What problem does it solve?
Turning a well-designed Word document, PowerPoint deck, or Excel workbook into a reusable template normally requires manual copying and reformatting every time. This Skill converts a single Office reference file into a persistent personal artifact-template skill, keeping the original file so future documents can clone its layout and formatting precisely.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Template Creation: Convert a DOCX, PPTX, or XLSX reference into a reusable
artifact-template-* skill stored under ~/.open-cowork/skills, complete with preview image and retained source file.
- Template Updates: Explicitly update an existing personal artifact template's reference, preview, title, or description while preserving everything else, using atomic replacement with rollback.
- Preview Verification: Renders the first page, slide, or sheet to a PNG and validates it before packaging, so broken or blank templates are never saved.
- Use Case: You have a polished quarterly report DOCX. Invoke the skill to turn it into a personal template, then later ask the agent to generate new quarterly reports that reuse its exact styles, headers, and layout.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to create a personal template from your attached Word document, PowerPoint presentation, or Excel workbook using the template-creator skill.
