Do I need Microsoft Office installed to use Oxen Office?

No, this skill operates using the oxen-cli and Bun runtime, which interacts directly with the Office Open XML file structures without needing the desktop applications.

Can I create Word and Excel files from scratch with this skill?

Currently, full JSON-based building is optimized for PPTX files. DOCX and XLSX support focuses on information extraction, style inspection, and template-based operations.

Is the extracted data available in machine-readable formats?

Yes, many commands support the '-o json' flag, allowing you to export document metadata and content as structured JSON for use in other scripts or applications.

How can I preview a document's content in the terminal?

You can use the 'preview' command (e.g., scripts/oxen-cli pptx preview ) to generate an ASCII representation of the document's layout and content directly in your CLI.
