Submit expense reimbursements through Benepass (app.getbenepass.com). For users whose employer uses Benepass as their benefits platform. Handles login, benefit selection, form filling, receipt upload, and submission. Requires browser/computer-use capabilities.

Make a phone call to book an appointment or reservation. Checks calendar first, gets explicit consent before dialing, discloses AI identity on the call, and adds the booking to calendar when done.

Cancel a subscription or unsubscribe from a service. Works from a description, a pasted charge line, a URL, or a photo/screenshot. Can also audit a full statement for recurring charges and cancel several at once. Finds the right contact method and handles the cancellation — including phone calls.

Help plan an event — from a birthday dinner to a wedding. Scales to the size of the occasion. Handles venue research, guest lists, timelines, vendors, and budgets.

Help submit an expense or reimbursement on any platform. Detects the right tool (Benepass, Brex, Concur, Expensify, etc.), finds receipts, checks for duplicates, and walks through submission.

Handle small bureaucratic tasks — jury duty responses, parking tickets, passport renewals, DMV forms, permit applications, and other government or administrative paperwork.

Run financial calculations and scenario comparisons — tax estimates, loan comparisons, retirement projections, rent vs. buy, investment scenarios, and more. Pure math, no accounts or logins needed.

Help order groceries for delivery. Concierge-style flow — store selection, occasion-based list building, budget tracking, and cart assembly.

Help find and book a service provider for a task — cleaning, handyman, moving, assembly, yard work, errands, etc. Searches TaskRabbit, Handy, Thumbtack, and similar platforms.

Use this skill when the user wants intellectual understanding — learning how or why something works, not getting a task done or soliciting Claude's judgment. Trigger for: - Explicit learning requests: teach, explain, ELI5, walk me through, quiz me, flashcards, "I'm rusty on"; definitions ("what is X") - Terse concept names implying "help me understand this": "Galois theory," "transformers, from scratch" - Confusion signals: "won't stick," "keep mixing these up," "not getting it" - Learning-path questions: prerequisites, sequencing, what to study before X - Conceptual questions about mechanisms, causes, or dynamics Don't trigger for: - Tasks: coding, writing, calculation, translation, factual lookup, news updates - Personal troubleshooting; resource/textbook recommendations - Claude's evaluative verdict: opinion prompts ("do you think X", "settle this", "honest take", "is X dead / still taken seriously") and interpretive takes ("was X really as harsh as people say")

Help order food timed to arrive at a specific time. Works backward from target arrival, suggests restaurants, builds cart, and monitors delivery.

Refill a prescription at a pharmacy. Works from a medication name, an Rx number, a photo of the bottle, or just "I'm running low." Confirms exactly what's being requested, gathers everything the pharmacy will ask for up front, and handles the refill online or by phone — whichever is fastest.

Help return an item or request a refund from any retailer. Identifies the item, finds the return policy, navigates the process, and handles shipping labels or phone calls.

Use this skill whenever the user wants to create, read, edit, or manipulate Word documents (.docx files). Triggers include: any mention of 'Word doc', 'word document', '.docx', or requests to produce professional documents with formatting like tables of contents, headings, page numbers, or letterheads. Also use when extracting or reorganizing content from .docx files, inserting or replacing images in documents, performing find-and-replace in Word files, working with tracked changes or comments, or converting content into a polished Word document. If the user asks for a 'report', 'memo', 'letter', 'template', or similar deliverable as a Word or .docx file, use this skill. Do NOT use for PDFs, spreadsheets, Google Docs, or general coding tasks unrelated to document generation.

Use this skill when a file has been uploaded but its content is NOT in your context — only its path at /mnt/user-data/uploads/ is listed in an uploaded_files block. This skill is a router: it tells you which tool to use for each file type (pdf, docx, xlsx, csv, json, images, archives, ebooks) so you read the right amount the right way instead of blindly running cat on a binary. Triggers: any mention of /mnt/user-data/uploads/, an uploaded_files section, a file_path tag, or a user asking about an uploaded file you have not yet read. Do NOT use this skill if the file content is already visible in your context inside a documents block — you already have it.

Use this skill when you need to read, inspect, or extract content from PDF files — especially when file content is NOT in your context and you need to read it from disk. Covers content inventory, text extraction, page rasterization for visual inspection, embedded image/attachment/table/form-field extraction, and choosing the right reading strategy for different document types (text-heavy, scanned, slide-decks, forms, data-heavy). Do NOT use this skill for PDF creation, form filling, merging, splitting, watermarking, or encryption — use the pdf skill instead.

Use this skill any time a .pptx file is involved in any way — as input, output, or both. This includes: creating slide decks, pitch decks, or presentations; reading, parsing, or extracting text from any .pptx file (even if the extracted content will be used elsewhere, like in an email or summary); editing, modifying, or updating existing presentations; combining or splitting slide files; working with templates, layouts, speaker notes, or comments. Trigger whenever the user mentions "deck," "slides," "presentation," or references a .pptx filename, regardless of what they plan to do with the content afterward. If a .pptx file needs to be opened, created, or touched, use this skill.

Use this skill any time a spreadsheet file is the primary input or output. This means any task where the user wants to: open, read, edit, or fix an existing .xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, or .tsv file (e.g., adding columns, computing formulas, formatting, charting, cleaning messy data); create a new spreadsheet from scratch or from other data sources; or convert between tabular file formats. Trigger especially when the user references a spreadsheet file by name or path — even casually (like "the xlsx in my downloads") — and wants something done to it or produced from it. Also trigger for cleaning or restructuring messy tabular data files (malformed rows, misplaced headers, junk data) into proper spreadsheets. The deliverable must be a spreadsheet file. Do NOT trigger when the primary deliverable is a Word document, HTML report, standalone Python script, database pipeline, or Google Sheets API integration, even if tabular data is involved.
