Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by cxcscmu on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Docx Pptx Extraction AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/cxcscmu/SkillLearnBench/tree/main/skills/b1-one-shot-claude-haiku-4-5/organize-messy-files/docx-pptx-extraction
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/cxcscmu/SkillLearnBench.git /tmp/SkillLearnBench
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/SkillLearnBench/skills/b1-one-shot-claude-haiku-4-5/organize-messy-files/docx-pptx-extraction .claude/skills/docx-pptx-extraction

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Docx Pptx Extraction in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Docx Pptx Extraction on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Docx Pptx Extraction is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

DOCX and PPTX Text Extraction

Overview

Extract text content from Microsoft Office files (.docx, .pptx) for subject classification.

Installation

bash
pip install python-docx python-pptx

DOCX Extraction

python
from docx import Document

def extract_docx_text(docx_path, max_chars=5000):
    """Extract text from DOCX files"""
    try:
        doc = Document(docx_path)
        text = ""
        for para in doc.paragraphs:
            text += para.text + "\n"
            if len(text) > max_chars:
                break
        return text[:max_chars]
    except Exception as e:
        return f"Error reading DOCX: {str(e)}"

PPTX Extraction

python
from pptx import Presentation

def extract_pptx_text(pptx_path, max_chars=5000):
    """Extract text from PPTX files"""
    try:
        prs = Presentation(pptx_path)
        text = ""
        for slide_num, slide in enumerate(prs.slides):
            if slide_num >= 5:  # First 5 slides
                break
            for shape in slide.shapes:
                if hasattr(shape, "text"):
                    text += shape.text + "\n"
                    if len(text) > max_chars:
                        return text[:max_chars]
        return text[:max_chars]
    except Exception as e:
        return f"Error reading PPTX: {str(e)}"

Combined Handler

python
def extract_text_by_type(file_path):
    """Route to appropriate extraction method based on file extension"""
    ext = file_path.lower().split('.')[-1]

    if ext == 'pdf':
        return extract_pdf_text(file_path)
    elif ext == 'docx':
        return extract_docx_text(file_path)
    elif ext == 'pptx':
        return extract_pptx_text(file_path)
    else:
        return ""

Best Practices

Extract from first 3-5 pages/slides only
Handle missing text shapes gracefully
Use consistent character limits across all file types

Frequently asked questions

What does the Docx Pptx Extraction AI skill do?

Extract text from DOCX and PPTX files for content analysis

Why use Docx Pptx Extraction on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Docx Pptx Extraction is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Docx Pptx Extraction in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/cxcscmu/SkillLearnBench/tree/main/skills/b1-one-shot-claude-haiku-4-5/organize-messy-files/docx-pptx-extraction. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Docx Pptx Extraction?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Docx Pptx Extraction?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Docx Pptx Extraction with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Docx Pptx Extraction AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by cxcscmu under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
