Anthropic's official skills.

This is Anthropic's own skills collection, installed so Claude Code can use it everywhere. The headline skills make and edit real files: proper PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint decks, and Excel spreadsheets, not screenshots of them. There are also skills for canvas design, web artifacts, brand guidelines, and building your own skills.

A sample of what is inside

pdf / docx create and edit real PDFs and Word documents.
pptx / xlsx build PowerPoint decks and Excel workbooks.
canvas-design posters, layouts, and visual design.
web-artifacts-builder build interactive web artifacts.
skill-creator scaffold your own new skills.

How to use it: after install, ask Claude for the output and it reaches for the matching skill, e.g. "turn these notes into a PowerPoint" or "build me an Excel model." You never call them by name.
