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
Generate 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.
Search Israeli restaurants, check table availability, view menus, and get booking links on Ontopo. Use for "restaurant reservation", "table booking", "ontopo", "where to eat in Israel", "מסעדה", "הזמנת שולחן", "תפריט", "ארוחת ערב", "אונטופו", "איפה לאכול".
Reference 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).
Best practices for programmatic video creation in React with Remotion, including full Hebrew RTL support. Covers animations, compositions, sequencing, transitions, TikTok-style captions with word highlighting, AI voiceover, 3D, charts, Hebrew Google Fonts, and bidirectional text animations. Use when working with Remotion code or creating Hebrew social media videos and marketing content. Do NOT use for non-Remotion video editing or general React development.

Comprehensive guide for working with Pikud HaOref (Israel Home Front Command) alert APIs - the official and community endpoints that publish real-time rocket alerts, earthquake warnings, and other civil defense notifications across Israel. Use this skill whenever someone wants to build an integration with Pikud HaOref alerts, fetch live or historical alert data, set up monitoring or dashboards for Israeli emergency alerts, write code that consumes oref.org.il endpoints, deploy an alert service, or understand the available API landscape. Also trigger when someone mentions "red alert API", "tzeva adom", "oref alerts", "rocket alert Israel", "Home Front Command API", or any Hebrew references like "פיקוד העורף" or "צבע אדום". Even if the user just says "I want to get alerts from Israel" or "build something with Israeli civil defense data", this skill is the right starting point. Do NOT use for US weather alerts (NWS/FEMA), UK emergency alerts, generic webhook/push notification frameworks, or non-Israeli civil defense systems.
Checks Israeli parking and traffic fines through doh.co.il with a Hebrew intake prompt, Rashut mapping, and packaging for Codex, Claude Code, and Skills IL.
Write 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).
