Tools

Guides the agent through writing or improving a skill: clarify intent, draft SKILL.md, run scored evals with and without the skill, then tune the description so it triggers accurately. Official Anthropic skill.

Anthropic's terminal coding agent: understands your codebase, edits code, runs commands and handles git workflows, with plugins, MCP and a headless mode (claude -p). Sign in with a Claude account or set an API key.

Reference for the Claude API and Anthropic SDK: model selection and pricing, streaming, tool use, prompt caching, Managed Agents and more, plus workflows for model migration and prompt audits. Official Anthropic skill.

Guides agents in building quality MCP servers: research the protocol and target API, design tools, implement with Python (FastMCP) or the TypeScript SDK, and write evaluation questions to test the result. Official Anthropic skill.

Creates, edits and analyzes Excel spreadsheets: formulas, formatting, charts and data cleaning, plus conversion between CSV, TSV and other tabular formats. The official Anthropic skill behind Claude's document features; source-available, not open source.

Develops a design philosophy first, then draws posters, illustrations and other static visuals in code, exporting PNG or PDF. Emphasizes original work rather than copying existing artists. Official Anthropic skill.

Makes GIFs that follow Slack's recommended size, frame rate, color and length for emoji (128x128) and message GIFs (480x480), with animation tips and tools to assemble and validate them. Built on Python and Pillow. Official Anthropic skill.

Generates hook rules from a one-line description or by analyzing recent conversations. Rules are Markdown files with match conditions that block or warn on dangerous commands and unwanted patterns, and take effect without a restart. Official Anthropic plugin.

Toolkit for building Claude Code plugins: 7 skills on plugin structure, hooks, MCP integration, commands, subagents and skill writing, a guided eight-phase create command, and subagents for agent generation, plugin validation and skill review. Maintained by Anthropic.

Scaffolds a Claude Agent SDK project in Python or TypeScript interactively with /new-sdk-app, then a verifier agent checks dependencies, config and code against official best practices. Maintained by Anthropic.

Scans your codebase and recommends the best hooks, skills, MCP servers, subagents and slash commands by category. Analysis only, no file changes; a quick way to set up Claude Code for a project. Official Anthropic plugin.

Connects Claude Code to the Pyright language server for static type checking and code intelligence in Python. Install pyright first with npm, pip or pipx. Official Anthropic plugin.

Official Anthropic plugin that reads local session logs in ~/.claude/projects and generates an interactive HTML usage report covering tokens, cache hit rate, subagents, skills and the most expensive prompts, with optimization tips. Needs Node.js.

Connects Claude Code to gopls, Go's official language server, for code intelligence, refactoring and analysis. Install gopls with go install and add Go's bin directory to PATH first. Official Anthropic plugin.

Creates or improves Agent Skills from scratch: writes eval cases to test them, runs benchmarks with variance analysis, and tunes descriptions for more accurate triggering. Maintained by Anthropic.

Anthropic's official plugin marketplace, built into Claude Code by default, with 300+ official and partner plugins for development, security, design and office collaboration. Browse and install with /plugin.

Designs and builds MCP servers: first picks a deployment model among remote HTTP, MCPB bundles and local stdio, then guides tool design, auth and in-chat interactive components. Maintained by Anthropic.

Official Anthropic skill for cleaning messy Excel exports: trims spaces, standardizes case and dates, converts text numbers, dedupes, and flags mixed types, garbled text and errors. Keeps originals via helper-column formulas and confirms each step. Works in Claude for Excel; local files need Python.

Official Anthropic finance skill that checks Excel for formula errors like #REF!, numbers hardcoded in formulas, sum ranges that miss rows and mixed units; on full models it also checks the balance sheet balances and cash ties. Lists issues and fixes and asks before changing anything.

Compliance skill from Anthropic's official operations plugin: maps controls, owners and evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA and PCI DSS, schedules audits, runs gap analyses, and outputs audit-readiness checklists and evidence collection plans. Have legal or compliance experts review.

Turns processes that live in people's heads into SOPs: flowcharts, a RACI matrix (responsible, accountable, consulted, informed), detailed steps and exceptions, ready for handoffs, audits and onboarding. Describe the process or paste existing notes. 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 a full campaign plan from a marketing goal: objectives, audience, key messages, channel strategy, a week-by-week content calendar and success metrics, plus budget allocation if you give a budget. Suited to launches, acquisition and brand campaigns. From Anthropic's marketing plugin.

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.
