wordcli — AI Word CLI / DOCX Generator from Natural-Language Prompts

wordcli turns a written prompt into a real, editable .docx document — no templates, no manual formatting, no Word app required. wordcli is the Word document generator inside the OfficeCLI toolkit, distributed as a single cross-platform binary on npm and Homebrew.

npm install -g officecli

Or via Homebrew:

brew install officecli/homebrew-officecli/officecli

Pick one channel. If you previously installed via Homebrew and now want npm, uninstall the Homebrew formula first. Full install guide: officecli/officecli.

After install, the first run uses hosted anonymous trial access — no API key, no local model endpoint needed.

officecli new docx "Product Launch Brief" \
  --prompt "Audience, positioning, key messages, launch timeline, risk register, next steps."

What wordcli does under that single command:

• Plans the document structure from your prompt (headings, sections, lists)
• Writes a real .docx file to ./output/ — editable in Word, Pages, Google Docs, and WPS
• Optionally returns a public preview URL when online publishing is configured

From a prompt file

officecli new docx "Architecture RFC" --prompt-file ./rfc.txt

Higher-quality interactive mode

officecli new docx "Annual Strategy Memo" --mode best

Custom output directory

officecli new docx "Spec" --prompt-file ./spec.txt --out ./dist

JSON output for automation / CI

officecli new docx "Weekly Update" --prompt-file ./w.txt --json

Skip online publish (local only)

officecli new docx "Internal Draft" --prompt "..." --no-publish

• Product managers turning bullet notes into a PRD or launch brief
• Engineers drafting RFCs, design docs, and runbooks from an outline
• Founders producing investor memos and one-pagers on demand
• Consultants scaffolding client deliverables from a brief
• Marketing producing positioning docs and messaging guides
• HR / Ops drafting policies and SOPs from a description
• Engineering teams auto-generating release notes and status memos in CI
• AI agents / Claude Code plugins that need to emit .docx artifacts programmatically

OfficeCLI ships as an official Claude Code marketplace plugin, so agents can generate .docx files directly from inside Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add officecli/officecli
/plugin install officecli@officecli

Details: officecli/officecli → Claude Marketplace Install.

• Hosted (default) — fastest path. Free trial on first install, then officecli login and buy hosted credits at officecli.io/pricing. login prints a URL and short code, so it works in headless / remote shells too.

• External — point wordcli at your own model endpoint:

  officecli config set-runtime external
  officecli config set-generation
