Anthropic launches Agent Skills: composable, portable capability packages for Claude
Anthropic introduced Agent Skills, a system allowing users and developers to package instructions, scripts, and resources into reusable folders that Claude loads contextually when relevant to a task. Skills are composable, portable across Claude apps, Claude Code, and the API, and can include executable code for tasks where deterministic programming outperforms token generation. The feature is available to Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users, with an API endpoint for programmatic management, and has been published as an open standard for cross-platform portability. Partner integrations with Box, Canva, and Notion are already live, and an open GitHub marketplace exists for community-built skills.
Anthropic Launches Claude for Life Sciences with New Connectors, Agent Skills, and Benchmark Improvements

Claude Sonnet 4.5 achieves 0.83 on the Protocol QA benchmark (above the human baseline of 0.79) and shows improvements on BioRench bioinformatics evaluations. The launch includes new connectors to platforms such as Benchling, BioRender, PubMed, Synapse.org, and 10x Genomics, plus a new Agent Skills framework starting with a single-cell RNA QC skill. Anthropic is partnering with major consultancies (Deloitte, Accenture, KPMG, PwC) and cloud providers (AWS, Google Cloud), with Sanofi cited as a flagship enterprise customer.

The updates build on Claude Sonnet 4.5's performance on the Finance Agent benchmark from Vals AI, where it scored 55.3% accuracy. Claude for Excel allows users to read, analyze, modify, and create Excel workbooks directly from a sidebar, with transparency into cell-level changes. These features are rolling out in preview to Max, Enterprise, and Teams users, with Citi cited as a notable enterprise adopter.
