  • 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 yongmmin on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Rtk Toggle 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/yongmmin/front-agent/tree/main/skills/rtk-toggle
  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/yongmmin/front-agent.git /tmp/front-agent
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/front-agent/skills/rtk-toggle .claude/skills/rtk-toggle
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Rtk Toggle 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 Rtk Toggle 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 Rtk Toggle 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.

Skill: rtk-toggle

Trigger: /rtk [mode] Purpose: Let the user choose whether this plugin's internal Bash calls (tsc, eslint, git, gh, test runners, grep/find/ls) pipe through rtk for token compression.


Modes

ModeBehavior
offRaw commands. Default.
standardrtk applied to git/gh/tsc/eslint/test/grep/find/ls.
aggressiveSame as standard plus -u (ultra-compact) flag.
git-onlyrtk applied only to git/gh commands; everything else raw.

Trigger Routes

  1. Explicit arg: /rtk standard, /rtk off, etc. — write the mode and report.
  2. No arg: launch the AskUserQuestion picker UI and let the user choose.
  3. Status query: /rtk status — print the currently resolved mode without changing it.

Resolution Order (read by hooks/rtk-wrap.sh)

  1. FE_COPILOT_RTK env var — hard override, never touched by this skill.
  2. .fe-copilot-cache/rtk-session.flag — written by this skill and by /front-agent.
  3. Default: off.

Implementation

When user provides a mode argument

bash
bash hooks/rtk-wrap.sh --set <mode>

Valid modes: off | standard | aggressive | git-only. Reject others with a one-line error.

When user runs /rtk status

bash
bash hooks/rtk-wrap.sh --mode

Report the returned value. If FE_COPILOT_RTK is set, mention that the env var is overriding the flag file.

When user runs /rtk with no arg

Use the AskUserQuestion tool with one question, 4 options (off / standard / aggressive / git-only). After the user answers, persist with bash hooks/rtk-wrap.sh --set <answer>.


Output

Single compact line:

rtk mode: standard (session flag written)

No prose, no emojis, no explanation of how rtk works internally.


Guarantees

  • This skill never installs or uninstalls rtk globally.
  • It only writes .fe-copilot-cache/rtk-session.flag scoped to this plugin directory.
  • If rtk is not installed, the mode still writes, but rtk-wrap.sh will silently fall back to raw commands at runtime.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Rtk Toggle AI skill do?

Toggle or inspect the rtk token-filter mode used by /front-agent for the current session. Plugin-scoped; no global hook.

Why use Rtk Toggle on TypingMind?

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

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

Which AI models can use Rtk Toggle?

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 Rtk Toggle?

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

Is the Rtk Toggle AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by yongmmin. 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.
