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 vstorm-co on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Report Writing 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/vstorm-co/pydantic-deepagents/tree/main/apps/deepresearch/skills/report-writing
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

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/vstorm-co/pydantic-deepagents.git /tmp/pydantic-deepagents
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/pydantic-deepagents/apps/deepresearch/skills/report-writing .claude/skills/report-writing

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Report Writing 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 Report Writing 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 Report Writing 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.

Report Writing Guide

Report Structure

1. Title

Descriptive and specific
Include the scope or time frame if relevant
Example: "Advances in Protein Folding Since AlphaFold 3 (2024-2025)"

2. Executive Summary

2-3 paragraphs summarizing key findings
Written last, after the full report is complete
Should stand alone — a reader should understand the main conclusions

3. Body Sections

Organize logically (chronological, thematic, or comparative)
Each section should address one sub-topic
Use inline citations [1][2] for every factual claim
Include data, statistics, and direct quotes where appropriate

4. Conclusions

Synthesize findings across all sections
Highlight key takeaways and implications
Note limitations of the research
Suggest areas for further investigation

5. References

Number references in order of first appearance
Format: [N] Author/Organization, "Title", URL, Accessed: YYYY-MM-DD

Writing Style

Clarity

Use clear, direct language
Define technical terms on first use
Prefer active voice over passive
Keep paragraphs focused on one idea

Objectivity

Present evidence before conclusions
Acknowledge counter-arguments
Use hedging language for uncertain claims ("suggests", "indicates", "appears to")
Distinguish between facts and interpretation

Citation Practices

Cite every factual claim, statistic, and quote
Use inline citations [N] immediately after the claim
Multiple citations for well-supported claims: [1][3][7]
Never present information without attribution

Formatting Tips

Use headers (##, ###) to create clear hierarchy
Use bullet points for lists of findings
Use tables for comparative data
Use blockquotes for direct quotes from sources
Bold key terms and important findings

Frequently asked questions

What does the Report Writing AI skill do?

Guidelines for writing well-structured, cited research reports

Why use Report Writing on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Report Writing 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 Report Writing in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/vstorm-co/pydantic-deepagents/tree/main/apps/deepresearch/skills/report-writing. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Report Writing?

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 Report Writing?

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

Is the Report Writing AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by vstorm-co 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.
