youmind

Use this skill when the task is clearly connected to the user's YouMind workspace, YouMind APIs, or the youmind CLI. It helps agents search, inspect, and call YouMind OpenAPI endpoints to work with boards, groups, YouMind files, picks, chats, and YouMind skills.

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 YouMind-OpenLab on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Youmind 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/YouMind-OpenLab/skills/tree/main/skills/youmind
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/YouMind-OpenLab/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/skills/youmind .claude/skills/youmind

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Youmind 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 Youmind 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 Youmind 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.

YouMind

YouMind is an AI creative workspace. People save webpages, PDFs, videos, podcasts, notes, and generated assets into boards, then use AI to search, organize, write, and publish from that workspace.

Use this skill when the task is clearly connected to the user's YouMind workspace, YouMind APIs, or the youmind CLI.

Use When

Use this skill when the user wants to:

work with a YouMind board, group, file, pick, chat, or skill
search or use their YouMind library as context
save a URL, document, generated asset, or result into YouMind
create, update, move, publish, restore, or trash content in YouMind
run or manage a YouMind skill
call YouMind OpenAPI through the youmind CLI

Vocabulary

YouMind board: a workspace container.
YouMind group: a folder inside a board.
YouMind file: a content item inside a board, such as a document, webpage, PDF, image, audio, video, or generated artifact.
Pick: a saved excerpt or highlight.
Chat: an AI task or conversation in YouMind.
Skill: a reusable YouMind capability that can be run through chat.

Setup

Check whether the CLI is installed:

bash
command -v youmind

If missing, install it:

bash
npm install -g @youmind-ai/cli

Check whether authentication is configured:

bash
test -n "$YOUMIND_API_KEY"

If missing, ask the human to create an API key at:

https://youmind.com/settings/api-keys

Then ask them to set it as an environment variable:

bash
export YOUMIND_API_KEY=sk-ym-...

Do not ask the human to paste the API key into a youmind command. The CLI should read it from YOUMIND_API_KEY.

Workflow

Use discover -> inspect -> call:

bash
youmind search <keyword>
youmind info <apiName>
youmind call <apiName> '<json>'

Rules:

Use youmind search before guessing API names.
Use youmind info before calling an API you have not recently inspected.
Pass JSON for non-trivial arguments.
Use returned ids for follow-up calls.
Share internal ids only when they are useful for the user's next step.

Common Operations

Useful API names include:

Boards: listBoards, getDefaultBoard, getBoard, createBoard, updateBoard, trashBoard
YouMind files: listFiles, getFile, createFileByUrl, createDocument, updateDocument, moveFiles, trashFile, restoreFromTrash, publishFile
Groups: createGroup, updateGroup, ungroupGroup
Picks: createPick, updatePick, trashPick
Search: search, webSearch
Chats and skills: createChat, listMessages, createSkill, installSkill

Side Effects

For actions that change the workspace or publish externally, make sure the user's intent is clear before calling the API.

This includes trashing, moving, publishing, restoring, installing skills, or any paid action.

Only say something was saved, published, installed, moved, or deleted after the CLI call succeeds. If a call fails, report the error clearly.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Youmind AI skill do?

Why use Youmind on TypingMind?

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

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

Which AI models can use Youmind?

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 Youmind?

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

Is the Youmind AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by YouMind-OpenLab. 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.
