officecli-academic-paper
Use this skill to build academic-style .docx output: journal / conference / thesis chapters carrying formal citation style (APA, Chicago, IEEE, MLA), numbered equations, figure & table cross-references, footnotes/endnotes, bibliography, or multi-column journal layout. Trigger on: 'research paper', 'journal paper', 'conference paper', 'manuscript', 'thesis', 'APA', 'MLA', 'Chicago', 'IEEE two-column', 'bibliography', 'hanging indent', 'citation style', 'abstract + keywords', 'equation numbering', 'cross-reference', paper with footnotes/endnotes. Output is a single .docx.
npx skills add iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI --skill officecli-academic-paper --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# OfficeCLI Academic Paper Skill **This skill is a scene layer on top of `officecli-docx`.** Every docx hard rule — style architecture, heading hierarchy, shell quoting, page-break rules, live PAGE field, Delivery Gate, renderer quirks — is inherited, not re-taught. This file adds only what academic papers need on top: citation styles, equations, SEQ / PAGEREF cross-refs, multi-column journal layout, bibliography hanging indent, abstract/keywords/affiliation block. When the docx base rules cover it, the text here says `→ see docx v2 §X`. Read docx v2 first if you have not. ## Setup If `officecli` is missing: - **macOS / Linux**: `curl -fsSL https://d.officecli.ai/install.sh | bash` - **Windows (PowerShell)**: `irm https://d.officecli.ai/install.ps1 | iex` Verify with `officecli --version` (open a new terminal if PATH hasn't picked up). If install fails, download a binary from https://github.com/iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI/releases. ## ⚠️ Help-First Rule **This skill teaches what an academic paper requires, not every command flag.** When a prop name, enum value, or field instruction is uncertain, consult help BEFORE guessing. ```bash officecli help docx # All docx elements officecli help do

Where does this skill come from?
From iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI, a repository with 25,311 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
