# OfficeCLI

> **OfficeCLI is the world's first and the best Office suite designed for AI agents.**

**Give any AI agent full control over Word, Excel, and PowerPoint — in one line of code.**

Open-source. Single binary. No Office installation. No dependencies. Works everywhere.

**OfficeCLI's built-in HTML rendering engine reproduces documents with high fidelity — and that's what gives AI eyes.** It renders `.docx` / `.xlsx` / `.pptx` to HTML or PNG, closing the *render → look → fix* loop.

## For AI Agents — Get Started in One Line

Paste this into your AI agent's chat — it will read the skill file and install everything automatically:

```
curl -fsSL https://officecli.ai/SKILL.md
```

That's it. The skill file teaches the agent how to install the binary and use all commands.

## For Humans

**Option A — GUI:** Install [**AionUi**](https://github.com/iOfficeAI/AionUi) — a desktop app that lets you create and edit Office documents through natural language, powered by OfficeCLI under the hood. Just describe what you want, and AionUi handles the rest.

**Option B — CLI:** Download the binary for your platform from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI/releases), then run:

```bash
officecli install
```

This copies the binary to your PATH and installs the **officecli skill** into every AI coding agent it detects — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, and more. Your agent can immediately create, read, and edit Office documents on your behalf, no extra configuration needed.

## For Developers — See It Live in 30 Seconds

```bash
# 1. Install (macOS / Linux) — or: brew install officecli / npm install -g @officecli/officecli
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI/m
```
