Access and checks

How we review

Extended accessThe tool runs code or makes network calls and only reads external data.

  • Runs the local officecli binary, which creates and edits docx, xlsx and pptx files
  • The install command copies the binary to PATH and adds the skill to every detected agent

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

OfficeCLI gives an agent terminal commands to create, read and edit docx, xlsx and pptx files: adding slides, text, formulas, charts and images, and checking formatting and structure. A built-in rendering engine turns a document into HTML or PNG so the agent can visually inspect the result and fix mismatches. Running officecli install copies the binary into PATH and installs the matching skill into every agent it detects on the machine.

Who it is for. For anyone who wants ready presentations, reports and spreadsheets from an agent without manual work in Office.

Good fit when

  • You want an agent to build a presentation, a Word report or an Excel sheet from a description
  • You need to programmatically check or fix formatting in an existing Office document
  • Office is not installed, but you need to work with docx, xlsx, pptx

Not a fit when

  • You need VBA macros or features specific to real Microsoft Office
  • The document has password protection or DRM that the CLI does not support

Example request

Build a 5-slide deck.pptx from our quarterly report and show me the HTML preview

Limitations

The tool does not fully replace Office: it covers the core elements of docx, xlsx and pptx, not the entire feature set of the real suite. It needs no keys or accounts and runs locally with a single binary.

How to disable. Remove the officecli binary from PATH and delete the officecli skill folder from your agent's skills directory.

FAQ

Do I need Microsoft Office installed?

No, OfficeCLI is a standalone single-file binary that reads and writes docx, xlsx and pptx on its own.

How does the agent check the result?

The officecli view command renders the document to HTML or PNG, which the agent inspects against the task.

README in short

The README presents OfficeCLI as an office suite for AI agents: free, open source, a single binary, no Office installation needed. Running officecli install puts the binary on PATH and adds the officecli skill to every detected agent, including Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf and GitHub Copilot. It also documents a live preview mode via a local server and a render-to-HTML/PNG layer for visual verification. Extra bundled skills like morph-ppt add animated presentation styles. Apache-2.0 licensed.
