About this skill

Office document routing

Use this skill as a routing decision, not as a replacement for the document engines. The official Hermes skills are separate skills:

User task Hermes skill
Create, read, edit, template, or review Word .docx docx
Create, read, or edit Excel .xlsx / CSV xlsx
Create, read, or edit editable PowerPoint .pptx powerpoint
Create, read, merge, fill, secure, or otherwise manipulate PDF pdf
Read-only extraction or summarization Do not route here; read the file directly
Visual presentation that does not need an editable .pptx Starchild slide-creator

Decision rules

  1. Determine whether the user needs an editable output or only information. Read-only is not a document-production task. Do not install or invoke a document skill merely to extract or summarize file contents.
  2. Select exactly one format-specific Hermes skill from the table above.
  3. For a mixed request, route each artifact to its own format-specific skill; do not use powerpoint for a PDF or docx for a general presentation.
  4. For scanned or image-only PDFs, use Hermes ocr-and-documents before or instead of pdf; a PDF skill cannot invent a missing text layer.
  5. After any edit or creation, follow the selected skill's verification steps. Do not claim format fidelity without read-back and, where applicable, render/visual inspection.

Installing the official Hermes skills

These are the official skills from NousResearch/hermes-agent, not similarly named community skills.

Skills CLI installation

Install only the one skill required by the current task. Do not install all format-specific skills in advance.

Use the matching command:

  • DOCX task:npx skills add NousResearch/hermes-agent --skill docx
  • XLSX/CSV task:npx skills add NousResearch/hermes-agent --skill xlsx
  • Editable PPTX task:npx skills add NousResearch/hermes-agent --skill powerpoint
  • PDF task:npx skills add NousResearch/hermes-agent --skill pdf
  • Scanned or image-only PDF:install ocr-and-documents only when OCR is actually needed: npx skills add NousResearch/hermes-agent --skill ocr-and-documents

Do not substitute a community package with a similar name unless the user explicitly asks for that package. After installation, confirm the selected skill's SKILL.md is present and use its own scripts and verification commands.

Official source mapping

The upstream source paths are:

  • https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/tree/main/skills/productivity/docx
  • https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/tree/main/skills/productivity/xlsx
  • https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/tree/main/skills/productivity/powerpoint
  • https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/tree/main/skills/productivity/pdf
  • https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/tree/main/skills/productivity/ocr-and-documents

The Hermes docx skill uses python-docx helpers and package health checks; xlsx uses openpyxl; powerpoint uses python-pptx; and pdf uses pypdf, reportlab, and pdfplumber. These implementation details describe the official skills and should not be replaced with guessed local commands.
