## What it does

The skill transforms tabular files and metric summaries into structured reports. It extracts KPIs such as total revenue or average order value, plots trend charts, and packages the result into a clean layout. The output can be an HTML dashboard with metric cards or a rendered document.

Inside, the workflow relies on Python patterns using `pandas`, `matplotlib`, and `reportlab`. It also integrates with the `office-mcp` server using `create_docx`, `create_xlsx`, `create_chart`, and `create_pptx` tools. Generating these visual files requires a local Python runtime or the connected MCP server. Set up those dependencies before running report tasks.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill report-generator -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/report-generator/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/report-generator/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill report-generator -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/report-generator/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill report-generator -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/report-generator/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install claude-office-skills/skills report-generator
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/report-generator/SKILL.md`

```bash
npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill report-generator -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/claude-office-skills/skills --path report-generator
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/report-generator/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill report-generator -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/claude-office-skills/skills/tree/HEAD/report-generator/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- plot monthly revenue trends and category breakdowns from CSV files
- generate HTML summary pages with KPI metric cards
- compute core financial statistics from raw transaction tables
- produce office documents and presentations via `office-mcp` tools

## Example prompts
- Generate a sales report from sales_data.csv with revenue charts.
- Create an HTML dashboard showing monthly KPIs and order metrics.
- Build an executive summary with visualizations from this JSON dataset.

# Report Generator Skill

## Overview

This skill enables automatic generation of professional data reports. Create dashboards, KPI summaries, and analytical reports with charts, tables, and insights from your data.

## How to Use

1. Provide data (CSV, Excel, JSON, or describe it)
2. Specify the type of report needed
3. I'll generate a formatted report with visualizations

**Example prompts:**
- "Generate a sales report from this data"
- "Create a monthly KPI dashboard"
- "Build an executive summary with charts"
- "Produce a data analysis report"

## Domain Knowledge

### Report Components

```python
# Report structure
report = {
    'title': 'Monthly Sales Report',
    'period': 'January 2024',
    'sections': [
        'executive_summary',
        'kpi_dashboard',
        'detailed_analysis',
        'charts',
        'recommendations'
    ]
}
```

### Using Python for Reports

```python
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import letter
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas

def generate_report(data, output_path):
    # Load data
    df = pd.read_csv(data)
    
    # Calculate KPIs
    total_revenue = df['revenue'].sum()
    avg_order = df['revenue'].mean()
    growth = df['revenue'].pct_change().mean()
    
    # Create charts
    fig, axes = plt.subplots(2, 2, figsize=(12, 10))
    df.plot(kind='bar', ax=axes[0,0], title='Revenue by Month')
    df.plot(kind='line', ax=axes[0,1], title='Trend')
    plt.savefig('charts.png')
    
    # Generate PDF
    # ... PDF generation code
    
    return output_path
```

### HTML Report Template

```python
def generate_html_report(data, title):
    html = f'''
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
        <title>{title}</title>
        <style>
````
