  • 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.

  • 2 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by wataru-maeda on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Init Project 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/wataru-maeda/react-native-boilerplate/tree/dev/.agents/skills/init-project
  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/wataru-maeda/react-native-boilerplate.git /tmp/react-native-boilerplate
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/react-native-boilerplate/.agents/skills/init-project .claude/skills/init-project
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Init Project 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 Init Project 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 Init Project 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.

Init Project

Turn this boilerplate into a new app's repository. Follow the actions in order. Each one needs the previous one done.

Actions

StepActionRead
1Propose the setup planPlan
2Rename the app and remove samplesrename.md
3Link EAS, set env files, run checksservices.md

Resume from the first unfinished step. State the current step when stopping.

Plan

Change nothing in this step. Show one plan with these items:

ItemContains
NamesApp name, package.json name, slug, URL scheme
IDsiOS bundle IDs and Android packages for dev, stg, and prod
Expo accountowner in app.json, and whether to create new EAS projects or reuse ones
SamplesFiles to remove or keep: __DELELE_ME__/, README banner, welcome sheet
OpenAnything the user has not decided

Propose IDs in reverse-domain form, such as com.<company>.<app>, com.<company>.<app>.stg, and com.<company>.<app>.dev. End the turn after the plan. Resolve Open items one at a time.

Rules

  • Stop after the plan until the user approves it. Apply only approved items.
  • Never enter passwords, API keys, or tokens. Ask the user to log in or set secrets.
  • Write variable names to .env.*.example. Never write secret values to git.
  • Ask one question at a time.
  • Do not commit or push unless requested.

Report

  • The result in the first sentence.
  • Each created EAS project with its URL.
  • Checks run and their results. Mark skipped checks.
  • One next action at the end.

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 Init Project AI skill do?

Turn this boilerplate into a new app by renaming it, removing sample files, and linking it to EAS. Use when starting a new app from this template, or when asked to init, bootstrap, or rename the project.

Why use Init Project on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Init Project 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 Init Project in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/wataru-maeda/react-native-boilerplate/tree/dev/.agents/skills/init-project. 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 Init Project?

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 Init Project?

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

Is the Init Project AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by wataru-maeda 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.
