Learn to Generate pptx, xlsx, and pdf with Official Claude Skills

This workflow is a reproducible, introduction to Anthropic managed Agent Skills using only the built-in document Skills: pptx, xlsx, docx, and pdf, with the hands-on focus on pptx, xlsx, and pdf. It follows the official patterns from the Agent Skills Quickstart, Using Agent Skills with the API, and the Skills Introduction Cookbook notebook. The public anthropics/skills repository is also useful as a reference because it includes the document Skills folders and explains that the repo is educational and may not match Claude production behavior exactly.

Goal

• Enable a team to run a shared, low-friction Agent Skills intro with official code patterns
• Produce one .pptx, one .xlsx, and one .pdf file that anyone can open locally
• Keep the workflow parallelizable so people can split work by track

1. skills.list(...) returns the Anthropic managed Skills and shows pptx, xlsx, docx, pdf
