officecli

Use the optional iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI engine for advanced inspection, validation, copy-on-write editing, template merge, or visual rendering of existing .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx files. Prefer MateClaw's built-in renderDocx/renderXlsx/renderPptx tools for simple new documents. Use this skill when preserving an existing template, modifying complex Office structure, checking formatting issues, validating OpenXML, or rendering a document for visual QA. This integration targets https://github.com/iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI, not the unrelated prompt-generation project with the same name.

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 mateaix on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Officecli 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/mateaix/mateclaw/tree/dev/mateclaw-server/src/main/resources/skills/officecli
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/mateaix/mateclaw.git /tmp/mateclaw
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/mateclaw/mateclaw-server/src/main/resources/skills/officecli .claude/skills/officecli

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Officecli 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 Officecli 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 Officecli 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.

OfficeCLI advanced Office operations

This skill supplements MateClaw's native Office renderers. It never replaces them.

Routing

User intent	Use
Create a simple new document from Markdown	`renderDocx`, `renderXlsx`, or `renderPptx`
Inspect an existing Office file	`office_document(action="inspect")`
Validate OpenXML structure	`office_document(action="validate")`
Apply several structured changes	`office_document(action="batch")`
Fill an existing template's placeholders	`office_document(action="merge")`
Render for visual QA	`office_document(action="render")`

Safety contract

batch and merge operate on a private copy and never overwrite the source.
The tool only accepts .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx inputs inside the active workspace or current chat uploads.
Do not install OfficeCLI from inside a chat. If the dependency is missing, explain that an administrator must install it on the MateClaw server.
Do not fall back to arbitrary shell commands when office_document rejects an action.
Return the generated markdown link verbatim so the user can download and preview the result.

Operations

Inspect

Use one of outline, stats, issues, text, or annotated:

text
office_document(action="inspect", filePath="report.docx", mode="issues")

Validate

text
office_document(action="validate", filePath="workbook.xlsx")

Batch edit

payload must be a non-empty OfficeCLI batch JSON array. Prefer stable element IDs returned by inspection over positional paths when available.

text
office_document(
  action="batch",
  filePath="deck.pptx",
  payload="[{\"command\":\"set\",\"path\":\"/slide[1]/shape[@id=42]\",\"props\":{\"text\":\"Updated\"}}]",
  outputFilename="deck-updated.pptx"
)

Template merge

payload must be a non-empty JSON object:

text
office_document(
  action="merge",
  filePath="invoice-template.docx",
  payload="{\"client\":\"Acme\",\"total\":\"$5,200\"}",
  outputFilename="invoice-acme.docx"
)

Render

Use html, screenshot, svg, or pdf. Prefer screenshot for visual QA.

text
office_document(action="render", filePath="deck.pptx", mode="screenshot")

After rendering, inspect the returned preview before claiming that layout or formatting is correct.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Officecli AI skill do?

Why use Officecli on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Officecli 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 Officecli in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/mateaix/mateclaw/tree/dev/mateclaw-server/src/main/resources/skills/officecli. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Officecli?

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 Officecli?

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

Is the Officecli AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by mateaix under the Apache-2.0 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.
