A guided tour of the most useful skills from anthropics/skills on GitHub, ranked by everyday usefulness in Lovable projects.
Top Skills From anthropics/skills
Anthropic publishes a reference skills collection at github.com/anthropics/skills. It is the highest-signal source in the ecosystem. Here are the ones I install on every project.
1. PDF
Location: document-skills/pdf. Generates and reads PDF files. Pairs perfectly with invoicing, reports, and contracts.
2. Docx
Location: document-skills/docx. Reads and writes Microsoft Word documents. Surprisingly useful for any B2B tool.
3. Xlsx
Location: document-skills/xlsx. Spreadsheet read/write. Critical for data import/export features.
4. Pptx
Location: document-skills/pptx. Generate PowerPoint decks programmatically.
5. Skill-creator
Location: skill-creator. Meta-skill: helps you author new skills. The right starting point for anyone building their first one.
How to install all of them
Clone the repo, zip each folder, drag into Lovable. Or use our 60-second install guide for the step-by-step.
