Anthropic's document skills aren't open source, unlike its other skills

When redistributing skills from anthropics/skills, check each skill's license rather than the repo as a whole. In this August 2026 scrape, pdf, docx, xlsx, and pptx were marked all rights reserved, while the other official skills were Apache-2.0. Quarantine the proprietary ones and use permissively licensed alternatives. Also dedupe aggressively, because many large skill collections mirror each other and one repo carried 437 duplicate skills in a hidden folder; a 12-repo scrape yielded only about 267 keepers.
