Skills for Claude Desktop
Israeli skills for the Claude Desktop app — no coding required
Claude Desktop is Anthropic's official chat app for Mac and Windows. It bundles Claude.ai's capabilities with quick-launch via a global shortcut, native MCP server integrations, and (with permission) access to local files. Our Claude Desktop skills are the same skills that work on claude.ai — same format, same install flow. Download the ZIP from a skill page, upload via Customize > Skills inside the app, then open a chat. In Israel this is the preferred client for users who keep their documents locally and don't want to push everything through a browser.
Top skills
Author: skills-ilReference guide for Israeli daily context: work week (Sunday-Thursday), holidays and observances, business obligation reminders (VAT, Bituach Leumi), local communication norms, and tips for formal Hebrew writing. Use when you need context on the Israeli calendar, professional message drafting conventions, scheduling around Shabbat and holidays, or formal Hebrew email structure. Do NOT use for calendar API integration (use shabbat-aware-scheduler), automated email sending (use gws-hebrew-email-automation), or accounting calculations (use accounting skills).
Author: skills-ilGenerate RTL-first Hebrew presentations with full right-to-left support. Use when you need to create a business presentation, startup pitch deck, quarterly report, or educational slideshow in Hebrew. Produces slides with Hebrew fonts, right-aligned bullets, and bilingual support in a single deck. Prevents hours of manual formatting and RTL issues that other tools fail to solve. Do NOT use for non-Hebrew presentations, video creation, or interactive web slideshows.
Author: skills-ilFull guidance through the Israeli patent process: prior art search on ILPO database, national application filing, PCT international filing via ILPO, fees, and maintenance. Use when you need to check invention novelty, file a patent in Israel, track payment deadlines, or understand pharmaceutical patent term extension (PTE). Saves hours of research and prevents costly filing mistakes. Do NOT use for trademark registration, design patents, or legal advice replacing a licensed patent attorney.
Author: skills-ilWrite Hebrew surveys (NPS, CSAT, CES, event feedback, product discovery, market research) with natural Israeli phrasing and deploy them as live Google Forms via the Google Workspace CLI (gws), or paste the same templates into Typeform, SurveyMonkey, Tally, Microsoft Forms, or email/Slack. Includes Israeli-specific send-time guidance (days, hours, chagim to avoid) and per-survey-type cadence rules. Use when the user asks to run an NPS or CSAT for Israeli customers on any platform, build a Hebrew survey, collect event feedback, interview users in Hebrew, or decide when to send a survey to an Israeli audience. Matters because literal English-to-Hebrew translations plus wrong timing (Friday afternoon, chag weeks) are the biggest causes of low response rates in Israel. Do NOT use for Israeli government forms (see israeli-gov-form-automator).
Author: skills-ilBest practices for programmatic video creation using HyperFrames, plain HTML compositions with GSAP animations rendered to MP4, with full Hebrew and RTL support. Covers composition authoring, data-* timing attributes, GSAP timeline contract, layout-before-animation methodology, visual identity gate, Hebrew fonts via Google Fonts auto-fetch (Heebo, Rubik, Assistant), RTL text with dir="rtl", Hebrew captions via Whisper, Hebrew voiceover via external TTS (Kokoro doesn't support Hebrew), audio-reactive visuals, scene transitions, and bidirectional text with <bdi>. Use when building HTML-based video content or Hebrew social/marketing videos without React. Do NOT use for Remotion or general React video work.
Author: skills-ilEnd-to-end guide for Israelis choosing or living the digital nomad lifestyle abroad while keeping a foothold in Israel. Picks the right destination visa for an Israeli passport (Thailand DTV via Tel Aviv embassy, Spain DNV at 200% SMI, Portugal D8 at €3,680, Estonia Type D, Croatia, Czech Zivno, Mexico Temporal, Costa Rica Rentista, Georgia, UAE) and flags the 2026 Indonesian ban on Israeli applicants for Bali visas. Walks the Israeli tax-residency tests (Form 1348, days test, center-of-life), kupat cholim continuity rules and which travel-vs-nomad insurance actually covers remote work, plus the employment-shape branch — Israeli-payroll employee with a working-from-abroad addendum + Form A1 totalization (only 20 partner countries; the US is NOT one) versus an osek murshe freelancer with foreign clients invoicing under VAT Section 30(a)(5) zero-rate plus W-8BEN with US clients. Covers the annual cycle (Form 1322/1325 with foreign income, Form 5329 foreign-asset disclosure for Wise/Revolut/Payoneer, foreign tax credit) plus the 1 January 2026 abolition of the 10-year reporting exemption, Section 100A exit tax for residency cuts, and the 2026 returnee tax window before the handoff to israeli-relocation-abroad. Use when user asks about digital-nomad visa for Israelis, working from abroad on tlush, foreign client invoicing under Section 30, kupat cholim while abroad, or foreign income reporting. Do NOT use for full permanent relocation (use israeli-relocation-abroad), aliyah to Israel (use israeli-aliyah-navigator), foreign nomads coming to Israel, domestic Israeli nomading, or binding tax/legal advice.
Author: skills-ilIntegrate Pelecard payment processing into Israeli web and mobile apps -- covers iframe payment flow on gateway21.pelecard.biz, ActionType selection (J2/J4/J5/J5h), tashlumim (installments), tokenization, ConfirmationKey server-side validation via PaymentGW/GetTransaction, refunds, 3D Secure 2, Bit wallet, and Apple Pay via ClientSecure.js. Use when user asks to accept payments via Pelecard, set up "slikat ashrai" with Pelecard, validate a Pelecard callback, charge a saved Pelecard token, or mentions "Pelecard", "פלאקארד", "gateway21", "PelecardStatusCode", or "ConfirmationKey". Do NOT use for Cardcom (use cardcom-payment-gateway), Tranzila (use tranzila-payment-gateway), Grow/Meshulam (use grow-payment-gateway), multi-gateway orchestration (use israeli-payment-orchestrator), or invoice generation (use green-invoice).
Author: skills-ilBest practices for authoring presentations with open-slide: the fixed 1920×1080 canvas, the slides/<id>/index.tsx file contract, type scale, DesignSystem tokens, the themes/ system, @slide-comment inspector markers, and Hebrew text rendering with full RTL support. Covers Hebrew Google Fonts (Heebo, Rubik, Assistant, Noto Sans Hebrew), logical CSS properties (paddingInlineStart over paddingLeft), bidirectional Hebrew+English text with <bdi>, Hebrew-aware type scale tuning, and RTL-friendly themes. Use whenever you are writing or editing code under slides/<id>/ in an open-slide project, or building a Hebrew or bilingual deck on the framework. Do NOT use for video creation (use remotion-best-practices or hyperframes-best-practices), or for generic Hebrew presentations outside open-slide (use presentation-generator).
