Title: Add Native Support for Claude Agent Skills (Anthropic Skills API Integration)

With the latest advancements in the Claude API, especially the release of the Agent Skills system (pre-built and custom Skills), it would be highly valuable for TypingMind to natively support Skills integration.

What are Agent Skills?
Agent Skills are modular, code-enabled task folders (containing instructions, scripts, and resources) that Claude loads dynamically for specialized tasks—like company-specific document templates, advanced data analysis, or automation workflows. Anthropic’s Skills enable domain expertise and high-quality automation unavailable to pure prompt-based approaches.

Current Situation:

  • As of now, using Skills via the Claude API requires manually constructing API requests with the container.skills parameter, setting beta headers, and managing skill uploads and versioning outside the TypingMind interface.

  • Within TypingMind, Skills-based workflows can only be simulated through prompt engineering or by using Agents, but do not activate real code execution and skill composition as meant by Anthropic.

Proposed Feature:

  • Add a user-friendly Skills management panel directly in TypingMind:

    • Install and upload custom Skills (folders/SKILL.md/files) via the GUI.

    • List Anthropic pre-built Skills and allow enabling/disabling per model or Agent.

    • Attach one or more Skills via simple UI to a given AI Agent/conversation.

    • Expose a Skills field/selection in the advanced model settings or per-conversation options.

    • Automate beta header management and the container structure in outgoing API requests.

    • Display output files or artifacts generated by Skills (Excel, PDF, etc.) directly in the chat/artifact panel.

  • Optional: GUI for downloading/uploading files related to Skills, with workflow for multi-turn operations (container reuse).

Benefits:

  • Unlocks the full power of modern Claude API models within TypingMind.

  • Enables users to bring domain-specific logic, automations, and templates into their chat workflows—no more relying on fragile manual prompt tricks.

  • Lowers the technical bar for deploying real Skills; no coding required for most workflows, GUI-first experience.

  • Brings TypingMind in line with the most advanced enterprise AI platforms, giving business users or teams a single interface for "out-of-the-box" and deeply customized Skill-based LLMs.

  • Allows users to leverage the best from Claude, including document generation/editing, custom data analysis, robust report creation, etc.—without ever leaving TypingMind.

  • Greatly enhances TypingMind’s value proposition for professional, enterprise, and power users.

Why now?
Anthropic has made major advances with the Skills API and new code execution tools, making it a perfect time for TypingMind to integrate these capabilities. Early support would further reinforce TypingMind as the most advanced interface for Claude and other top LLMs.
