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.

Author: yaniv-golanComprehensive 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.
