skill-name · claude-office-skills — Claude Code skill: office skill template

A template skill from the Claude Office Skills set: it lays out the metadata and section structure for skills that handle documents and legal work.

What skill-name does

This is a starting point, not a working skill. The SKILL.md file opens with an extended metadata header: name, description, version, MIT license, category, tags, department. Then come model compatibility, a link to the office-mcp server with tools such as extract_text_from_pdf and extract_text_from_docx, input and output specs, capabilities and related skills.

The body is split into sections: an overview of what the skill can and cannot do, step-by-step usage, domain knowledge, output format, examples, tips and limitations. The header sets category legal, tags contract, review, risk-analysis, and department Legal. English and Chinese are the listed languages.

Copying the template as-is gets you nothing useful — the description stays a placeholder and the sections stay in square brackets. That is the cue to rewrite the header and fill domain knowledge with your own rules right away. Out of the box it analyses nothing; the actual document work comes from office-mcp tools, which you wire up separately.

What it helps with

  • lay out skill metadata across required and optional fields
  • describe input files and text parameters before writing any logic
  • wire the skill to the right MCP server tools
  • set up a report structure with risks, findings and recommendations
  • check related skills in the same category to avoid overlap

Example prompts for the agent

  • Take _template/SKILL.md and fill the header for a contract review skill
  • Add rules for the legal category to the domain knowledge section
  • Describe the party_role input and a markdown output format in the template

Questions about skill-name

How do I install skill-name in Claude?

Run npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill skill-name -a claude-code. Or install the template itself with npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill _template -a claude-code, which puts the file at ~/.claude/skills/_template/SKILL.md.

What does skill-name do?

It defines a skill's structure: metadata, model compatibility, the office-mcp binding, input and output specs, plus sections for domain knowledge and examples.

Which models does the template support?

The header recommends claude-sonnet-4 and claude-opus-4, and lists claude-3-5-sonnet, gpt-4 and gpt-4o as compatible.
