command skills

skills

Install OfficeCLI skill definitions into AI agent clients.

Synopsis

officecli skills <subcommand> [args]
officecli load_skill <name>        # Print SKILL.md content to stdout (no install)
officecli skills <target>          # Legacy: install base skill to specific agent

skill and skills are interchangeable on the install/list path — routing is by the second token. The 1.0.68-only skill <name> facade has been removed in favor of load_skill <name> (content) plus skills install <name> (install) so the CLI matches the MCP load_skill tool. Users who type the old form get a helpful error.

Subcommands

Subcommand	Description
list	Show all available skills with install status
install	Install base SKILL.md to all detected agents
install <skill>	Install a specific specialized skill to all detected agents
install <skill> <agent>	Install a specific specialized skill to a single agent (e.g. install pptx hermes). Token order is auto-detected — install hermes pptx works the same.
<target>	Legacy: install base SKILL.md to a specific agent client

load_skill (dynamic load, no install)

officecli load_skill <name> prints the embedded SKILL.md contents to stdout with no side effects. It is the print-only counterpart to the MCP load_skill tool — same name, identical semantics. The ## Setup section is stripped from the output (agents don't need it on dynamic load).

officecli load_skill morph-ppt           # print SKILL.md to stdout
officecli load_skill financial-model

Notes

• The installed SKILL.md contains a strategy guide and format-specific property reference for the agent to use when generating OfficeCLI commands.
• On first install, OfficeCLI automatically detects installed AI tools and installs skills. Subsequent upgrades skip auto-installation to preserve custom modifications.
• For AI protocol-level integration (MCP), see mcp instead.
