A command-line tool for creating, inspecting, proofreading, and editing Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files. It can work with these files without requiring Microsoft Office to be installed.

Use it to read or modify DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX files, find document issues, add charts, or proofread and validate formatting.

It gives an agent a structured way to examine and change office documents while checking formatting and content.

Token cost

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	$0.00056	$0.05526
Opus 5	$0.00028	$0.02763
Sonnet 5	$0.00011	$0.01105
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00553

Security

Grade C, and why

officecli 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 19 executable files (skills/morph-ppt/reference/morph-helpers.py, skills/morph-ppt/reference/morph-helpers.sh, skills/morph-ppt/reference/styles/bw--brutalist-raw/build.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 411 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

officecli

AI-friendly CLI for .docx, .xlsx, .pptx. Single binary, no dependencies, no Office installation needed.

Install

If officecli is not installed:

# macOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI/main/install.sh | bash

# Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI/main/install.ps1 | iex

Verify with officecli --version. If still not found after install, open a new terminal.

Strategy

L1 (read) → L2 (DOM edit) → L3 (raw XML). Always prefer higher layers. Add --json for structured output.

Before doc work, check Specialized Skills (bottom of this file). Fundraising decks, academic papers, financial models, dashboards, and Morph animations need their own skill loaded first — load_skill once, then proceed.

Help System (IMPORTANT)

When unsure about property names, value formats, or command syntax, ALWAYS run help instead of guessing. One help query beats guess-fail-retry loops.

officecli help ≡ officecli --help, and officecli <cmd> --help ≡ officecli help <cmd> — same content.

officecli help                                  # All commands + global options + schema entry points
officecli help docx                             # List all docx elements
officecli help docx paragraph                   # Full schema: properties, aliases, examples, readbacks
officecli help docx set paragraph               # Verb-filtered: only props usable with `set`
officecli help docx paragraph --json            # Structured schema (machine-readable)

Format aliases: word→docx, excel→xlsx, ppt/powerpoint→pptx. Verbs: add, set, get, query, remove. MCP exposes the same schema via {"command":"help","format":"docx","type":"paragraph"}.

Performance: Resident Mode

Every command auto-starts a resident on first access (60s idle timeout) — file-lock conflicts are automatically avoided. Explicit open/close is still recommended for longer sessions (12min idle):

officecli open report.docx       # explicitly keep in memory
officecli set report.docx ...    # no file I/O overhead
officecli close report.docx      # save and release

What ships with it

60 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository Team-Commonly/commonly (1,323 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 5,526 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
