Create, analyze, proofread, and modify Office documents (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx) using the officecli CLI tool. Use when the user wants to create, inspect, check formatting, find issues, add charts, or modify Office documents.
3D Morph PPT — extends morph-ppt with GLB model insertion, cinematographic camera, model-content layout, and enriched visual design system.
Use this skill when the user wants a .pptx with smooth cross-slide animation — PowerPoint Morph transitions, Keynote-style continuous motion, shapes that grow / move / rotate as the slide advances. Trigger on: 'morph', 'morph transition', 'smooth transition', 'continuous animation across slides', 'Keynote-style transition', 'animated slide sequence', 'shape continuity across slides'. Output is a single .pptx. This skill is a scene layer on top of officecli-pptx — inherits every pptx v2 rule (visual floor, grid, palettes, connector canon, Delivery Gate 1–5a). DO NOT invoke for a generic deck, pitch deck, or board review without cross-slide motion — route those to officecli-pptx base or officecli-pitch-deck.
Use this skill to build academic-style .docx output: journal / conference / thesis chapters carrying formal citation style (APA, Chicago, IEEE, MLA), numbered equations, figure & table cross-references, footnotes/endnotes, bibliography, or multi-column journal layout. Trigger on: 'research paper', 'journal paper', 'conference paper', 'manuscript', 'thesis', 'APA', 'MLA', 'Chicago', 'IEEE two-column', 'bibliography', 'hanging indent', 'citation style', 'abstract + keywords', 'equation numbering', 'cross-reference', paper with footnotes/endnotes. Output is a single .docx.
Use this skill to build a multi-element Excel dashboard — Dashboard sheet on open, multiple formula-driven KPI cards, multiple charts, sparklines, and conditional formatting — from CSV or tabular input. Trigger on: 'dashboard', 'KPI dashboard', 'analytics dashboard', 'executive dashboard', 'metrics dashboard', 'CSV to dashboard', 'data visualization'. Output is a single .xlsx. Scene-layer on officecli-xlsx: inherits every xlsx hard rule. DO NOT invoke for: a single budget tracker / one-sheet CSV-with-formatting (use xlsx), a 3-statement / DCF / LBO financial model (use financial-model), a weekly report with ≤ 1 chart and < 10 rows (use xlsx).
Use this skill any time a .docx file is involved -- as input, output, or both. This includes: creating Word documents, reports, letters, memos, or proposals; reading, parsing, or extracting text from any .docx file; editing, modifying, or updating existing documents; working with templates, tracked changes, comments, headers/footers, or tables of contents. Trigger whenever the user mentions 'Word doc', 'document', 'report', 'letter', 'memo', or references a .docx filename.
Use this skill when the user wants to build a financial model — 3-statement model, DCF valuation, LBO, SaaS unit economics, sensitivity / scenario analysis, debt schedule, or fundraising projections — in Excel. Trigger on: 'financial model', '3-statement model', 'P&L + BS + CF', 'DCF', 'WACC', 'NPV', 'terminal value', 'LBO', 'debt schedule', 'cash sweep', 'MOIC', 'IRR / XIRR', 'sensitivity table', 'scenario analysis', 'ARR model', 'unit economics', 'CAC / LTV', 'cap table forecast'. Output is a single formula-driven .xlsx. This skill is a scene layer on top of officecli-xlsx — it inherits every xlsx v2 rule (4-color code, visual floor, number formats, cache-drift, Known Issues, Delivery Gate minimum cycle). DO NOT invoke for a simple budget tracker, CSV dump, or operational KPI sheet — route those to officecli-xlsx base.
Use this skill when the user is building a fundraising / investor pitch deck — seed, Series A / B / C, convertible note, SAFE round, strategic raise. Trigger on: 'pitch deck', 'investor deck', 'Series A deck', 'Series B deck', 'Series C deck', 'fundraising deck', 'seed pitch', 'VC deck', 'raising capital', 'term sheet presentation'. Output is a single .pptx. This skill is a scene layer on top of officecli-pptx — inherits every pptx v2 rule (visual floor, grid, palettes, connector canon, Delivery Gate). DO NOT invoke for a generic board review, sales deck, all-hands, or product launch — route those to officecli-pptx base.
Use this skill any time a .pptx file is involved -- as input, output, or both. This includes: creating slide decks, pitch decks, or presentations; reading, parsing, or extracting text from any .pptx file; editing, modifying, or updating existing presentations; combining or splitting slide files; working with templates, layouts, speaker notes, or comments. Trigger whenever the user mentions 'deck', 'slides', 'presentation', 'pitch', or references a .pptx filename.
