officecli

AI-friendly CLI for .docx, .xlsx, .pptx.

Install

if ! command -v officecli >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI/main/install.sh | bash
fi

if (-not (Get-Command officecli -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) {
  irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI/main/install.ps1 | iex
}

Verify with officecli --version.

Strategy

Prefer higher-level operations first:

• L1 read
• L2 DOM edit
• L3 raw XML

Use --json when you need structured output.

Help First

If you are unsure about paths or property names, run help instead of guessing:

officecli pptx set
officecli pptx set shape
officecli pptx set shape.fill

Swap pptx for docx or xlsx.

Core Workflow

For multi-step edits, keep the file resident:

officecli open report.docx
officecli set report.docx ...
officecli close report.docx

For visual review and targeted edits, use watch/selection/marks:

officecli watch report.docx
officecli get report.docx selected --json
officecli mark report.docx /body/p[3] --prop find=foo --prop tofix=bar
officecli get-marks report.docx --json
officecli unmark report.docx --all
officecli unwatch report.docx

Notes

• Paths are 1-based; --index is 0-based.
• Prefer stable IDs like @id= or @paraId= when a path must survive insert/delete.
• Use view issues to catch formatting, content, and structure problems early.
• For large documents, limit output with --max-lines.
• Close the file in Office/WPS before editing it.
