Use when needing to automate browser interactions, navigate websites, fill forms, take screenshots, extract data from web pages, or manage browser sessions via Playwright
Use when someone wants to capture their personal writing voice/style so Claude can write as them — building a "writing DNA" from their past emails, chat, posts, and docs across multiple media, and generating a portable per-person voice skill. Also use to refresh or upgrade an existing voice profile.
Find and deduplicate files in a project — replaces copies with symlinks, respects .gitignore and common exclusions. Use this skill whenever the user mentions duplicate files, file deduplication, saving disk space by removing copies, finding identical files, or cleaning up repeated documents in a repo. Especially relevant for documentation-heavy repos with PDFs or other large binary files that may have been copied around.
Use when needing to search, read, draft, send, download attachments from Gmail, or when any other skill requires Gmail operations
Use when needing to process exported WhatsApp conversations — converts raw exports (zip or folder with _chat.txt) into clean markdown with transcribed voice messages
Create clean, atomic commits following project conventions. Use when committing code changes, staging files, or writing commit messages.

# Text from all pages
uvx pdfplumber file.pdf --format text

uvx pdfplumber file.pdf --format json --pages 1
# Document tree with text
uvx pdfplumber file.pdf --structure-text --pages 1
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
