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.

How to install OfficeCLI

git clone https://github.com/heshengtao/super-agent-party.git
cd super-agent-party
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/officeCLI ~/.claude/skills/officecli

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger OfficeCLI

  • /officecli CLI-driven create/inspect/edit for .docx/.xlsx/.pptx, no Office install needed

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Create a Word document from the command line without opening Office
  • Add a chart to this Excel file using officecli
  • Inspect formatting issues in this PowerPoint file via CLI

Frequently asked questions

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.
