Claude, Anthropic PDF skill, pdfplumber, Tesseract
An indie hacker packaged an agency's eight repeated workflows (briefs, client approval with revision counters, quotes with margin checks, content calendars, post-mortems) as free MIT Claude skills.
The Academy example combines Claude's document and image understanding with coding to generate a portfolio page reflecting supplied professional material and visual preferences.
Anthropic's recipe has Claude find themes across Intercom, survey CSVs, and interview PDFs, then create an auditable Excel workbook with classifications, trends, quotations, and feature requests.
