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

Installation

Install the Wpds 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.
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/WordPress/agent-skills.git /tmp/agent-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/agent-skills/skills/wpds .claude/skills/wpds

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Wpds 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 Wpds 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 Wpds 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.

WordPress Design System (WPDS)

Prerequisites

This skill works best with the WPDS MCP server installed. The MCP provides access to WordPress Design System documentation and resources, such as components and DS token lists.

The following terms should be treated as synonyms:

"WordPress" and "WP";
"Design System" and "DS";
"WordPress Design System" and "WPDS".

When to use

Use this skill when the user mentions:

building and/or reviewing any UI in a WordPress-related context (for example, Gutenberg, WooCommerce, WordPress.com, Jetpack, etc etc);
WordPress Design System, WPDS, Design System;
UI components, Design tokens, color primitives, spacing scales, typography variables and presets;
Specific component packages such as @wordpress/components or @wordpress/ui;

Rules

Use the WPDS MCP server to access WPDS-related documentation

Use the WPDS MCP server to retrieve the canonical, authoritative documentation:
- reference site (wpds://pages)
- list of available components (wpds://components) and specific component information (wpds://components/:name)
- list of available tokens (wpds://design-tokens)
DO NOT search the web for canonical documentation about the WordPress Design System. If asked by the user, push back and ask for confirmation, warning them that the MCP server is the best place to provide information

Required documentation

Before working on any WPDS-related tasks, make sure you read relevant documentation on the reference site. This documentation should take the absolute precedence when evaluating the best course of action for any given tasks.

Boundaries

Skip non-UI related aspects of an answer (for example, fetching data from stores, or localizing strings of text).
Focus on building UI that adheres as much as possible to the WPDS best practices, uses the most fitting WPDS components/tokens/patterns.

Tech stack

Unless you are told otherwise (or gathered specific information from the local context of the request), assume the following tech stack: TypeScript, React, CSS.

Validation

If the local context in which a task is running provide lint scripts, use them to validate the proposed code output when possible.

Output

As a recap at the end of your response, provide a clear and concise explanation of what the solution does, and add context to why each decision was made.
Be explicit about the boundaries, ie. what was explicitly left out of the task because not relevant (eg non-ui related).
Provide working code snippets

Frequently asked questions

What does the Wpds AI skill do?

Use when building UIs leveraging the WordPress Design System (WPDS) and its components, tokens, patterns, etc.

Why use Wpds on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/WordPress/agent-skills/tree/trunk/skills/wpds. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Wpds?

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 Wpds?

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

Is the Wpds AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by WordPress. 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.
