  • 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.

  • 3 bundled files

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

  • Open source

    Published by wendylabsinc on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Wendy Device Enrollment 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/wendylabsinc/claude-skills/tree/main/wendy-device-enrollment
  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/wendylabsinc/claude-skills.git /tmp/claude-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-skills/wendy-device-enrollment .claude/skills/wendy-device-enrollment
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Wendy Device Enrollment 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 Wendy Device Enrollment 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 Wendy Device Enrollment 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.

Wendy Device Enrollment

Wendy does not manufacture hardware. There is no factory birth-key — the root of trust at first touch is an authenticated operator flashing the Wendy-built OS image onto off-the-shelf hardware and enrolling it. The device generates its own keypair (hardware-backed where the SoC allows), and the private key never leaves the device (D15).

The Three Rules Every Enrollment Change Must Keep

  1. The platform Root is baked into the OS image — never trust-on-first-use. The enrollment-delivered chain must validate up to the Root the operator already flashed, not to whatever chain the first enrollment happens to hand the device (§5.4).
  2. No roll-forward from an expired cert. Renewal always requires a currently-valid cert to present. Once a cert has expired, the only way back is a standing proof — an unattended re-attestation, or an operator-approved grant (D14). A bare expired cert is never enough on its own.
  3. Trusted time is seeded at enrollment and must fail safe. Every freshness/TTL check downstream depends on it; if trusted time can't be established, the device holds state and alerts — it never guesses (§4.4).

Choosing the Flow

  • Online (has internet). The operator requests an enrollment token at OS-install; cloud relays the signed request to pki-core, which mints a device- and tenant-bound, single-use token for the device to redeem. Fast, unattended once the operator has acted.
  • Offline / airgapped (no internet). The device is connected to the operator's PC at first boot, emits a CSR (key never leaves it), and the operator carries a signed request to cloud for a grant. Slower, requires physical operator presence at both ends.

See references/first-touch.md for the full mechanics of both, plus post-expiry recovery.

Renewal

Renewal is unattended and automatic over ACME/EST — a human factor cannot gate a turbine. Every renewal gets an in-flight disabled-check: pki-core refuses to re-issue a disabled/deregistered/revoked device.

A "not always online" device that needs a longer validity window gets it through over-duration approval (four-eyes): authorized once, inherited on every renewal, no live cloud call. It escalates nothing — no added entitlement or authority — and stays bounded by tenant policy and the platform cap. The earlier D16 cloud-set, live-checked device field mode was dropped, not deferred.

Self-Hosted Rule (mandatory)

The wendy stack (wendyos / wendy-agent) must ALWAYS be able to run without the SaaS stack. Before shipping any interop change, consult the wendy-self-hosted skill: keep the self-hosted path intact, or create it where it doesn't exist yet. A SaaS-only feature is an incomplete feature.

Source of Truth

This skill distills the AAA Contract v0.21 (Approved 2026-08-29). The living contract lives in Linear: AAA Contract — Authentication, Authorization, Accounting. It is versioned and evolving: check it for flow-level detail, and if it disagrees with this skill, the contract wins — then update this skill.

Related Skills

  • wendy-aaa-interop — the hub skill for the wider AAA contract (authentication, authorization, accounting, the two-key model).
  • wendy-certificates — cert issuance, renewal, and revocation mechanics shared across operators and devices.
  • wendy-device-interop — the agent-side runtime behavior once a device is enrolled: postbox polling, verifying operator-signed changes, image pull.
  • wendy-self-hosted — keeping every enrollment path viable without the SaaS stack.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Why use Wendy Device Enrollment on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Wendy Device Enrollment 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 Wendy Device Enrollment in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/wendylabsinc/claude-skills/tree/main/wendy-device-enrollment. 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 Wendy Device Enrollment?

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 Wendy Device Enrollment?

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

Is the Wendy Device Enrollment AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by wendylabsinc. Check the repository for licensing terms. 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.
