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.

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 | $0.00224 | $0.12761 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00112 | $0.06381 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00045 | $0.02552 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00022 | $0.01276 |
Grade C, and why
officecli-word-form scanned grade C with 2 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 5d 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.

OfficeCLI Word-Form Skill
This skill is INDEPENDENT, not a scene layer on docx. A form's payload — <w:sdt> controls, <w:ffData> legacy fields, <w:fldChar> mail-merge, documentProtection — is a distinct element class from docx's paragraph/heading/style primitives. Its QA is different too: docx's Delivery Gate cares about visual layout and live PAGE fields, this skill's cares about data plumbing (protection enforced / alias+tag / items injected / name ≤ 20 / no underscore anti-pattern). Reverse handoff: if the user's document has no fillable fields (report, letter, memo, thesis, proposal), route to officecli-docx or a docx scene skill — don't use this one.
BEFORE YOU START (CRITICAL)
If officecli is not installed:
macOS / Linux
if ! command -v officecli >/dev/null 2>&1; then
curl -fsSL https://d.officecli.ai/install.sh | bash
fi
Windows (PowerShell)
if (-not (Get-Command officecli -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) {
irm https://d.officecli.ai/install.ps1 | iex
}
Verify: officecli --version
If officecli is still not found after first install, open a new terminal and run the verify command again.
If the install command above fails (e.g. blocked by security policy, no network access, or insufficient permissions), install manually — download the binary for your platform from https://github.com/iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI/releases — then re-run the verify command.
Help-First Rule
This skill teaches what a real form needs, not every CLI flag. When a prop / alias / enum is uncertain, consult help BEFORE guessing: officecli help docx [element] [--json] (e.g. sdt, formfield, field). Help is pinned to the installed CLI version and is authoritative — when this skill and help disagree, help wins (the prop set on sdt in particular has grown over time; trust help docx sdt, not a hardcoded list).
Mental Model & Inheritance
A Word form is a .docx plus four OpenXML payload layers plain-docx skills do not touch: <w:sdt> content controls (types: text / richtext / dropdown / combobox / date / picture / group), <w:ffData> legacy FormField (still the only way to get a real checkbox — SDT type=checkbox is not implemented), <w:fldChar> complex fields (MERGEFIELD, REF, PAGEREF, SEQ, IF — template-time, not user-fill), and documentProtection (the lock that makes non-field text read-only in Word — and, on the CLI, protection=forms locks non-field content edits (those need --force or raw-set) but still allows form-field (SDT) edits, which is the point of forms protection).
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-word-form is a skill published in the GitHub repository iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI (29,796 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 224 tokens to every session and 12,761 once invoked, about $0.0011 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
