Office Files

Use the OOMOL Hermes Agent image-provided Office stack. Do not install replacement document libraries at runtime before trying the supported tools below.

Default tools

• Use markitdown first for model-readable extraction from ordinary .docx, .xlsx, and simple .pptx files.
• Use python-docx for structured Word .docx creation or updates.
• Use openpyxl for structured Excel .xlsx or .xlsm creation or updates. Use defusedxml-safe parsing paths for untrusted XML-adjacent content.
• Use python-pptx for basic PowerPoint .pptx creation, inspection, or patching. Complex beautification, template filling, animations, and high-fidelity presentation generation are outside this skill's guarantee.
• Use pandoc for Markdown-to-Word and similar document conversions.
• Use LibreOffice through soffice --headless for Office-to-PDF export, format conversion, and legacy .doc, .xls, or .ppt handling.
• Use the bundled pdf-files skill for native PDF creation, AcroForm filling, static PDF delivery, verification, and digital signatures.

Runtime

Use the image-provided Python environment directly:

/opt/hermes/.venv/bin/python

The OOMOL image installs markitdown, docx, openpyxl, pptx, and into this interpreter. It also installs LibreOffice, Pandoc, and CJK fonts during the image build.
