Document Skills
Anthropic's official skills for creating and editing Office and PDF files: Word (docx), PDF, PowerPoint (pptx) and Excel (xlsx). They install together through the `document-skills` plugin of the `anthropics/skills` marketplace. They are not code-documentation skills.
Strengths
- Four office formats covered by a single plugin: docx, pdf, pptx, xlsx
- Reads and edits existing files, not just creates new ones
- Published by Anthropic in a public repo: you can read each skill before installing it
Limitations
- Source-available licence, not open source: read the terms before reusing or redistributing
- A generated Office file has to be reopened in Word, Excel or PowerPoint: layout and formulas cannot be judged in the terminal
Best for
- Someone who has to produce a Word report or a deck from notes or data
- Batch processing of received PDFs or spreadsheets (extract, fill, convert)
- A freelancer or team whose clients expect a .docx, .pptx or .xlsx, not Markdown
