## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# officecli

AI-friendly CLI for .docx, .xlsx, .pptx. Single binary, no dependencies, no Office installation needed.

## Usage

`officecli` is a built-in tool. If it's unavailable or not exist, please instruct the user to open the `OfficeCLI` tool in the chat window.
The tool allows you to call `officecli` directly without having to install or locate the executable.
For any of the commands in the following instructions, do not use any other tools; you MUST use the exact tool and pass the `commandLine` parameter to execute them.

## Strategy

**L1 (read) → L2 (DOM edit) → L3 (raw XML)**. Always prefer higher layers. Add `--json` for structured output.

**Before doc work, check Specialized Skills** (bottom of this file). Fundraising decks, academic papers, financial models, dashboards, and Morph animations need their own skill loaded first, `load_skill` once, then proceed.

---

## Help System (IMPORTANT)

**When unsure about property names, value formats, or command syntax, ALWAYS run help instead of guessing.** One help query beats guess-fail-retry loops.

`officecli help` ≡ `officecli --help`, and `officecli <cmd> --help` ≡ `officecli help <cmd>`, same content.

```bash
officecli help                       # All commands + global options + schema entry points
officecli help docx                  # List all docx elements
officecli help docx paragraph        # Full schema: properties, aliases, examples, readbacks
officecli help docx set paragraph    # Verb-filtered: only props usable with `set`
officecli help docx paragraph --json # Structured schema (machine-readable)
```

Format aliases: `word`→`docx`, `excel`→`xlsx`, `ppt`/`powerpoint`→`pptx`. Verbs: `add`, `set`, `get`, `query`, `remove`. MCP exposes the same schema via the single `command` string param: `{"command":"help docx paragraph"}` (not a structured `{"format":...,"type":...}` object, the MCP tool has exactly one param, `command`, and passes it through to the CLI verbatim).
