Turn mathematical or scientific material into complete LaTeX documents, reusable snippets, or Beamer slide decks. After installing the skill, describe the theorem, proof, algorithm, table, or presentation you need, then compile the resulting .tex file in Overleaf or a local TeX distribution. The Claude web route does not require a terminal.

Give Claude a topic, outline, notes, document, or previous PowerPoint and Presentation Forge writes the slides, builds a theme, and bundles the engine, fonts, and images into one offline index.html. Decks include presenter mode, notes, a timer, progressive reveals, and reusable brand styles. Saving edits back from the browser works only for locally opened files in Chromium-based browsers, and building requires Python 3.10 or later.

MarkPDF Skill lets coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot render Markdown as themed PDFs, editable PPTX decks, or styled HTML. It can also create share links protected by an email gate, password, or expiry. Rendering runs through the hosted MarkPDF MCP service, so no local document toolchain is needed, but users must configure a service token and the trial tier limits daily exports.

Upload a PDF, DOCX, or text CV and the Claude Cowork skill produces a single-page LaTeX package with main.tex, company logos, and an Overleaf setup guide. The template avoids letter-spaced section headings to preserve ATS parsing while keeping a distinctive layout and clickable employer links. It requires XeLaTeX; longer resumes and non-Latin scripts may need manual adjustment, and published ATS scores come from one scanner.
