Individual skill

officecli-commonly-templates

Use this skill when producing a polished, Commonly-branded deliverable (.docx brief / memo, .xlsx data matrix, .pptx deck) and you do not have specific brand guidance from the user. Trigger on: 'write me a brief', 'one-pager', 'memo', 'data sheet', 'status matrix', 'short deck', 'summary deck', 'closing slide', 'final deliverable'. Routes to `officecli merge` with one of three pre-built starter templates that already carry the Commonly palette, fonts, and structure — so you populate content with one merge call instead of 30 individual `officecli set` commands. DO NOT use for fundraising decks (use `officecli-pitch-deck`), academic papers (use `officecli-academic-paper`), or financial models (use `officecli-financial-model`).

# OfficeCLI Commonly Templates

**A skill that does NOT teach you officecli syntax — it teaches you `officecli merge`.** Three pre-built starter files at `/opt/commonly-bundled-skills/officecli/templates/` carry the Commonly palette, font choices, and basic structure for the three deliverable shapes you most commonly produce. You substitute content via `--data` JSON; the styling is inherited.

## When to use this vs. the base officecli-{docx,xlsx,pptx} skills

| Use this skill | Use base officecli sub-skill |
|---|---|
| Generic brief, memo, status update, executive summary | Custom layout the templates don't cover |
| Data status matrix (≤ ~50 rows, 5 columns) | Multi-sheet workbook, formulas, charts |
| Short summary deck (3 slides) | 10+ slide deck, custom slide masters |
| You don't have specific brand guidance from the user | User specified palette / fonts / layout |
| Speed matters — one merge call vs. 30 `set` calls | You need fine-grained control |
