Manage long-running shell sessions with tmux — start a detached session, run a long task, reattach later, capture output. Use when a task takes longer than a single tool call (build, test, log tail).

Manipulate PDF files — extract text, count pages, render thumbnails, merge or split documents. Use for PDF-specific operations that don't fit `markdown-converter` (general read) or `pandic-office` (write from markdown).

Convert Markdown to PDF (or DOCX/EPUB/HTML) using the `pandoc` CLI. Use when asked to produce a PDF report, brief, summary, or any document where the input is Markdown and the output should be a polished, paginated file.

Use this skill any time a .xlsx file is involved -- as input, output, or both. This includes: creating spreadsheets, financial models, dashboards, or trackers; reading, parsing, or extracting data from any .xlsx file; editing, modifying, or updating existing workbooks; working with formulas, charts, pivot tables, or templates; importing CSV/TSV data into Excel format. Trigger whenever the user mentions 'spreadsheet', 'workbook', 'Excel', 'financial model', 'tracker', 'dashboard', or references a .xlsx/.csv filename.

Use this skill to create fillable Word forms (.docx) with real Content Controls (SDT) + legacy FormField checkboxes + MERGEFIELD mail-merge placeholders + document protection. Trigger on: 'fillable form', 'form fields', 'content controls', 'SDT', 'word form', 'fill in', 'only editable fields', 'protect document', 'onboarding form', 'HR intake', 'survey template', 'contract / SOW template', 'mail-merge template', 'compliance checklist', 'medical intake questionnaire'. Output is a single .docx where specific fields are editable and the rest is locked. This skill is INDEPENDENT, not a scene layer on docx — payload is `<w:sdt>` + `<w:ffData>` + `<w:fldChar>` + `documentProtection`, none of which docx base skill covers. Do NOT trigger for regular reports, letters, memos, academic papers, pitch decks, or any document with no user-fillable fields — route those to officecli-docx or its scene layers.

Use this skill any time a .pptx file is involved -- as input, output, or both. This includes: creating slide decks, pitch decks, or presentations; reading, parsing, or extracting text from any .pptx file; editing, modifying, or updating existing presentations; combining or splitting slide files; working with templates, layouts, speaker notes, or comments. Trigger whenever the user mentions 'deck', 'slides', 'presentation', 'pitch', or references a .pptx filename.

Use this skill when the user is building a fundraising / investor pitch deck — seed, Series A / B / C, convertible note, SAFE round, strategic raise. Trigger on: 'pitch deck', 'investor deck', 'Series A deck', 'Series B deck', 'Series C deck', 'fundraising deck', 'seed pitch', 'VC deck', 'raising capital', 'term sheet presentation'. Output is a single .pptx. This skill is a scene layer on top of officecli-pptx — inherits every pptx v2 rule (visual floor, grid, palettes, connector canon, Delivery Gate). DO NOT invoke for a generic board review, sales deck, all-hands, or product launch — route those to officecli-pptx base.

Use this skill when the user wants to build a financial model — 3-statement model, DCF valuation, LBO, SaaS unit economics, sensitivity / scenario analysis, debt schedule, or fundraising projections — in Excel. Trigger on: 'financial model', '3-statement model', 'P&L + BS + CF', 'DCF', 'WACC', 'NPV', 'terminal value', 'LBO', 'debt schedule', 'cash sweep', 'MOIC', 'IRR / XIRR', 'sensitivity table', 'scenario analysis', 'ARR model', 'unit economics', 'CAC / LTV', 'cap table forecast'. Output is a single formula-driven .xlsx. This skill is a scene layer on top of officecli-xlsx — it inherits every xlsx v2 rule (4-color code, visual floor, number formats, cache-drift, Known Issues, Delivery Gate minimum cycle). DO NOT invoke for a simple budget tracker, CSV dump, or operational KPI sheet — route those to officecli-xlsx base.

Use this skill any time a .docx file is involved -- as input, output, or both. This includes: creating Word documents, reports, letters, memos, or proposals; reading, parsing, or extracting text from any .docx file; editing, modifying, or updating existing documents; working with templates, tracked changes, comments, headers/footers, or tables of contents. Trigger whenever the user mentions 'Word doc', 'document', 'report', 'letter', 'memo', or references a .docx filename.

Use this skill to build a multi-element Excel dashboard — Dashboard sheet on open, multiple formula-driven KPI cards, multiple charts, sparklines, and conditional formatting — from CSV or tabular input. Trigger on: 'dashboard', 'KPI dashboard', 'analytics dashboard', 'executive dashboard', 'metrics dashboard', 'CSV to dashboard', 'data visualization'. Output is a single .xlsx. Scene-layer on officecli-xlsx: inherits every xlsx hard rule. DO NOT invoke for: a single budget tracker / one-sheet CSV-with-formatting (use xlsx), a 3-statement / DCF / LBO financial model (use financial-model), a weekly report with ≤ 1 chart and < 10 rows (use xlsx).

Use this skill when producing a polished, Commonly-branded deliverable (.docx brief / memo, .xlsx data matrix, .pptx deck) and you do not have specific brand guidance from the user. Trigger on: 'write me a brief', 'one-pager', 'memo', 'data sheet', 'status matrix', 'short deck', 'summary deck', 'closing slide', 'final deliverable'. Routes to `officecli merge` with one of three pre-built starter templates that already carry the Commonly palette, fonts, and structure — so you populate content with one merge call instead of 30 individual `officecli set` commands. DO NOT use for fundraising decks (use `officecli-pitch-deck`), academic papers (use `officecli-academic-paper`), or financial models (use `officecli-financial-model`).

Use this skill to build academic-style .docx output: journal / conference / thesis chapters carrying formal citation style (APA, Chicago, IEEE, MLA), numbered equations, figure & table cross-references, footnotes/endnotes, bibliography, or multi-column journal layout. Trigger on: 'research paper', 'journal paper', 'conference paper', 'manuscript', 'thesis', 'APA', 'MLA', 'Chicago', 'IEEE two-column', 'bibliography', 'hanging indent', 'citation style', 'abstract + keywords', 'equation numbering', 'cross-reference', paper with footnotes/endnotes. Output is a single .docx.

Use this skill when the user wants a .pptx with smooth cross-slide animation — PowerPoint Morph transitions, Keynote-style continuous motion, shapes that grow / move / rotate as the slide advances. Trigger on: 'morph', 'morph transition', 'smooth transition', 'continuous animation across slides', 'Keynote-style transition', 'animated slide sequence', 'shape continuity across slides'. Output is a single .pptx. This skill is a scene layer on top of officecli-pptx — inherits every pptx v2 rule (visual floor, grid, palettes, connector canon, Delivery Gate 1–5a). DO NOT invoke for a generic deck, pitch deck, or board review without cross-slide motion — route those to officecli-pptx base or officecli-pitch-deck.

3D Morph PPT — extends morph-ppt with GLB model insertion, cinematographic camera, model-content layout, and enriched visual design system.

Create, analyze, proofread, and modify Office documents (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx) using the officecli CLI tool. Use when the user wants to create, inspect, check formatting, find issues, add charts, or modify Office documents.

Convert binary documents (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, HTML, EPUB, images) to clean LLM-friendly Markdown using Microsoft's `markitdown` Python tool. Use when a user attaches a binary file and you need to read its contents.

Interact with GitHub (issues, PRs, repos, releases) using the `gh` CLI. Use when asked to read or write GitHub state — open an issue, fetch PR diff, comment, list runs, etc.
