Document Creation & Automation Skills: PPT, Word, Excel, Google Workspace & Report Generation
Most AI outputs live in the chat window and die there. Document creation skills solve the last mile: turning Claude's output into shareable, formatted, business-ready files — PowerPoint decks, Word reports, Excel models, and Google Workspace documents that actually land in inboxes and meeting rooms.
ClawHub hosts document creation and automation skills across 5 functional areas.

一、PPT & Presentation Generation
Presentation generation is the highest-demand document skill on the platform. ai-ppt-generator (16.7k downloads, 117 installs) uses Baidu AI for smart template selection based on presentation topic and style — optimized for Chinese business contexts. powerpoint-pptx (7.3k downloads, 58 installs) takes the local route: it creates and edits PPTX files directly using Python's python-pptx library, no external API required, full control over slide structure.
google-slides (7.7k downloads, 14 installs) integrates with Google Slides API via managed OAuth — creating presentations that live in Google Drive and can be collaboratively edited immediately. ppt-generator (2.9k downloads) generates Jobs-style minimal presentations from spoken content, outputting as HTML — useful when you want lightweight, web-shareable decks without requiring PowerPoint.
openclaw-ppt-generator (352 downloads) is the open-source alternative: generate PPTX via python-pptx with no third-party dependencies or API keys needed.
二、Word & Document Writing
word-docx (12.6k downloads, 113 installs) is the most-installed skill in this category. It creates, inspects, and edits Microsoft Word documents and DOCX files — covering full document lifecycle from generation to structured editing. High installs relative to downloads suggests it's embedded in active workflows: people install it and keep using it.
technical-doc-generator (708 downloads) generates professional technical documentation from codebases: API references, architecture docs, and user guides. api-doc-generator (439 downloads) specifically generates OpenAPI/Swagger documentation by analyzing code — saving hours of manual documentation writing.
三、Excel & Spreadsheet Automation
excel-xlsx (9.8k downloads, 109 installs) creates, inspects, and edits Microsoft Excel workbooks and XLSX files — the de facto standard for structured data output. google-sheets (8.3k downloads, 17 installs) provides Google Sheets API integration via managed OAuth for read/write access to Drive-hosted spreadsheets.
automate-excel (1.4k downloads, 20 installs) goes beyond basic read/write: it handles merging, transforming, validating, and generating Excel files programmatically — the automation layer for repetitive Excel workflows. google-sheets-api (2.2k downloads, 10 installs) installs a Sheets CLI with complete setup guidance for connecting a service account.
四、Google Workspace Integration
google-docs (5.3k downloads, 14 installs) provides Google Docs API integration via managed OAuth — create documents, read content, update formatting, and manage permissions programmatically. google-docs-skill (669 downloads) adds form field handling and template population. google-docs-integration (224 downloads) focuses on document management workflows: organizing Drive folders, sharing settings, and revision history.
五、Report Generation
Report generation is the most culturally specific use case in this category — weekly and daily work reports are a deeply embedded workplace ritual in Chinese professional culture, and these skills reflect that. weekly-report-generator (2.8k downloads, 36 installs) is the flagship: auto-generates structured weekly business reports covering KPIs, blockers, and next-week plans.
smart-weekly-report (1.5k downloads) adds role awareness — it adapts the report format and language to the user's job function. daily-report-writer (508 downloads, 10 installs) handles daily standup-style reports. report-generator (1.2k downloads, 20 installs) takes a structured approach: generates reports in HTML from templates with KPI data injection.
六、Chinese Office Automation
Chinese workplace software ecosystems differ from Western ones: WPS Office dominates desktop use, and batch-processing workflows (批量处理) for forms and reports are common. These skills address those specific patterns.
ke-office-automation (1.1k downloads) handles Excel/Word batch processing with Chinese document conventions. wps-office-automation-skill (319 downloads) covers WPS-native formats and the WPS API. chinese-office-automation (454 downloads) adds Chinese-language document conventions: pinyin conversion, Chinese holiday calendars, and lunar date support.

| Create/edit Word documents | word-docx |
| Generate technical/API documentation | api-doc-generator |

| Automate repetitive Excel workflows | automate-excel |
| Weekly work report | weekly-report-generator |
Last Words
word-docx's 113 installs vs. 12.6k downloads (0.9% ratio) is high for this platform. Document creation is not a one-time experiment — people who install this skill keep it installed because they generate documents regularly. Same pattern with excel-xlsx at 109 installs.
The PPT skills show the Baidu API dependence problem. ai-ppt-generator's 16.7k downloads are largely from Chinese users who have Baidu AI access. Outside China, powerpoint-pptx (local, no API) or google-slides (OAuth) are the pragmatic choices.
Report generation is overwhelmingly weekly-report-centric. 7 skills in this sub-category, 5 of them explicitly weekly. This reflects Chinese workplace culture where weekly written reports (周报) are a management standard across most companies. There's a gap for Western-style reporting formats (project status reports, board decks, investor updates).
Google Workspace skills have low install rates despite high downloads. The OAuth setup barrier is real — managed OAuth sounds simple but requires a GCP project, credentials configuration, and token management that most users don't want to handle. Skills that skip OAuth (like google-sheets-agent using service accounts) tend to convert better.
