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

Installation

Install the Yao Audio 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/YaoApp/yao.git /tmp/yao
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/yao/tools/skills/yao-audio .claude/skills/yao-audio

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Yao Audio 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 Yao Audio 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 Yao Audio 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.

Audio Tools

Use these tools to transcribe audio files to text using speech-to-text models.

audio_transcribe

Transcribe an audio file to text.

bash
tai tool audio_transcribe --audio_path /path/to/meeting.m4a

bash
tai tool audio_transcribe --audio_path /path/to/recording.wav --language en --provider llm.my-openai:whisper-1

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
audio_path	string	yes	Audio file path. Supported: mp3, m4a, wav, webm, mp4, mpeg, mpga
language	string	no	ISO 639-1 language code (e.g. `en`, `zh`, `ja`). Auto-detected if omitted
provider	string	no	STT provider connector ID. If omitted, uses the default STT provider

audio_providers

List available speech-to-text providers and models.

List STT providers (default):

bash
tai tool audio_providers

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
capability	string	no	Filter by capability (default: `audio`)

Returns a list of providers with their available models and connector IDs that can be passed to audio_transcribe.

Constraints

Only use the parameters listed above for each tool. Do not pass unsupported parameters — they will be ignored or cause errors.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Yao Audio AI skill do?

Audio expert. ALWAYS invoke this skill when the user asks to transcribe, recognize, or convert speech/audio to text.

Why use Yao Audio on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/YaoApp/yao/tree/main/tools/skills/yao-audio. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Yao Audio?

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 Yao Audio?

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

Is the Yao Audio AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by YaoApp. 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.
