Document SKILLs — Development skill for Claude Code

Document Processing Skills

English | [中文](README.zh-CN.md)

A collection of Claude Code / Codex skills for document manipulation — PDF extraction/forms, Excel analysis/formulas, Word, and PowerPoint.

Quick start

Claude Code, as a plugin

Two commands inside Claude Code, no cloning:

/plugin marketplace add appautomaton/document-SKILLs
/plugin install document-skills@appautomaton-skills

Skills are then invoked as `document-skills:pdf`, `document-skills:docx`, and so on.

Any agent, via symlinks

[!TIP] Clone this repo anywhere you keep your skills, then symlink each skill into your agent's skills directory.

git clone https://github.com/appautomaton/document-SKILLs.git ~/skills/documents
cd ~/skills/documents
