Process and extract data from scanned Israeli government forms using OCR. Supports Tabu (land registry), Tax Authority forms, Bituach Leumi documents, and other official Israeli paperwork. Use when user asks to OCR Hebrew documents, extract data from Israeli forms, "lesarek tofes", parse Tabu extract, read scanned tax form, or process Israeli government documents.

Generate Hebrew documents (PDF, DOCX/Word, PPTX) with correct right-to-left layout, mixed Hebrew-and-English bidi handling, and Hebrew typography. Use whenever the output is a Hebrew or mixed Hebrew/English Word document, Hebrew PDF, or Hebrew PowerPoint ("Hebrew Word document", "מסמך Word בעברית", "create a .docx in Hebrew", "litstor hozeh"), or Israeli templates like Heshbonit Mas, Hozeh, or Protokol. ALSO use this for the symptom where a Hebrew document looks fine on screen or in Claude but comes out scrambled, reversed, or broken in Word, with English, numbers, or punctuation on the wrong side ("Hebrew text reversed in Word", "fix Hebrew formatting in Word"); the fix is regenerating the .docx with paragraph-level RTL/bidi, NOT a web/CSS RTL change. Prefer over the generic docx/pdf skills ONLY when the document is Hebrew or RTL; for English-only docs use the generic skill. Covers reportlab, WeasyPrint, python-docx, pptxgenjs. Do NOT use for OCR or reading existing documents (use hebrew-ocr-forms).
