These skills work seamlessly with the collection above. Highly recommended for document processing in research and real estate workflows:
-
pdf - Extract text/tables from PDFs, OCR scanned documents
- Essential for: Offering memos, appraisals, research papers, reports
-
xlsx - Read/write Excel spreadsheets, create financial models
- Essential for: Rent rolls, operating statements, financial models, data analysis
- Critical for CRE: Creates professional models with proper formulas and formatting
-
docx - Process Word documents, create reports
- Essential for: Investment memos, business plans, market reports
-
pptx - Create/analyze PowerPoint presentations
- Essential for: Investment committee presentations, board decks
Installation: These skills are built-in to Claude.ai and available at /mnt/skills/public/ in Claude Code.
Integration Example:
pdf (extract offering memo) → pandas-pro (analyze data) →
cre-investment-analysis (perform analysis) → xlsx (create model) →
pptx (create presentation)
