What it does
Inko Handwriting Skill connects an agent to the Inko service and writes notes, letters, essays and worked math solutions in natural handwriting. The result is a plain flat page as PNG or PDF on white, cream, grid, ruled, essay or character-grid paper. You can change ink color, pen type, thickness and letter spacing, keep an editable stroke package and set your own layout with a title and text boxes. A task can be supplied as a photo: the skill reads it and returns only a separate sheet with the solution. The service needs an API key from inkotype.com, which the skill saves through `inko.py auth` into user configuration, not the project. The Lyric 1 and Logic 1 handwriting models are free as of version 1.6.0, and the supported symbol list is read from the server with `inko.py charset` and `inko.py models --symbols`. In version 1.3.0 the author removed photo, scan and perspective effects.
Who it is for. People who want a neat handwritten sheet for themselves: a letter, notes, a card or a worked solution, and who are ready to connect the service with an API key.
Good fit when
- Notes from Markdown become a grid-paper sheet in blue ballpoint.
- A letter or card is made on cream paper without a printed font.
- Math problem solutions are laid out as a sheet of ruled paper.
- The sheet is written in your own hand from a saved set.
Not a fit when
- The work must be handed in as your own handwriting where rules forbid that.
- Text cannot be sent to the external Inko service.
- Imitating another person's real handwriting is needed.
Example request
Write notes.md as a grid-paper sheet in blue ballpoint and give me PNG and PDF.Limitations
The skill works only with the external Inko service: note text and task photos go to its server, and a personal API key is required. Lyric 1 and Logic 1 are free as of version 1.6.0, but service terms may change, so set a daily spend limit on the key. Not every rare symbol can be written, and the list is read from the server. Handwritten sheets must not be passed off as your own where study or work rules forbid it. Installation needs Python 3.9, and missing Pillow and numpy install automatically.
How to disable. Delete the `inko-handwriting` folder from `.claude/skills/` or `.agents/skills/`, the key at `~/.config/inko/key` and revoke the key in your inkotype.com account.
FAQ
Where does the key come from?
From your inkotype.com account, in the API key section. The author advises a separate key for the agent with a daily spend limit.
How do I verify the install?
Run `python <skill-dir>/scripts/inko.py doctor`: it shows whether the key is valid and what the balance is.
What output does the skill give?
Only standard flat PNG and PDF. Photo, desk scene, perspective, paper curl and scan effects were removed in version 1.3.0.
How do I use my own handwriting?
Enter samples on the site: each user has one free slot for personal handwriting with two training runs. The agent then writes with it through Lyric 1.
Which agents does it work in?
The installer detects Claude Code (`.claude/skills/`) and the `.agents/skills/` family: Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, goose and Amp.
