Israeli skills for the Claude Desktop app — no coding required

Security-vetted
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.

FAQ
What's the difference between Claude Desktop and Claude.ai?
Claude Desktop is a locally-installed app that can access your local files (with your permission), connect to local MCP servers, and launch via a keyboard shortcut. Claude.ai runs in the browser and doesn't touch your local filesystem. Skills in our format work identically in both.
Do I need a paid plan?
Not required. Since February 2026 the Skills feature is available on the free plan too, not only on Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise. Paid plans mainly differ in monthly conversation quota and access to stronger models, not in whether skills work at all.
What can the app see on my computer?
By default — nothing. Access to files, terminal, or other apps is granted only when you explicitly authorize it, action by action. The skill itself runs inside the conversation and doesn't reach into your filesystem directly.
