What it does

Officecli is an agent skill from grandamenium/cortextos. Create, read, and edit Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), and PowerPoint (.pptx) files. Use when a task requires generating a report, analysis spreadsheet, or presentation. No Office installation needed — single binary, works offline.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations and Word documents. It works with Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Word. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

A task requires generating a report
Analysis spreadsheet

Example prompts

“/officecli”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6f93838. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- curl
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Officecli loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 236 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Path addressing uses 1-based indexing: /body/p[1], /slide[2]/shape[3], /$Sheet:A1

Word (.docx) Patterns

Monthly Owner Report

bash

# Create and populate
officecli create ~/reports/owner-report-$(date +%Y-%m).docx
DOC=~/reports/owner-report-$(date +%Y-%m).docx

# Title
officecli add $DOC /body --type paragraph \
  --prop text="AscendOps Monthly Report — $(date +%B\ %Y)" \
  --prop style=Heading1

# Sections
officecli add $DOC /body --type paragraph \
  --prop text="Maintenance Summary" --prop style=Heading2
officecli add $DOC /body --type paragraph \
  --prop text="Open work orders: N. Completed this month: N. Avg close time: X days."

# Table for key metrics
officecli add $DOC /body --type table \
  --prop rows=4 --prop cols=3 \
  --prop header="Category,Count,Avg Days"

Template Merge (variable substitution)

bash

officecli merge template.docx output.docx '{
  "owner_name": "John Smith",
  "property": "123 Main St",
  "month": "April 2026",
  "open_orders": "3",
  "completed": "12"
}'

Excel (.xlsx) Patterns

Work Order Analysis

bash

officecli create ~/reports/work-orders.xlsx
XLS=~/reports/work-orders.xlsx

# Add a sheet with data from CSV
officecli add $XLS / --type sheet \
  --prop name="April WOs" \
  --prop csv=/path/to/work_orders.csv

# Add a summary formula
officecli add $XLS / --type sheet --prop name="Summary"
officecli set $XLS 'Summary!A1' --prop value="Total Open"
officecli set $XLS 'Summary!B1' --prop formula="=COUNTIF('April WOs'!D:D,\"Open\")"

Set cell values and formulas

bash

# Set a specific cell
officecli set report.xlsx 'Sheet1!A1' --prop value="Property"
officecli set report.xlsx 'Sheet1!B1' --prop value="Open WOs"

# Formula
officecli set report.xlsx 'Sheet1!C2' \
  --prop formula="=AVERAGE(B2:B20)" \
  --prop format="0.0"

PowerPoint (.pptx) Patterns

Onboarding / Welcome Deck

bash

officecli create ~/reports/onboarding.pptx
DECK=~/reports/onboarding.pptx

# Title slide
officecli add $DECK / --type slide \
  --prop title="Welcome to AscendOps" \
  --prop background=1A1A2E

# Content slide
officecli add $DECK / --type slide --prop title="Your AI Agent Team"
officecli add $DECK '/slide[2]' --type shape \
  --prop text="• Dane — Orchestrator\n• Blue — PM Specialist\n• Aussie — Analyst\n• Collie — Dev Agent" \
  --prop x=2cm --prop y=4cm --prop font=Arial --prop size=20

# Live preview while building
officecli watch $DECK --port 26315

Reading Documents

bash

# Low-token outline (structure only)
officecli view report.docx outline

# Full text
officecli view report.docx text

# Stats (word count, page count, etc.)
officecli view report.docx stats

# JSON output for programmatic use
officecli get report.docx /body/p[1] --json

Batch Operations (multi-step)

Write a JSON file with operations, run in one call:

json

[
  {"op": "add", "path": "/body", "type": "paragraph", "props": {"text": "Section 1", "style": "Heading2"}},
  {"op": "add", "path": "/body", "type": "paragraph", "props": {"text": "Content here."}},
  {"op": "set", "path": "/body/p[1]/r[1]", "props": {"bold": true}}
]

bash

officecli batch report.docx --input ops.json --force

Tips

Use view outline before editing — cheaper than reading the full document
Use --json when the output will be parsed by code
merge is fastest for templated reports — create the template once, fill it each month
watch is useful when iterating on a presentation — live browser preview
Resident mode (officecli open → edit → officecli close) reduces per-operation latency for many sequential edits

No auth required. File must be accessible (not locked by another process). Supported formats: .docx, .xlsx, .pptx only.
