Claude skills for Documents
5 skills in the bank are filed under Documents. They are grouped here because they compete for the same jobs — which is the reason an agent reaching for one of them sometimes gets another.
- Internal Commsanthropics/skillsWriting aimed at your own colleagues: the announcement, the status update, the org-change note. Cares about house format and tone, not file wrangling.
- PDFanthropics/skillsWork on PDF files themselves: pull out text or tables, merge or split them, fill in forms, add a watermark, or OCR a scan so it becomes searchable.
- Presentationsanthropics/skillsSlides as a file: build a deck, edit one someone sent you, work with layouts and speaker notes. Anywhere a .pptx goes in or comes out.
- Spreadsheetsanthropics/skillsSpreadsheets and CSVs: add a column, write the formula, build the chart, or turn a messy export into something with real headers and types.
- Word Documentsanthropics/skillsProduce or edit a real .docx: a report, a letter, a template with proper headings and a table of contents. Word specifically, not PDF and not a spreadsheet.
Knowing the Documents list is the easy half. Picking from it under time pressure is the game.
