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 WILLOSCAR on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Exercise Builder 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/WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills/tree/main/.codex/skills/exercise-builder
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/WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills.git /tmp/research-units-pipeline-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/research-units-pipeline-skills/.codex/skills/exercise-builder .claude/skills/exercise-builder

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Exercise Builder 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 Exercise Builder 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 Exercise Builder 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.

Exercise Builder

Triggers & routing

Trigger: exercises, practice, verification checklist, 教程练习, 可验证作业.
Use when: tutorial 的 C2，已有 outline/module_plan.yml，需要为每个模块补齐 exercise / expected output / verification steps。
Skip if: 还没有 module plan。
Network: none.
Guardrail: 练习必须可验证，不能只给开放式思考题。

Adds the minimal deterministic exercise contract to each planned tutorial module.

Input

outline/module_plan.yml

Output

updated outline/module_plan.yml

Contract

Each module must end up with at least one exercise containing:

prompt
expected_output
verification_steps

Script boundary

scripts/run.py should:

load the current module plan
fill missing exercises deterministically
write the plan back in place

Keep exercise phrasing logic in shared tutorial tooling rather than hardcoding it repeatedly in the skill script.

Acceptance

every module has exercises
every exercise includes expected_output
every exercise includes verification_steps

Non-goals

source coverage auditing
prose tutorial writing

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 Exercise Builder AI skill do?

Use when a tutorial module plan exists but each module still needs a verifiable teaching loop.

Why use Exercise Builder on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Exercise Builder 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 Exercise Builder in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills/tree/main/.codex/skills/exercise-builder. 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 Exercise Builder?

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 Exercise Builder?

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

Is the Exercise Builder AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by WILLOSCAR. 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.
