Productivity skills make an agent fit the tools you already use (Obsidian, Notion, Word, PowerPoint, PDF) and change how it answers: shorter, action-first, numbered. This category holds the office-document skills and the attention-friendly output skills people search for.
Stops the agent from burying the answer. Ten output rules: lead with the next action, number multi-step work, end with one concrete next step, suppress tangents, restate state each turn, give time estimates in minutes, make wins visible, report errors matter-of-factly, cap lists at five, and no prea
Turns one hard question into five independent expert opinions plus a verdict.
Notion's official Claude Code plugin: the Notion MCP server plus four skills (Knowledge Capture, Meeting Intelligence, Research Documentation, Spec to Implementation) and slash commands for search, page creation, database queries and tasks.
Official skills from Obsidian's CEO that teach agents to work correctly with a vault: Obsidian-flavoured Markdown (wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties), Bases (views, filters, formulas), JSON Canvas files, the Obsidian CLI, defuddle for clean web-to-markdown extraction, and knap for templated note generation.
Anthropic's official PDF skill: read, extract, merge, split, fill forms and generate PDFs with scripts the agent runs locally.
Anthropic's official document skill for creating and editing PowerPoint decks: it teaches Claude the pptx structure, layouts, slide masters and the scripts to build or modify .pptx files programmatically.
Anthropic's official document skill for Word files: create .docx documents with proper styles, headings, tables and tracked changes, or edit existing ones in place.
Two kinds of listing. Hosted productivity skills run through the SkillGild MCP server: your agent follows a written guide and calls server tools, while rendering and file work stay on your machine. Community skills are open-source skill folders maintained in public repositories; SkillGild lists and credits them, and the CLI clones them into your agent's skills folder.
2 hosted skills include free runs every month, so you can try one on a real task before deciding on a plan. Open a skill page to see what it produces, what it needs, how to install it and which clients it supports. New to skills?

Yes. Anthropic's document skills (pptx, docx, xlsx, pdf) teach Claude the file formats and ship the scripts that build or edit them. They are source-available rather than open source: install and use them, but do not redistribute them.
Open the skill, copy its install command (skillgild install <slug> --agent claude-code) and run it after skillgild login. Community skills are cloned from their public repository into ~/.claude/skills/; hosted skills get a small wrapper and run through the SkillGild MCP server. Use --agent codex, cursor or gemini-cli for other clients.
Community skills are free under their own open-source licenses. Hosted SkillGild skills include free monthly runs; paid skills need a purchase or SkillGild Pro. Each listing shows its access and license.
