What it does

Skill Doc Delivery is an agent skill from nyldn/claude-octopus. Convert markdown to DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, PDF office documents — use when you need exportable deliverables

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering PowerPoint presentations, Word documents and Excel spreadsheets. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. The repository describes itself as: Run multiple AI models against the same research, design, or coding task. Surface disagreements before you ship. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • You need exportable deliverables
  • Tasks that involve PowerPoint presentations
  • Tasks that involve Word documents

Example prompts

  • “/skill-doc-delivery”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Locate Source Markdown
  2. Choose Format Based on Purpose
  3. Use Document-Skills Plugin
  4. Apply Professional Styling

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e14b84f. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash and markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Skill Doc Delivery loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 668 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k

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.

Host: Codex CLI — This skill was designed for Claude Code and adapted for Codex. Cross-reference commands use installed skill names in Codex rather than /octo:* slash commands. Use the active Codex shell and subagent tools. Do not claim a provider, model, or host subagent is available until the current session exposes it. For host tool equivalents, see skills/blocks/codex-host-adapter.md.

Document Delivery for Knowledge Workers

Convert knowledge work outputs from markdown to professional office documents (DOCX, PPTX, XLSX).

Overview

This skill helps you transform knowledge work results into polished, deliverable documents:

  • After empathize → Export personas to PPTX decks or requirements to DOCX specs
  • After advise → Convert strategic analysis to PPTX presentations or DOCX business cases
  • After synthesize → Generate literature reviews as DOCX academic format or PDF

Prerequisites Check

Before converting documents, verify the document-skills plugin is installed:

bash
/plugin list | grep document-skills

If not installed:

bash
/plugin install document-skills@anthropic-agent-skills

Format Recommendations by Workflow

Empathize Workflow → UX Research Outputs

Best for PPTX (PowerPoint):

  • Persona decks for stakeholder presentations
  • Journey map visualizations
  • Research synthesis highlights
  • Executive summaries

Best for DOCX (Word):

  • Detailed persona documentation
  • Research requirements specifications
  • Interview transcripts and analysis
  • User story documentation
Advise Workflow → Strategic Analysis

Best for PPTX (PowerPoint):

  • Strategy presentations for leadership
  • Market analysis decks
  • Competitive intelligence briefs
  • Business case pitch decks
  • Board presentations

Best for DOCX (Word):

  • Comprehensive business cases
  • Strategic recommendations reports
  • Market research documentation
  • Financial analysis reports
Synthesize Workflow → Research Synthesis

Best for DOCX (Word):

  • Literature review papers
  • Research synthesis reports
  • Academic research documentation
  • Annotated bibliographies
  • Technical white papers

Best for PDF:

  • Final publications
  • Archival versions
  • Shareable research reports

Conversion Guidelines

Step 1: Locate Source Markdown

Knowledge work outputs are stored in:

bash
~/.claude-octopus/results/

List recent outputs:

bash
ls -lht ~/.claude-octopus/results/ | head -10
Step 2: Choose Format Based on Purpose

Ask yourself:

  • Presenting to stakeholders? → PPTX (visual, concise)
  • Comprehensive documentation? → DOCX (detailed, structured)
  • Final publication? → PDF (archival, unchangeable)
  • Data/frameworks? → XLSX (tables, calculations)
Step 3: Use Document-Skills Plugin

The document-skills plugin provides these capabilities:

For DOCX (Word):

Use the /document-skills:docx skill to convert markdown to Word format.
Supports headings, lists, tables, and formatting.

For PPTX (PowerPoint):

Use the /document-skills:pptx skill to convert markdown to PowerPoint.
Each ## heading becomes a slide, bullet points auto-format.

For PDF:

Use the /document-skills:pdf skill to generate PDF documents.
Ideal for final deliverables and archival.
Step 4: Apply Professional Styling

After conversion, consider:

  • Consistent formatting - Use heading styles, bullet hierarchies
  • Visual hierarchy - Important points first, details later
  • Brand alignment - Add logos, colors, fonts if needed
  • Readability - Break up long paragraphs, use white space

Common Conversion Patterns

Pattern 1: Single Workflow → Single Document

User ran one workflow, wants one document:

User: "Export my latest synthesis to a Word document"

1. Check ~/.claude-octopus/results/ for most recent .md file
2. Identify it's from synthesize workflow
3. Recommend DOCX for academic report format
4. Use document-skills:docx to convert
5. Save to appropriate location
Pattern 2: Multiple Sections → Presentation

User wants to create a deck from research:

User: "Create a PowerPoint from this research"

1. Locate the research markdown
2. Identify key sections (## headings)
3. Use document-skills:pptx to convert
4. Each ## heading becomes a slide
5. Recommend adding title slide and summary
Pattern 3: Batch Conversion

User wants multiple formats:

User: "Create both a Word doc and PowerPoint from this strategy"

1. Locate source markdown
2. Convert to DOCX using document-skills:docx
3. Convert to PPTX using document-skills:pptx
4. Provide both file paths

Handling Edge Cases

No Recent Workflow Output

If user requests export but no workflow was run:

Response: "I don't see any recent knowledge work outputs. Would you like to run:
- /octo:empathize (UX research)
- /octo:advise (strategic analysis)
- /octo:synthesize (literature review)

Then I can convert the results to your preferred format."
Format Not Specified

If user doesn't specify format:

Response: "I can convert this to:
- DOCX (Word) - Best for detailed documentation
- PPTX (PowerPoint) - Best for presentations
- PDF - Best for final deliverables

Which format would you prefer based on your use case?"
Multiple Markdown Files

If multiple outputs exist:

Response: "I found several knowledge work outputs:
1. empathize-personas-2026-01-15.md (3 days ago)
2. advise-market-analysis-2026-01-18.md (today)
3. synthesize-research-2026-01-10.md (8 days ago)

Which would you like to convert?"
Document-Skills Not Installed

If plugin missing:

Response: "The document-skills plugin is required for conversion.
Install it with:

/plugin install document-skills@anthropic-agent-skills

Then I can convert your knowledge work to office formats."

Integration with Knowledge Mode

This skill is designed to work seamlessly with the three knowledge mode workflows:

Knowledge Work Flow:
1. Run workflow: /octo:empathize (or advise/synthesize)
2. Review markdown output in ~/.claude-octopus/results/
3. Request conversion: "Export to PowerPoint"
4. This skill is used after explicit invocation
5. Professional document delivered

Best Practices

  1. Review Before Converting - Check markdown quality first
  2. Choose Right Format - Match format to audience and purpose
  3. Add Context - Include dates, authors, version numbers
  4. Test Compatibility - Ensure recipients can open the format
  5. Archive Sources - Keep original markdown files
  6. Version Control - Use descriptive filenames with dates

Quick Reference Commands

bash
# List recent knowledge work outputs
ls -lht ~/.claude-octopus/results/ | head -5

# Check document-skills installed
/plugin list | grep document-skills

# Install document-skills
/plugin install document-skills@anthropic-agent-skills

# View specific markdown
cat ~/.claude-octopus/results/[filename].md
