Your agent can’t can edit Office documents.

The skills

• .pdf

  Read, build, and fill. Extract text and tables, merge and split, create from scratch, OCR scanned pages, and fill forms two ways: native form fields, or drawn annotations validated against a rendered image.

• .docx

  Write and redline. Create documents from JavaScript, edit the raw OOXML, add comments, and produce genuine tracked changes for legal and academic review.

• .pptx

  Design and rearrange. Build decks from HTML with pixel-accurate positioning, reorder and edit existing slides, and render thumbnails so the agent can check its own work.

• .xlsx

  Model and recalculate. Create and edit spreadsheets while preserving formulas, then recalculate through headless LibreOffice and get back every #REF! and #DIV/0! by cell address.

Setup

1. Install the system tools. One command on macOS, and it respects what you already have: uv and node are skipped when they are on your PATH.

   $ brew bundle # poppler, pandoc, LibreOffice

2. Install the skills. As a Claude Code plugin with the two commands above, or symlinked into any agent’s skills directory:

   $ git clone https://github.com/appautomaton/document-SKILLs.git
   $ ln -s "$(pwd)/document-SKILLs/pdf" ~/.codex/skills/pdf

3. That’s it. Ask your agent to fill in a form, redline a contract, or audit a financial model. Python dependencies resolve on first run, no pip and no virtualenvs.
