OfficeCLI is a standalone command-line Office suite that lets AI agents read, edit, render, and automate Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files without requiring Microsoft Office. Developers and other users employ it to create and inspect documents through commands, with HTML or PNG rendering supporting visual review. The catalogue skills teach coding agents how to install and use OfficeCLI.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00106 | $0.12269 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00042 | $0.04908 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00021 | $0.02454 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.01227 |
Grade A, and why
officecli-pptx scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 569 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
OfficeCLI PPTX 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 slides look like, not every command flag. When a property name, enum value, or alias is uncertain, consult help BEFORE guessing.
officecli help pptx # List all pptx elements
officecli help pptx <element> # Full element schema (e.g. shape, chart, animation, connector, zoom, group)
officecli help pptx <verb> <element> # Verb-scoped (e.g. add shape, set slide)
officecli help pptx <element> --json # Machine-readable schema
Help reflects the installed CLI version. When skill and help disagree, help is authoritative. Triggers to run help immediately: UNSUPPORTED props: warning, unknown animation preset, connector.shape= enum drifts, prop-vs-alias (lineWidth vs line.width, color vs font.color).
Shell & Execution Discipline
Shell quoting (zsh / bash). ALWAYS quote element paths ("/slide[1]/...") — zsh globs unquoted [1] to no matches found. Escaping happens at three layers — keep them separate (the CLI handles the second for you):
- Shell.
$in a value still belongs to the shell — single-quote the whole value:--prop text='$15M'. Double-quoted"$15M"gets expanded toM. The CLI does NOT unescape\$for you. - CLI (
text=). The two-char escapes\nand\tARE interpreted, consistently across pptx / docx / xlsx —\nis a line / paragraph break,\tis a tab. To produce a literal backslash-n in text, double it (\\n); this is rarely what you want. - JSON (batch heredoc). The recipes below pipe
cat <<EOF | officecli batchunquoted so$SLIDE/$FILEexpand inside the body. That same unquoted heredoc also expands a literal$in a value:"$1.42"silently becomes.42and"$2.4B"becomes.4B($1/$2are empty shell params). Escape currency as\$—"text":"\$1.42"— which still lets$SLIDEexpand.\n/\tinside the JSON work either way. A fully-quoted<<'EOF'protects every$but then$SLIDEwon't expand, so only use it when the body has no shell variables. After writing money values,view textand confirm the$survived.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

officecli-pptx is a skill published in the GitHub repository iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI (32,089 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 106 tokens to every session and 12,269 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
