Office Skills — Environment Setup

This skill installs the tools required by the office-skills repository into a single local directory, resolves npm dependencies, and writes a paths.json that other skills use to locate them. Follow it sequentially — each phase gates the next. Skip phases where all checks already pass.

Do not run this proactively. Only follow this workflow when:

• A script fails because a tool is missing
• The user explicitly asks to set up the environment
• You're operating in a new environment for the first time

Non-interactive execution

All command line calls must use non-interactive flags. The user interacts with the agent, not the terminal. This means:

• Use -y, --yes, -f, --force, --no-pager, and non-interactive equivalents whenever available
• Never use git commit without -m (always provide the message)
• Never use interactive cp, mv, or rm confirmations — use -f or equivalent
• Pipe yes | to commands that stubbornly require confirmation when no flag exists
• Always redirect output appropriately; if you need to see output, capture it and surface it to the user
