About
Document Skills is a plugin from Anthropic’s public skills repository. It bundles the same four skills that power Claude’s own file creation, so Claude Code can produce and change real office files instead of only writing text:
– docx: create, read and edit Word documents and templates, with headings, tables of contents, page numbers, images, find and replace, tracked changes and comments.
– xlsx: open, fix or build spreadsheets (.xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, .tsv) with formulas, formatting, charts and cleanup of messy data.
– pptx: create, read and edit slide decks and templates, including layouts, speaker notes and comments.
– pdf: extract text and tables, merge, split, rotate, watermark, fill forms, encrypt or decrypt, extract images, and OCR scanned pages.
The skills trigger on their own when you mention a file type, for example “Use the PDF skill to extract the form fields from invoice.pdf”.
Install in Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills
/plugin install document-skills@anthropic-agent-skills
The same marketplace also offers example-skills (skill-creator, mcp-builder, webapp-testing, frontend-design and more) and claude-api.
Good to know: Anthropic says these skills are for demonstration and education, and what you get in Claude apps may differ, so test them on your own files first. They run Python and other tools on your machine to build the files.
