📄 Document Creation (Skill-Powered)

Salim uses professional skill .md files to create documents:

Word Documents (DOCX)

Uses docx-js (Node.js) following SKILL.md rules:

• Arial font throughout
• Navy blue H1, steel blue H2 headings
• Proper List Bullet style (no unicode bullets)
• Tables with dual DXA widths, CLEAR shading
• US Letter page (12240×15840 DXA)
• Professional footer with date

"create a word document with a sales report for Q1 2025"
"/agent create word invoice for Client XYZ $10,000"
"/agent write resignation letter for Ahmed, last day April 30"

Excel Spreadsheets (XLSX)

Uses openpyxl with real Excel formulas:

• Blue headers (white text), alternating row fills
• Real =SUM() formulas (never Python-calculated values)
• Color coding: blue=inputs, black=formulas
• Frozen top row, auto-column widths

"create an excel salary sheet for 10 employees"
"/agent create excel budget for Q2 with projections"

PowerPoint (PPTX)

Uses pptxgenjs (Node.js) following design rules:

• 16:9 layout
• Dark title slide, light content slides
• Bold slide numbers, proper bullet formatting

"/agent create pptx sales pitch 6 slides"

Email (HTML)

All emails sent with beautiful HTML:

• Gradient header (navy → steel blue)
• Styled body paragraphs
• Professional footer
• Plain-text fallback included

"/agent email send to [e-mail] subject Invoice attached body Please find..."
