Hey,
This month the new skills are all about those moments in life that always catch us unprepared: divorce, losing someone close, a payslip that doesn't add up, and bank fees quietly eating away at your account. Instead of stumbling through the bureaucracy, each skill walks you step by step, tells you what you're owed and which form to file with each office. There's also a new calculator that gives you a number on the spot. Let's go.
New skill: Divorce Navigator
Divorce is one of the most confusing processes there is, and it's usually not even clear where to start. The skill explains it step by step: where to file (rabbinical court vs. family court), why you first have to go through dispute resolution and a MAHUT meeting, how property balancing and the default 50/50 split work, and the difference between spousal maintenance and child support. You get a roadmap, a property-split worksheet, and draft agreement clauses, so you reach your lawyer organized instead of getting lost along the way.
New skill: Consumer Fee Fighter
Many of us pay the bank hundreds of shekels a year in fees, simply because we didn't know there was another way. The skill lays out your rights: there's a supervised basic fee track, you can cancel a credit card or a debit authorization at any time, and there are discounts for seniors, people with disabilities, and small businesses. It prepares a ready-to-send cancellation letter and a negotiation script grounded in Bank of Israel fee rules, so you walk into that call with the bank knowing exactly what to ask for.
New skill: Teacher Payroll
A teacher's payslip reads like a foreign language, because it's built completely differently from a regular one. Everything depends on which reform you're under: Ofek Chadash (kindergartens, elementary, junior-high) or Oz LaTmura (upper-secondary), each with its own work-week, seniority table, and increments. The skill identifies the right reform, breaks down the hours split, adds increments like the training and education gmulim, and shows how gross becomes net. For teachers, kindergarten teachers, and anyone who finally wants to understand what's on their payslip.
Two new skills: what to handle after a death
After a close relative dies, right when it's hardest, a pile of bureaucracy lands on the family. Two new skills sort it out. The first builds a timeline of what to do and in what order, from the first 72 hours to the end of the first year, with a document checklist and ready-to-send account-closure letters. The second gathers every financial entitlement that's due: the Bituach Leumi survivor's allowance, the death grant, a survivor's pension, and insurance payouts, because almost no payment arrives on its own, you have to claim it. There's also a new calculator that estimates the monthly survivor's allowance by age and number of children.
And for investors: cross-exchange arbitrage
And a more focused one, for anyone who invests in stocks: dozens of Israeli companies trade both in Tel Aviv and on Wall Street (Check Point, NICE, CyberArk, Teva, and more), and sometimes the same stock trades at a different price on each exchange. The skill converts using the Bank of Israel representative rate, flags unusual gaps, and shows each pair's gap percentage plus a confidence score based on trading-hours overlap. A neat tool for anyone who likes to see where the market isn't priced right.
Did you know? One skill works across many tools
A skill isn't an add-on for a single tool. The same skill you install once works in Claude, in Cursor, in Gemini CLI, and in other AI agents, because they all read the same open format. You're not locked into any one tool, and you can take the skill with you wherever you go.
And there's a community WhatsApp group
If you'd like to be part of the community, there's an active WhatsApp group where I share new things before anyone else and ask what to build next. It also has a bot that posts a daily and weekly recap, and if you tag it with a question it'll find the right skill from the catalog and answer. No spam, no marketing links.
