Top Skills From the Official Anthropic Skills Repo (And How to Install Them)

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.

Or skip ahead

All five are already in our catalog — search by name and click install.
