# Document Skills
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The `document-skills/` subdirectory contains skills that Anthropic developed to help Claude create various document file formats. These skills demonstrate advanced patterns for working with complex file formats and binary data:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **docx** - Create, edit, and analyze Word documents with support for tracked changes, comments, formatting preservation, and text extraction
|
||||||
|
- **pdf** - Comprehensive PDF manipulation toolkit for extracting text and tables, creating new PDFs, merging/splitting documents, and handling forms
|
||||||
|
- **pptx** - Create, edit, and analyze PowerPoint presentations with support for layouts, templates, charts, and automated slide generation
|
||||||
|
- **xlsx** - Create, edit, and analyze Excel spreadsheets with support for formulas, formatting, data analysis, and visualization
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Important Disclaimer:** These document skills are point-in-time snapshots and are not actively maintained or updated. Versions of these skills ship pre-included with Claude. They are primarily intended as reference examples to illustrate how Anthropic approaches developing more complex skills that work with binary file formats and document structures.

# Try in Claude Code
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can register this repository as a Claude Code Plugin marketplace by running the following command in Claude Code:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After installing the plugin, you can use the skill by just mentioning it. For instance, if you install the document-skills plugin from the marketplace, you can ask Claude Code to do something like: "use the pdf skill to extract the form fields from path/to/some-file.pdf"

# Partner Skills
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Skills are a great way to teach Claude how to get better at using specific pieces of software. As we see awesome example skills from partners, we may highlight some of them here:

# Agent Skills Spec
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A skill is a folder of instructions, scripts, and resources that agents can discover and load dynamically to perform better at specific tasks. In order for the folder to be recognized as a skill, it must contain a `SKILL.md` file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Skill Folder Layout
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A minimal skill folder looks like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
my-skill/
|
||||||
|
- SKILL.md
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
More complex skills can add additional directories and files as needed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# The SKILL.md file
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The skill's "entrypoint" is the `SKILL.md` file. It is the only file required to exist. The file must start with a YAML frontmatter followed by regular Markdown.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## YAML Frontmatter
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The YAML frontmatter has 2 required properties:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `name`
|
||||||
|
- The name of the skill in hyphen-case
|
||||||
|
- Restricted to lowercase Unicode alphanumeric + hyphen
|
||||||
|
- Must match the name of the directory containing the SKILL.md
|
||||||
|
- `description`
|
||||||
|
- Description of what the skill does and when Claude should use it
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are 3 optional properties:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `license`
|
||||||
|
- The license applied to the skill
|
||||||
|
- We recommend keeping it short (either the name of a license or the name of a bundled license file)
|
||||||
|
- `allowed-tools`
|
||||||
|
- A list of tools that are pre-approved to run
|
||||||
|
- Currently only supported in Claude Code
|
||||||
|
- `metadata`
|
||||||
|
- A map from string keys to string values
|
||||||
|
- Clients can use this to store additional properties not defined by the Agent Skills Spec
|
||||||
|
- We recommend making your key names reasonably unique to avoid accidental conflicts
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Markdown Body
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Markdown body has no restrictions on it.
