officecli-docx

A skill for working with DOCX files, the standard document format used by Microsoft Word. It covers creating, reading, editing, and reviewing documents, including comments and tracked changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it whenever a Word document is an input or output, such as for reports, letters, proposals, or edits to an existing DOCX.
Why use it?
It provides a consistent way to handle Word documents and encourages checking the available command options before making uncertain changes.

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.

Security

Grade C, and why

officecli-docx 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.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 662 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

OfficeCLI DOCX Skill

Setup

If officecli is missing:

  • 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 (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.

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. Special-topic mini-sections below end with an explicit pointer back to help.

Mental Model & Inheritance

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 — is XML inside that ZIP. officecli gives you a semantic-path API (/body/p[1]/r[2]) over it, so you almost never touch raw XML; when you must, use raw-set.

Shell & Execution Discipline

Shell quoting (zsh / bash). docx paths contain [], some prop values contain $. Both are shell metacharacters. Rules:

  • ALWAYS quote element paths: "/body/p[1]", not /body/p[1].
  • Use single quotes for any prop value containing $: --prop text='$50M'. The rule holds at any length — a 200-word body paragraph containing $50M needs the whole value inside single quotes, same as a three-word heading: --prop text='In Q4 we hit $50M ARR, up 18% YoY — the strongest quarter since inception...'. Mixing '... $var ...' and "... $50 ..." on long strings is where shell-leak silently strips $50 → nothing.
  • NEVER hand-write \$, \t, \n inside executable examples. The CLI does not interpret backslash escapes; they will land in your file as literal characters. In a cell / paragraph text, a real newline goes through the JSON layer (batch heredoc with "\n" inside the JSON string).

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.
