# OfficeCLI DOCX Skill ## 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 good docx looks like, not every command flag. When a property name, enum value, or alias is uncertain, consult help BEFORE guessing.** ```bash officecli help docx # List all docx elements officecli help docx <element> # Full element schema (e.g. paragraph, field, numbering, watermark, toc) officecli help docx <verb> <element> # Verb-scoped (e.g. add field, set section) officecli help docx <element> --json # Machine-readable schema ``` Help is pinned to the installed CLI version. When this skill and help disagree, **help is authoritative**. ## Mental Model A `.docx` is a ZIP of XML parts (`document.xml`, `styles.xml`, `numbering.xml`, `header*.xml`, `footer*.xml`, `comments.xml`, …). Everything the user sees — headings, tables, page numbers, TOC, tracked changes

About this skill
What does the officecli-docx skill do?

Use this skill any time a .docx file is involved -- as input, output, or both. This includes: creating Word documents, reports, letters, memos, or proposals; reading, parsing, or extracting text from any .docx file; editing, modifying, or updating existing documents; working with templates, tracked changes, comments, headers/footers, or tables of contents. Trigger whenever the user mentions 'Word doc', 'document', 'report', 'letter', 'memo', or references a .docx filename.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI --skill officecli-docx --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

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.
