Office Skills

Create, edit, and analyze Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and PDF files, and test web apps in a real browser, with AI Coding Agents (Hrida).

Office Skills is a small, focused marketplace of 5 skills grouped into 2 plugins. Each skill is plain markdown with bundled Python and Node helpers, so the agent produces real, correctly formatted files instead of describing them.

Plugins and skills

Plugin	Skill	What it does	Typical use case
Document Skills	xlsx	Create, edit, clean, and recalculate spreadsheets (.xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, .tsv)	Turn a messy CSV export into a formatted workbook with formulas and charts
	docx	Create and edit Word documents and templates, including tracked changes and comments	Draft a report or contract, or redline an existing one with tracked changes
	pptx	Build, read, and edit slide decks and templates	Build a pitch deck from notes, or update an existing company template
	pdf	Extract, merge, split, fill forms, OCR, and create PDFs	Pull tables out of invoices, fill a PDF form, or merge signed pages

Installation

The hridaai-agent-skills marketplace ships with AI Coding Agents (Hrida) and is added automatically on first start, so you only need to install the plugins you want.

1. Check the marketplace

hrida-agent-sdk plugin marketplace list

You should see hridaai-agent-skills. If it is missing, add it from a local checkout or from GitHub:

hrida-agent-sdk plugin marketplace add Hrida-AI/office-skills

2. Install a plugin

From your terminal:

hrida-agent-sdk plugin install document-skills@hridaai-agent-skills
hrida-agent-sdk plugin install webapp-testing@hridaai-agent-skills

Or inside a session:

/plugin install document-skills@hridaai-agent-skills

Run /plugin on its own to browse and install interactively. Add --scope project to share a plugin with everyone working in the repository, or --scope local to keep it to yourself in this repository only.

3. Install the helper tools

The skills call standard document tools on the machine where the agent runs. Install the ones for the skills you use:

Skill	Python (pip)	Other tools
xlsx	openpyxl, pandas, markitdown	LibreOffice (soffice) for formula recalculation
docx	—	Node docx package, pandoc, LibreOffice, Poppler (pdftoppm)
pptx	markitdown[pptx], Pillow, defusedxml, lxml	Node pptxgenjs package, LibreOffice, Poppler (pdftoppm)
pdf	pypdf, pdfplumber, reportlab, pytesseract, pdf2image	qpdf, Poppler (pdftotext), Tesseract for OCR
webapp-testing	playwright	A Playwright browser: playwright install chromium

tip

The agent checks for these when a skill runs and installs a missing Python or Node package if an import fails. System tools such as LibreOffice, Poppler, qpdf, and Tesseract must be installed by you or your administrator.

4. Manage plugins

Task	Command
List or manage installed plugins	/plugin manage
Disable or re-enable a plugin	/plugin disable <plugin> · /plugin enable <plugin>
Uninstall a plugin	/plugin uninstall <plugin>
Get the latest skills	/plugin marketplace update hridaai-agent-skills
Reload after changes	/reload-plugins

Using the skills

• Automatic. Mention the file or the deliverable ("clean up sales.xlsx", "make a 10-slide deck from these notes") and the matching skill loads on its own.
• On demand. Call a skill directly as /<plugin>:<skill>, for example /document-skills:pptx or /webapp-testing:webapp-testing.
• Files in, files out. Attach or point to your files; the agent writes the finished file next to them and checks it before handing it back.
