## What it does

The skill spins up an MCP server that hands your agent 39 tools. Ten cover PDF: pulling text and tables, merging and splitting by page range, compressing, watermarks, form filling, metadata, plus OCR for scans and images. Seven handle Excel: reading sheets and ranges, creating workbooks, statistics, formulas, charts, pivot tables, JSON export.

Word gets six tools: text extraction from `docx`, file creation with headings and tables, template filling through `{{placeholders}}`, structure analysis, table insertion, merging several files. Nine tools convert formats — `xlsx` to CSV and back, JSON to Excel, Word to Markdown and back, PDF to Word, and batch runs. Presentations: building `pptx` with themes, extracting content, Markdown to slides, adding and updating slides, export to reveal.js HTML, outline retrieval.

The server is TypeScript and builds with `npm install` and `npm run build`. OCR runs on `tesseract.js`, pure JavaScript, so no native binary is involved. Conversion the other way is a different story: `docx_to_pdf` and `html_to_pdf` need an external tool, and without it those two tools simply fail. OCR languages available: `eng`, `chi_sim`, `chi_tra`, `jpn`, `kor`, `fra`, `deu`, `spa`.
