Teknium afb7bf6a5a feat(skills): bundle docx, xlsx, and pdf office skills; refresh powerpoint (#68595)
Non-technical users asking for Word docs, spreadsheets, or PDF work had
no bundled skill coverage — docx/xlsx creation required discovering and
installing hub skills, and PDF manipulation had no skill at all beyond
OCR extraction and nano-pdf edits.

- skills/productivity/docx: create (docx-js), edit (unzip -> XML -> zip),
  tracked changes, comments, validation. Adapted from anthropics/skills.
- skills/productivity/xlsx: openpyxl creation/editing, mandatory
  LibreOffice recalc gate, formula-compatibility rules, financial-model
  conventions. Points at optional excel-author for finance-grade work.
- skills/productivity/pdf: merge/split/rotate/watermark/encrypt, form
  filling (AcroForm + flat overlay scripts), text/table extraction,
  reportlab creation, forms.md + reference.md companions.
- skills/productivity/powerpoint: synced to current upstream pptx skill —
  richer pptxgenjs corruption footguns, template workflow, validate.py +
  validators + thumbnail.py, font-substitution QA guidance; drops the
  stale pack.py/editing.md/pptxgenjs.md workflow files.
- Cross-linked ocr-and-documents, nano-pdf, excel-author via
  related_skills so each office skill routes to its siblings.
- deliverable-mode docs mention the new skills; regenerated per-skill
  docs pages, catalogs, and sidebar.
- tests/skills/test_office_document_skills.py: frontmatter contracts,
  referenced-script existence, schema-map integrity, cross-link
  resolution, script compilation.

E2E validated: docx create->render->edit->validate, xlsx recalc
(SUM + _xlfn.TEXTJOIN evaluate correctly), pdf create->merge->extract,
pptx generate->validate->thumbnail.

nano-pdf

Edit PDFs using natural-language instructions. Point it at a page and describe what to change. For structural PDF work (merge, split, forms, watermarks, creation), see the pdf skill; for text extraction from scans, see ocr-and-documents.

Prerequisites

# Install with uv (recommended — already available in Hermes)
uv pip install nano-pdf

# Or with pip
pip install nano-pdf

Usage

nano-pdf edit <file.pdf> <page_number> "<instruction>"

Examples

# Change a title on page 1
nano-pdf edit deck.pdf 1 "Change the title to 'Q3 Results' and fix the typo in the subtitle"

# Update a date on a specific page
nano-pdf edit report.pdf 3 "Update the date from January to February 2026"

# Fix content
nano-pdf edit contract.pdf 2 "Change the client name from 'Acme Corp' to 'Acme Industries'"

Notes

  • Page numbers may be 0-based or 1-based depending on version — if the edit hits the wrong page, retry with ±1
  • Always verify the output PDF after editing (use read_file to check file size, or open it)
  • The tool uses an LLM under the hood — requires an API key (check nano-pdf --help for config)
  • Works well for text changes; complex layout modifications may need a different approach
