Execution skill. Use when configuring an application calendar — choosing calendar type, fiscal year, date range, and time dimensions.

Planning skill. Supply chain use cases: demand planning, inventory management, procurement planning, S&OP alignment. Each use case has inline guidance.

Planning skill. Sales performance use cases: quota planning, commission calculations, territory assignment, attainment tracking, pipeline coverage. Each use case has inline guidance.

Planning skill. FP&A use cases: budget/expense planning, revenue forecasting, P&L reporting, multi-currency, financial consolidation. Each use case has inline guidance; load sub-files only for advanced patterns.

Execution skill. Use when sharing metrics or lists between Pigment Applications via Libraries and cross-Application formula references.

Execution skill. Use when investigating slow inputs, slow calculations, or timeouts with the Performance Insights tools (performance_profile_change, performance_profile_change_scope_details, performance_slowest_changes, performance_changes_statistics, get_top_blocks_by_performance). Covers which tool to call, the includeAllExecutions default, reading change profiles (X/Y scope, contention, impacted viewed data), drilling into the scoped dimensions of some executions, locating the bottleneck, and comparing timings before/after a fix. Always profile before formula changes; never optimize from assumptions.

Execution skill. Use when writing PREVIOUS, PREVIOUSOF, or PREVIOUSBASE formulas, configuring iterative calculation cycles, or debugging circular dependency errors.

Execution skill. Use when naming or organizing Pigment Applications, folders, and blocks so models stay navigable, formula-safe, and consistent across teams.

Read first to make, edit, animate or render any video with HyperFrames (HTML rendered to video), including launch films, explainers, music videos, charts, maps, vertical clips, title cards, captions and overlays. Holds the render contract, the work loop and what each kind of video needs.

Get or make any media for a HyperFrames video - music, sound effects, images, icons, logos, voiceover, avatar and generated video, transcripts, cutouts, colour grades and looks - with HeyGen or free local tools, and mix placed audio. Also for footage that looks dark, flat or dull, or should be stylized or hidden.

A relentless interview to sharpen a plan or design, which also creates docs (ADR's and glossary) as we go.

Shared vocabulary for designing deep modules. Use when the user wants to design or improve a module's interface, find deepening opportunities, decide where a seam goes, make code more testable or AI-navigable, or when another skill needs the deep-module vocabulary.

Bring existing video code or footage into HyperFrames and verify it frame by frame against the original - Remotion first, also Motion Canvas, Lottie, Three.js, p5.js, canvas or plain HTML/CSS animation, or renders from Manim, After Effects or Blender. Use to port, convert, migrate or reuse work made with another tool.

Bring Figma into a HyperFrames video - rendered assets, brand tokens, components, storyboard frames as reconstructed motion (frames read as states, not slides), shaders and connector-assisted motion. Use when the person pastes a figma.com link or asks to use a Figma design, frame, logo or brand.

Create beautiful visual art in .png and .pdf documents using design philosophy. You should use this skill when the user asks to create a poster, piece of art, design, or other static piece. Create original visual designs, never copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.

Applies Anthropic's official brand colors and typography to any sort of artifact that may benefit from having Anthropic's look-and-feel. Use it when brand colors or style guidelines, visual formatting, or company design standards apply.
