what to call it before going further. The name becomes the bank id, so a default name would give every unnamed Bot the same bank, and renaming later strands its memory under the old id.
  3. If this Bot's bank does not exist, call create_bank with its bank_id and a name of "Grok Bot: ".
  4. If grok-bot::shared does not exist, call create_bank with name "Grok Bot: shared".
  5. Call list_mental_models on grok-bot::shared. If there is no mental model named "About the user", call create_mental_model on that bank with that name and the source query "Who is this user: their work, current projects, the people they mention most, and their stated preferences".
  6. Tell the user which banks exist and which other banks you can read.

Rules

  • Never call delete_bank, clear_memories, invalidate_memory, delete_document or delete_mental_model. If something should be deleted, tell the user and let them do it.
  • Never store passwords, one-time codes, API keys, card or account numbers.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Memory Setup AI skill do?

Set up and check Hindsight long-term memory for this Bot. Use the first time a Bot uses Hindsight, when the user asks to connect or check memory, or whenever a Hindsight tool call fails.

Why use Memory Setup on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/vectorize-io/hindsight/tree/main/hindsight-integrations/grok-bot/skills/memory-setup. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Memory Setup?

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 Memory Setup?

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

Is the Memory Setup AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by vectorize-io 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.
