local-ai-use

local-ai-use#

The goal of this skill is to teach your AI agent to use image generation, text generation, and text to speech locally.

Prerequisites#

  • Claude Code installed and authenticated.

Step 1: Check which skills are available#

Confirm that local AI skills are not yet visible to your agent.

  • Run claude "Which skills can you see?" --model sonnet. You should see a list of skills that should not include anything related to local large language model (LLM) usage.

  • Make sure there is no AGENTS.md file on your local folder.

Step 2: Enable Claude to see local-ai-use#

  • Install the skill with the skills CLI. Run this in your terminal, not inside Claude:

npx skills add amd/skills --skill local-ai-use --agent claude-code

  • Run claude "Which skills can you see?" --model sonnet. You should see a list of skills that includes local-ai-use.

Step 3: Run the skill#

Open Claude and run the prompt:

Learn how to do image generation locally

Followed by

Generate the image of a cat

Claude should install Lemonade locally on your device and allow you to generate images locally after the first setup run.

Step 4: (Optional) Go beyond#

The local-ai-use skill can also help you with text to speech and speech to text locally. Ask Claude for help there.

Step 5: (Optional) Try to get things done without AMD Skills#

Remove the added skills from .claude/skills/ and rerun the experiment above. This should lead to a high variance in execution length and token usage.

Common outcomes without the skill include:

  • Model being successful after significant token usage.

  • Model providing a knowledge article instead of actually learning how to do it.

  • Model attempting to come up with a custom strategy to generate images locally, resulting in very low-quality assets.
