Find relevant Claude learning resources for an onboarding question.
Useful for learning a feature; it is outside the intended scope of an already active task.
Explore documented Claude skills for Word, PDF, spreadsheets, presentations, design and writing. Check paid-plan access, dependencies and example limitations.
A Claude skill packages instructions and resources for a repeatable task. Choose the output you need first: a document format, a visual artifact or a collaboration workflow. The catalog's Anthropic examples are documented repository implementations, not reports of practical installation tests.
| Deliverable | Skills to inspect | What distinguishes them |
|---|---|---|
| Word document | DOCX | Document structure and Word files |
| PDF-specific extraction and production | ||
| Spreadsheet | XLSX | Tabular files and calculations |
| Presentation | PPTX | Slide files and presentation workflows |
| Static visuals | Canvas Design, Algorithmic Art | Composition or code-driven graphics |
| Writing and collaboration | Doc Coauthoring, Internal Comms | Context, review and communication format |
Brand Guidelines and Theme Factory address visual consistency. MCP Builder and the Claude API skill concern integration development. They solve different problems from document production, so inspect each card's purpose rather than choosing by the shared word skill.
The reviewed Anthropic repository describes these examples as available on paid Claude.ai plans and notes that behavior can differ from built-in implementations. Check the current Skills interface and account capabilities. A repository example's dependencies and license belong to that example; do not assume identical setup for every built-in feature.
Read the official skill folder, required dependencies and restrictions. Try a representative input and inspect the output format before relying on the result. A skill guides the workflow; it does not independently establish the truth of your source material or grant access to another service.
The skills catalog compares workflow additions, while Claude Code covers the separately documented CLI context. The skill or MCP guide explains when a workflow package and a service tool solve different needs.

Useful for learning a feature; it is outside the intended scope of an already active task.
Prepare interactive generative graphics with repeatable random seeds.
Choose this for code-driven art; it requires a p5.js workflow rather than a general image editor.
Apply Anthropic visual identity to documents and other artifacts.
Its brand choices belong to Anthropic; adapt a separate skill for a different organization.
Guide the composition of static posters and visual artwork.
Intended for still visual deliverables rather than interactive application behavior.
Look up Claude API and SDK details while developing an integration.
This guidance targets Anthropic integration work; using an API can introduce separate usage charges.
Add focused questions that help a reader inspect an actionable answer.
Designed for selected advice and draft artifacts; routine code and trivial lookups are excluded.
Structure an iterative process for writing documentation with a collaborator.
Choose it when context and reader feedback are available; it is not a one-shot file converter.
Prepare and revise Word documents with deliberate document structure.
Targets Word files; PDF and spreadsheet workflows need their own skills and dependencies.
Guide visual direction and typography for a new or revised interface.
Focuses on visual design decisions; it does not independently verify application functionality.
Adapt internal updates to a consistent organizational format.
Requires the appropriate communication template and organization-specific context.
Guide the design of MCP tools for connecting an agent to a service.
A working integration still requires API access, implementation and verification of tool behavior.
Support extraction, assembly and editing tasks for PDF documents.
Scanned inputs can require OCR; inspect the skill dependencies and validate extracted results.
Create or revise presentation files, including slide structure and notes.
Targets PowerPoint files and templates; other deliverable formats use separate workflows.
Develop and evaluate a reusable skill for a specific workflow.
Meaningful evaluation requires representative tasks and success criteria supplied by the operator.
Apply a coherent color and font theme to an existing artifact.
A theme changes presentation; it does not validate the artifact content or data.
Build interactive HTML artifacts with multiple frontend components.
Choose it for richer application structure; simple single-file artifacts are outside its intended focus.
Prepare small animated assets suitable for sharing in Slack.
Output is an animated image; it does not post to Slack or configure a workspace.
Inspect a local web application with browser automation.
Needs an accessible local application and browser dependencies; it does not certify every target environment.
Prepare, repair or transform spreadsheet files and tabular deliverables.
A spreadsheet must be the main deliverable; document and Google Sheets API tasks need another workflow.
