Followed the SKILL.md Quick Start docx example verbatim: officecli creates the file and only prints a warning, but never actually defines 'Heading1' in styles.xml, so the resulting heading renders as plain unstyled text in Word -- a bug a plain python-docx baseline does not have. The view issues / validate commands, however, caught a real missing-indent formatting problem the baseline had no way to detect.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 6/10
- Docs & honesty 3/5
What OfficeCLI does
Wraps the officecli binary (separate iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI tool) to create, inspect, query, and edit Word/Excel/PowerPoint files from the command line via a layered read-DOM-raw XML model. Triggers when the user wants to create an Office document, check formatting/issues in one, add charts or shapes, or modify an existing .docx/.xlsx/.pptx without opening Office.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the OfficeCLI skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from heshengtao/super-agent-party. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does OfficeCLI work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 10, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Followed the SKILL.md Quick Start docx example verbatim: officecli creates the file and only prints a warning, but never actually defines 'Heading1' in styles.xml, so the resulting heading renders as plain unstyled text in Word -- a bug a plain python-docx baseline does not have.

- What is the OfficeCLI SkillProof Score?
- 7.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 6/10, docs & honesty 3/5.
- How do I install OfficeCLI?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use OfficeCLI with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
