What problem does it solve?
Manual editing of .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx is slow and error-prone when you need repeatable changes, validation, and inspection without installing Office. This Skill streamlines document engineering by letting you create, inspect, fix, and update Office files programmatically from the command line.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Create and inspect Office files: generate new .docx/.xlsx/.pptx, view structure/stats/issues/text, and extract XML nodes for auditing.
- Safe, targeted modifications: update attributes and formatting at DOM-like paths, including regex-based find/replace with run splitting and property-level control.
- Bulk and resident workflows: run batch operations in one save cycle and use resident mode (open/close) for multi-step edits on large documents.
- PPTX/Word/Excel coverage: supports CSS-like querying and selector-based targeting; includes interactive visual selection via watch for PPT and top-level Word elements.
Quick Start
Ask your AI to generate a cleaned, formatted document by running the officecli command to create and then update an Office file, for example: "Create report.docx, find TODO markers across the body, replace them with DONE, and verify issues with the issues view."