Use this skill to create fillable Word forms (.docx) with real Content Controls (SDT) + legacy FormField checkboxes + MERGEFIELD mail-merge placeholders + document protection. Trigger on: 'fillable form', 'form fields', 'content controls', 'SDT', 'word form', 'fill in', 'only editable fields', 'protect document', 'onboarding form', 'HR intake', 'survey template', 'contract / SOW template', 'mail-merge template', 'compliance checklist', 'medical intake questionnaire'. Output is a single .docx where specific fields are editable and the rest is locked. This skill is INDEPENDENT, not a scene layer on docx — payload is `<w:sdt>` + `<w:ffData>` + `<w:fldChar>` + `documentProtection`, none of which docx base skill covers. Do NOT trigger for regular reports, letters, memos, academic papers, pitch decks, or any document with no user-fillable fields — route those to officecli-docx or its scene layers.
Use this skill any time a .xlsx file is involved -- as input, output, or both. This includes: creating spreadsheets, financial models, dashboards, or trackers; reading, parsing, or extracting data from any .xlsx file; editing, modifying, or updating existing workbooks; working with formulas, charts, pivot tables, or templates; importing CSV/TSV data into Excel format. Trigger whenever the user mentions 'spreadsheet', 'workbook', 'Excel', 'financial model', 'tracker', 'dashboard', or references a .xlsx/.csv filename.
Subagents overview
# OfficeCLI
> **OfficeCLI is the world's first and the best Office suite designed for AI agents.**
**Give any AI agent full control over Word, Excel, and PowerPoint — in one line of code.**
Open-source. Single binary. No Office installation. No dependencies. Works everywhere.
**OfficeCLI's built-in HTML rendering engine reproduces documents with high fidelity — and that's what gives AI eyes.** It renders `.docx` / `.xlsx` / `.pptx` to HTML or PNG, closing the *render → look → fix* loop.

## For AI Agents — Get Started in One Line
Paste this into your AI agent's chat — it will read the skill file and install everything automatically:
```
curl -fsSL https://officecli.ai/SKILL.md
```
That's it. The skill file teaches the agent how to install the binary and use all commands.
## For Humans
**Option A — GUI:** Install [**AionUi**](https://github.com/iOfficeAI/AionUi) — a desktop app that lets you create and edit Office documents through natural language, powered by OfficeCLI under the hood. Just describe what you want, and AionUi handles the rest.
**Option B — CLI:** Download the binary for your platform from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI/releases), then run:
```bash
officecli install
```
This copies the binary to your PATH and installs the **officecli skill** into every AI coding agent it detects — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, and more. Your agent can immediately create, read, and edit Office documents on your behalf, no extra configuration needed.
## For Developers — See It Live in 30 Seconds
```bash
# 1. Install (macOS / Linux) — or: brew install officecli / npm install -g @officecli/officecli
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI/main/install.sh | bash
# Windows (PowerShell): irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI/main/install.ps1 | iex
# 2. Create a blank PowerPoint
officecli create deck.pptx
# 3. Start live preview — opens http://localhost:26315 in your browser
officecli watch deck.pptx
# 4. Open another terminal, add a slide — watch the browser update instantly
officecli add deck.pptx / --type slide --prop title="Hello, World!"
```
That's it. Every `add`, `set`, or `remove` command you run will refresh the preview in real time. Keep experimenting — the browser is your live feedback loop.
## Quick Start
```bash
# Create a presentation and add content
officecli create deck.pptx
officecli add deck.pptx / --type slide --prop title="Q4 Report" --prop background=1A1A2E
officecli add deck.pptx '/slide[1]' --type shape \
--prop text="Revenue grew 25%" --prop x=2cm --prop y=5cm \
--prop font=Arial --prop size=24 --prop color=FFFFFF
# View as outline
officecli view deck.pptx outline
# → Slide 1: Q4 Report
# → Shape 1 [TextBox]: Revenue grew 25%
# View as HTML — opens a rendered preview in your browser, no server needed
officecli view deck.pptx html
# Get structured JSON for any element
officecli get deck.pptx '/slide[1]/shape[1]' --json
# Save and close — flushes the resident session to disk
officecli close deck.pptx
```
```json
{
"tag": "shape",
"path": "/slide[1]/shape[1]",
"attributes": {
"name": "TextBox 1",
"text": "Revenue grew 25%",
"x": "720000",
"y": "1800000"
}
}
```
## Why OfficeCLI?
What used to take 50 lines of Python and 3 separate libraries:
```python
from pptx import Presentation
from pptx.util import Inches, Pt
prs = Presentation()
slide = prs.slides.add_slide(prs.slide_layouts[0])
title = slide.shapes.title
title.text = "Q4 Report"
# ... 45 more lines ...
prs.save('deck.pptx')
```
Now takes one command:
```bash
officecli add deck.pptx / --type slide --prop title="Q4 Report"
```
**What OfficeCLI can do:**
- **Create** documents from scratch -- blank or with content
- **Read** text, structure, styles, formulas -- in plain text or structured JSON
- **Analyze** formatting issues, style inconsistencies, and structural problems
- **Modify** any element -- text, fonts, colors, layout, formulas, charts, images
- **Reorganize** content -- add, remove, move, copy elements across documents
