Auto-fill document templates with data - mail merge for any format
npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill template-engine
This skill enables template-based document generation - define templates with placeholders, then automatically fill them with data. Works with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more.
Example prompts:
from openpyxl import load_workbook
import re
def fill_excel_template(template_path: str, data: dict, output_path: str):
wb = load_workbook(template_path)
ws = wb.active
# Find and replace placeholders like {{name}}
for row in ws.iter_rows():
for cell in row:
if cell.value and isinstance(cell.value, str):
for key, value in data.items():
placeholder = "{{" + key + "}}"
if placeholder in cell.value:
cell.value = cell.value.replace(placeholder, str(value))
wb.save(output_path)
return output_pathimport csv
from pathlib import Path
def mail_merge(template_path: str, data_csv: str, output_dir: str):
"""Generate documents for each row in CSV."""
Path(output_dir).mkdir(exist_ok=True)
with open(data_csv) as f:
reader = csv.DictReader(f)
for i, row in enumerate(reader):
output_path = f"{output_dir}/document_{i+1}.docx"
fill_template(template_path, row, output_path)
print(f"Generated: {output_path}")
# Usage with contacts.csv:

mail_merge(

# Template with conditionals:
