Everyday software engineering plugin: standup summaries, code review, structured debugging, architecture decision records, incident response and pre-deploy checks. Official from Anthropic, built mainly for Cowork but also usable in Claude Code.

For preclinical life sciences research: bundles MCP connectors for PubMed, bioRxiv, ChEMBL, Open Targets, ClinicalTrials and more, plus analysis skills for single-cell RNA QC, scvi-tools and nf-core pipelines. Official from Anthropic; some data sources need accounts.

Checks hours before payroll for US small businesses: totals regular time, overtime and PTO from Gusto, QuickBooks Payroll or timesheets, and flags missed punches, overtime anomalies, rate changes and mid-period hires or exits. Prepares only, never runs payroll. Official from Anthropic.

Compensation analysis for HR and managers: market pay percentiles by role, level and location, offer competitiveness checks and equity modeling; upload a pay sheet to find employees outside their band and flight risks. Without a comp data source it uses public web data, so verify. By Anthropic.

Drafts offer letters from role, level, location and comp package, listing base salary, equity, signing bonus and first-year total, plus talking points for the hiring manager's negotiation. The template follows US company conventions; have legal review before sending. Official from Anthropic.

Tracks the hiring funnel through sourcing, screening, interviews, debrief and offer, watching stage time and conversion, source effectiveness, offer acceptance and time to hire. With an ATS connected it pulls candidate data and updates status. A brief skill from Anthropic's human-resources plugin.

Screens resumes against a role rubric into a cited shortlist, ignoring irrelevant details like name and age; drafts invite, hold or decline replies, schedules interviews and builds onboarding checklists. Gmail and Calendar are optional, sending only after you confirm. Official from Anthropic.

Turns a hiring need into a job description, a structured interview guide with scorecard, resume screening criteria and an offer template, delivered as Word documents. With Claude in Chrome it can save drafts in DocuSign. Official from Anthropic; have HR or legal review offer terms.

Data analysis plugin: writes queries in each SQL dialect, explores datasets, runs statistical tests, charts with Python and builds interactive HTML dashboards, then reviews methods and conclusions before sharing. Connects to Snowflake, BigQuery and other warehouses. Official from Anthropic.

Performance review season helper: generates self-review and manager review templates and calibration materials, summarizes rating distributions and promotion cases, and rewrites vague feedback into specific behavioral examples. Works in plain chat. Official from Anthropic.

Anthropic's official data skill that guides agents to write, translate and optimize SQL across Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, PostgreSQL and other warehouse dialects, including CTEs, window functions and analytical aggregations.

Generates people analytics reports from employee data: headcount snapshots, voluntary and involuntary attrition, diversity metrics, spans of control and flight risk, with findings and recommendations for leadership. Needs an uploaded employee CSV or a connected HRIS. Official from Anthropic.

Builds onboarding plans for new hires: a pre-start checklist (accounts, equipment, buddy), day-one and first-week schedules, and 30/60/90-day goals. Works in plain chat; with an HRIS, knowledge base or calendar connected it pulls in team info and books day-one events. Official from Anthropic.

HR plugin: drafts offer letters, generates onboarding checklists, runs performance reviews, answers policy questions, and produces compensation benchmarks and people analytics reports. Can connect to HRIS and ATS systems. Official from Anthropic.

Open-source infrastructure-as-code tool and community fork of Terraform: describe cloud resources declaratively, run plan to generate an execution plan, then apply changes, creating resources in parallel by dependency graph. Community-governed, MPL-2.0.

Turns websites and Electron desktop apps into deterministic CLIs, with built-in adapters for Reddit, Hacker News, Bilibili, Zhihu, Xiaohongshu and more, and lets agents operate any page through your signed-in Chrome. Needs its companion browser extension.

Kubernetes package manager that packages, installs, upgrades and rolls back releases with Chart templates, including ready-made charts from Artifact Hub. A CNCF graduated project; needs a kubeconfig to reach your cluster.

Detects hardcoded passwords, API keys and tokens in Git repos, files and stdin, and can run as a pre-commit hook or GitHub Action to block leaks. Now feature-frozen with security fixes only, as the author has moved on to Betterleaks.

Finds leaked credentials in Git, GitHub, S3, filesystems and more, recognizing 800+ secret types and checking with each service whether a key is still live to cut false positives.

Helps HR and hiring managers design structured interviews: plans rounds by role and level, builds question banks, competency matrices and scoring rubrics, and suggests ways to reduce interviewer bias and recalibrate. Examples focus on tech roles; optional local Python scripts.

Chief people officer perspective for HR and founders: hiring plans and headcount costs, salary bands and equity design, org structure, performance calibration and retention. Includes two local Python scripts; pay examples use USD and US city tiers. Have comp and equity plans reviewed.

CLI and library for evaluating and red-teaming LLM apps: compare prompts and model outputs in bulk, scan for security vulnerabilities and plug into CI/CD, with evals running locally. Now part of OpenAI and still open source under MIT.
