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

Installation

Install the Migrate To Shoehorn 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/vinvcn/mattpocock-skills-zh-CN.git /tmp/mattpocock-skills-zh-CN
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/mattpocock-skills-zh-CN/skills/misc/migrate-to-shoehorn .claude/skills/migrate-to-shoehorn
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Migrate To Shoehorn 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 Migrate To Shoehorn 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 Migrate To Shoehorn 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.

Migrate to Shoehorn

Why shoehorn?

shoehorn 允许你在 tests 中传入 partial data,同时保持 TypeScript 满意。它用 type-safe alternatives 替换 as assertions。

只用于 test code。 永远不要在 production code 中使用 shoehorn。

Tests 中 as 的问题:

  • 经过训练,不去使用它
  • 必须手动指定 target type
  • 对故意错误的数据需要 double-as(as unknown as Type

Install

bash
npm i @total-typescript/shoehorn

Migration patterns

Large objects with few needed properties

Before:

ts
type Request = {
  body: { id: string };
  headers: Record<string, string>;
  cookies: Record<string, string>;
  // ...20 more properties
};

it("gets user by id", () => {
  // Only care about body.id but must fake entire Request
  getUser({
    body: { id: "123" },
    headers: {},
    cookies: {},
    // ...fake all 20 properties
  });
});

After:

ts
import { fromPartial } from "@total-typescript/shoehorn";

it("gets user by id", () => {
  getUser(
    fromPartial({
      body: { id: "123" },
    }),
  );
});

as TypefromPartial()

Before:

ts
getUser({ body: { id: "123" } } as Request);

After:

ts
import { fromPartial } from "@total-typescript/shoehorn";

getUser(fromPartial({ body: { id: "123" } }));

as unknown as TypefromAny()

Before:

ts
getUser({ body: { id: 123 } } as unknown as Request); // wrong type on purpose

After:

ts
import { fromAny } from "@total-typescript/shoehorn";

getUser(fromAny({ body: { id: 123 } }));

When to use each

FunctionUse case
fromPartial()传入仍能 type-check 的 partial data
fromAny()传入故意错误的数据(保留 autocomplete)
fromExact()强制 full object(之后可换成 fromPartial)

Workflow

  1. Gather requirements — 询问用户:

    • 哪些 test files 中的 as assertions 造成问题?
    • 是否在处理大型 objects,但只关心部分 properties?
    • 是否需要传入故意错误的数据来测试 error paths?
  2. Install and migrate

    • Install: npm i @total-typescript/shoehorn
    • 查找 test files 中的 as assertions: grep -r " as [A-Z]" --include="*.test.ts" --include="*.spec.ts"
    • fromPartial() 替换 as Type
    • fromAny() 替换 as unknown as Type
    • 添加来自 @total-typescript/shoehorn 的 imports
    • 运行 type check 验证

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 Migrate To Shoehorn AI skill do?

将测试文件从 `as` 类型断言迁移到 @total-typescript/shoehorn。适用于用户提到 shoehorn、想替换测试中的 `as`,或需要局部测试数据时。

Why use Migrate To Shoehorn on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Migrate To Shoehorn 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 Migrate To Shoehorn in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/vinvcn/mattpocock-skills-zh-CN/tree/main/skills/misc/migrate-to-shoehorn. 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 Migrate To Shoehorn?

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 Migrate To Shoehorn?

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

Is the Migrate To Shoehorn AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by vinvcn 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.
