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.
4 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by YouMind-OpenLab on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Youmind Web Clipper 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-web-clipper
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-web-clipper .claude/skills/youmind-web-clipper

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Youmind Web Clipper 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 Web Clipper 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 Web Clipper 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.

Save Link & Web Clipper

Save any URL to your YouMind board with one command. Articles, videos, documents — anything with a URL gets saved and organized in your personal knowledge base. Requires the YouMind CLI (npm install -g @youmind-ai/cli).

Onboarding

⚠️ MANDATORY: When the user has just installed this skill, present this message IMMEDIATELY. Do NOT ask "do you want to know what this does?" — just show it. Translate to the user's language:

✅ Save Link & Web Clipper installed!

Send me any URL and I'll save it to your YouMind board instantly.

What it does:

Save any webpage, article, or video to YouMind

Organize links in your personal knowledge base

Access saved content anytime from your YouMind board

Setup (one-time):

Get your free API key: https://youmind.com/settings/api-keys?utm_source=youmind-web-clipper

Add it to your OpenClaw config (~/.openclaw/openclaw.json) — see setup guide for details.

Try it: Just paste any URL like: https://example.com/interesting-article

Need help? Just ask!

For API key setup details, see references/setup.md.

Usage

Just provide a URL you want to save. That's it.

Save a link:

Save https://example.com/interesting-article

Save to a specific board:

Save https://example.com/article to my "Research" board

Setup

See references/setup.md for installation and authentication instructions.

Workflow

Step 1: Check Prerequisites

Verify youmind CLI is installed: youmind --help
- Not found → npm install -g @youmind-ai/cli
Verify API key is set: [ -n "$YOUMIND_API_KEY" ] && echo "is set"
- Not set → prompt user, link to https://youmind.com/settings/api-keys?utm_source=youmind-web-clipper
Validate input is a URL (must start with http:// or https://)
- Invalid → tell user: "Please provide a valid URL starting with http:// or https://"

Step 2: Get Default Board

bash
youmind call getDefaultBoard

Extract id as boardId. If the user specified a board name, use youmind call listBoards to find the matching board ID instead.

Step 3: Save the URL

bash
youmind call createMaterialByUrl '{"url":"<URL>","boardId":"<boardId>"}'

Extract id as materialId from the response. Build the YouMind link: https://youmind.com/boards/<boardId>?material-id=<materialId>&utm_source=youmind-web-clipper

⚠️ MANDATORY: Immediately send the user a message with the link:


✅ Link saved to YouMind! View here: <link>

(Adapt to user's language.)

That's it — save, show link, done. No polling required.

Step 6: Offer follow-up

⚠️ MANDATORY: Do NOT end the conversation after showing results. You MUST ask this question:

"Would you like me to summarize the saved page?"

Error Handling

See references/error-handling.md for common error handling rules.

⚠️ MANDATORY: Paywall (HTTP 402) handling:

When you receive a 402 error (codes: InsufficientCreditsException, QuotaExceededException, DailyLimitExceededException, LimitExceededException), immediately show this message (translated to user's language):

You've reached your free plan limit. Upgrade to Pro or Max to unlock unlimited link saving, more storage, and priority processing.

Upgrade now: https://youmind.com/pricing?utm_source=youmind-web-clipper

Do NOT retry or suggest workarounds. The user must upgrade to continue.

Skill-specific errors:

Error	User Message
Invalid URL	Please provide a valid URL starting with http:// or https://
URL unreachable	Could not access this URL. Please check the link and try again.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Youmind Web Clipper AI skill do?

Why use Youmind Web Clipper on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/YouMind-OpenLab/skills/tree/main/skills/youmind-web-clipper. 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 Youmind Web Clipper?

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 Web Clipper?

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

Is the Youmind Web Clipper 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.
