Office Documents

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user asks to open
• Extract tables/text from
• Convert information from PDF
• Including when they mention Word

Example prompts

• “/office-documents”

Requirements

• Python 3
• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Uses bundled Python scripts. Optional libraries improve coverage: markitdown, python-docx, openpyxl, python-pptx, pdfplumber, pypdf. No OfficeCLI, Microsoft Office, LibreOffice, or GUI viewer is required.

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Identify the file type from the extension and the user's requested outcome.
2. 2Read first, edit second. Always inspect the source file before modifying it.
3. 3For reading, run scripts/read_document.py.
4. 4For edits, write a small JSON operations file and run the matching edit script.
5. 5Save edits to a new output file unless the user explicitly asks to overwrite.
6. 6Read the output file again with scripts/read_document.py and verify the requested change.
7. 7If the requested operation is outside the supported surface, say so clearly and stop.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 49ec8dc. 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

  Ships 6 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • python3

  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.

• Compatibility

  Uses bundled Python scripts. Optional libraries improve coverage: markitdown, python-docx, openpyxl, python-pptx, pdfplumber, pypdf. No OfficeCLI, Microsoft Office, LibreOffice, or GUI viewer is required.

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Office Documents loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 502 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~96

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.6k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~3.2k

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

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
