Create standalone beginner tutorial packages from a topic or supplied references, with adaptive research, course-style outline design, chapter visuals, and Markdown/DOCX/PDF/HTML exports. Use for textbook-like tutorials, course guides, teaching documents, or long beginner guides; not for quick answers, link summaries, pure diagrams, or file conversion.

  • 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.

  • 102 bundled files

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

  • Open source

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

Installation

Install the Yao Tutorial Skill 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.
  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.
2

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/yaojingang/yao-open-skills.git /tmp/yao-open-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/yao-open-skills/skills/yao-tutorial-skill .claude/skills/yao-tutorial-skill
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Yao Tutorial Skill 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 Tutorial Skill 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 Tutorial Skill 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.

Workflow

  1. Normalize topic, audience, outcome, language, formats, user material, style references, and exclusions into brief.json.
  2. Read references/input-adaptation.md; use user material as the spine when sufficient, then add only needed external research.
  3. Read references/research-sourcing.md; create research/user-materials-register.md when needed, research/source-register.md, and research/evidence-map.md.
  4. Read references/tutorial-outline-and-writing.md plus references/course-design-principles.md; write outline.md, standalone public tutorial.md using 第1章 and 1.1, and research/chapter-quality-review.md.
  5. Read the editorial and visual references; create visuals/visual-spec.json, then run build_visual_pack.py and capture_visuals.py.
  6. Read references/export-workflow.md; run export_tutorial.py and then validate_package.py.
  7. Report exact failures and fallbacks. Never fabricate X posts, papers, repo details, dates, or citations.

Quality Gates

  • User material controls intent when strong enough; external evidence fills verification and gaps.
  • Public exports never show internal source IDs or reference-packet provenance.
  • Copy reads as a standalone formal teaching product.
  • Every numbered chapter has a matching visual spec and embedded visual.
  • Depth is governed by learning sufficiency, not a fixed word limit; continue until the learner can understand, apply, and self-check the topic.
  • Every numbered chapter has an independent quality review for depth, examples, practice, evidence, visual fit, and back-half consistency.
  • HTML uses centered report-shell; DOCX/PDF have no visible headers, footers, local paths, or print chrome.
  • Delivery passes scripts/validate_package.py or names the remaining warnings/failures.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Yao Tutorial Skill AI skill do?

Create standalone beginner tutorial packages from a topic or supplied references, with adaptive research, course-style outline design, chapter visuals, and Markdown/DOCX/PDF/HTML exports. Use for textbook-like tutorials, course guides, teaching documents, or long beginner guides; not for quick answers, link summaries, pure diagrams, or file conversion.

Why use Yao Tutorial Skill on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/yaojingang/yao-open-skills/tree/main/skills/yao-tutorial-skill. 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 Yao Tutorial Skill?

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 Tutorial Skill?

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

Is the Yao Tutorial Skill AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by yaojingang 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.
