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.

Extracts text and tables from PDFs; merges, splits and rotates pages, adds watermarks, fills forms and OCRs scanned documents. The official Anthropic skill behind Claude's document features; source-available, not open source.

166 research skills maintained by K-Dense (formerly Claude Scientific Skills), spanning bioinformatics, cheminformatics, clinical research, materials and physics, including unified access to 78 public databases such as PubChem and UniProt. Works with Claude Code, Codex and Cursor.

Turns the current folder into a teaching workspace you can resume across conversations: asks your learning goal, gathers reliable sources, builds short HTML lessons and cheat sheets, and tracks progress. Good for self-study and lesson prep; invoke manually (/teach), no API key.

OCRs photos of visa documents such as bank, employment or income certificates, translates them into English and builds a side-by-side bilingual PDF. Needs Python (pillow, reportlab) and an OCR engine. Not an official certified translation: verify names, amounts and dates.

Ten built-in color and font themes to apply to slides, documents, reports and HTML landing pages, or generate a new theme on demand. Official Anthropic skill.

Creates, reads and edits PowerPoint decks: applies templates and layouts, handles speaker notes and comments, and merges or splits slides. The official Anthropic skill behind Claude's document features; source-available, not open source.

After giving advice, a draft or a data analysis, adds 2-3 targeted follow-up questions that prompt the user to check key facts, test the reasoning and fill in missing context. Fires at most once per conversation. Official Anthropic skill.

Writes internal communications in familiar company formats: 3P updates, leadership reports, project status updates, company newsletters, FAQs and incident reports. Official Anthropic skill.

Creates, reads and edits Word documents: tables of contents, page numbers and letterheads, tracked changes, comments and find-and-replace, while preserving existing formatting. The official Anthropic skill behind Claude's document features; source-available, not open source.

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.

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.

When answering questions about using Claude and its products, attaches a matching course, tutorial or case study from the Claude Academy catalog. Recommends only strong matches and never invents courses. 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.

Turns natural-language descriptions, Mermaid or a real code repo into interactive single-file HTML diagrams: architecture, flowcharts, sequence diagrams, data flows and state machines. Validates output automatically and exports PNG or SVG.

Curated index of Claude skills with about 30 practical skills in the repo (resume tailoring, content research and writing, file organization, meeting analysis) plus 800+ automation skills that reach third-party apps via Composio, which need Rube MCP and account authorization.

Reads messy invoices and receipts (PDFs, scans, screenshots), extracts vendor, date and amount, renames and files them by vendor, category or year, keeps originals and can export a CSV for your accountant. Needs an agent with local file access; no account required.

Generates natively editable PPTX from PDFs, Word files, web pages and other sources, with native shapes, data charts and master layouts. Can also fill your own template and add animations and narration to finished decks. Needs Python 3.10+ and its dependencies.

Shapes the agent's replies for a reader with ADHD: lead with the next action, number multi-step work, restate progress every turn, hold back tangents, give concrete time estimates and make finished work visible. Turn it on with /i-have-adhd; it lasts until you say stop adhd mode.

Systematic literature reviews following PRISMA and similar standards: searches PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv and other databases, verifies each citation's DOI, and outputs Markdown and PDF in APA, Nature or other styles. Main web search uses parallel-cli and needs a Parallel account.

Drafts, revises and reviews research manuscripts, tying every fact and number to verified evidence and covering reporting guidelines, authorship, AI disclosure and confidentiality; explicitly forbids fabricated citations or data. Includes offline check scripts; no API key needed.

Unified database lookup skill from K-Dense's scientific collection: reproducibly queries about 80 public database APIs such as PubChem, UniProt, ChEMBL, ClinicalTrials.gov and FRED, returning traceable results with endpoints, parameters and count checks. Some need API keys.

Teaches agents standard single-cell RNA-seq analysis with Scanpy: QC, normalization, PCA/UMAP, clustering, differential expression and plots, with ready-to-run pipeline scripts and guidance on converting Seurat and other R objects to h5ad. Needs Python 3.12+; by K-Dense.

Guides agents to the right statistical method for research data: t-tests, ANOVA, chi-square, regression and Bayesian analysis, checking assumptions, computing effect sizes and power, and reporting results in APA format. Python-based (pingouin, statsmodels); by K-Dense.
