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.
Best use case
youmind is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
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.
Teams using youmind should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.

# 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.
