OpenWorkBuddy desktop or CLI, Node.js 18 or newer for source installs, an approved model provider or Ollama, and optional Claude Code or Codex CLI if used as an execution engine.
Install & setup
Install from the documented release packages or run the macOS installer with curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CatCatUncle/openworkbuddy/main/install-mac.sh | bash when that path fits your environment. Configure only model providers and local files you are authorized to use, and review the upstream PolyForm Noncommercial license and commercial-use terms before using it for business work.

Quick brief

Use OpenWorkBuddy when an operator needs a local-first office agent to produce actual files rather than a chat transcript. The workflow fits tasks such as turning source spreadsheets into presentation decks, researching a topic into a Word or Markdown report, producing HTML pages from materials, building scheduled briefings, or assembling simple media deliverables while keeping files and model keys on the local machine.

How it works

What this skill actually does

The repeatable workflow is concrete: install OpenWorkBuddy, configure an approved model provider or local Ollama model, provide the source files and deliverable goal, let the agent plan and execute the task, then inspect the generated PPTX, DOCX, XLSX, HTML, or MP4 artifact from disk before delivery. Invoke it instead of using a normal document editor or office SaaS when the value is autonomous planning, tool use, and file-level verification for a multi-step office deliverable. The scope boundary is local office-document and deliverable generation; it is not a general desktop assistant, model wrapper, Electron app listing, or broad agent framework entry.
