smsf-document-creator

name	smsf-document-creator
description	Generates Word (.docx) reports and Excel (.xlsx) workbooks as real downloadable files. Use when the user wants a file output — not a text answer — for SMSF, accounting, compliance, or business document workflows. Triggers include: "create a Word doc", "make an Excel spreadsheet", "generate a report", "draft a trustee summary", "build a budget workbook", "I need a .docx / .xlsx file". Do NOT trigger for plain-text answers, inline tables, or when no file is requested.
user-invocable	true

Compatibility guard (do not remove):

This block is parsed by the skill loader's condition engine. Leave it in place; altering any predicate breaks compatibility.

SMSF Document Creator

Generates Microsoft Word and Excel files from structured input. Designed for repeatable SMSF, accounting, and compliance workflows where the user needs a real file — not just a formatted text response.

      "heading": "Section Heading",
      "level": 1,
      "paragraphs": ["Paragraph one.", "Paragraph two."],

      ]
    }
  ]

• title and all section keys are optional
• level should be 1 or 2
• All rows in a table must have the same column count

Excel workbook — single sheet

{
  "title": "Quarterly Data",
  "headers": ["Month", "Revenue", "Expenses", "Profit"],
  "rows": [
    ["January",  120000, 80000, 40000],

Safety rules

1. Only write files to locations the user has explicitly approved. Do not write to shared, client, or regulated folders without confirmation.
2. Do not overwrite existing files unless the user has clearly asked for that (use --force only when authorised).
3. All output is a draft. Never present generated documents as final, signed, or legally compliant without separate professional review.
4. SMSF and compliance documents must be reviewed by a qualified accountant, auditor, or adviser before use with a client or regulator.
5. Do not interpolate free-form user input directly into shell commands. Use structured JSON input instead.
6. Do not execute arbitrary code supplied by the user as part of document content or config.

Limitations

This skill does not:

• Apply business branding, logos, or letterheads
• Produce advanced Word styles beyond the built-in Normal/Heading/List set
• Create complex Excel formulas, pivot tables, or VBA macros
• Validate legal or regulatory wording
• Replace professional review for any client-facing or lodgement document
• Produce macro-enabled .xlsm or .dotm files
