Brand-Docs: Open-Source Tool for Claude to Generate DOCX, PPTX, XLSX from Templates
Brand-Docs is an open-source tool that enables Claude to generate Office documents (DOCX, PPTX, XLSX) while strictly adhering to your company's existing brand templates — preserving layout, styles, and images without recreating them.
As posted on r/ClaudeAI, the author was tasked with making Claude repeatedly generate Office documents based on company templates with variable content. Testing Claude's official document-generation skills showed good but not reliably consistent results for preserving template design.
Key details from the source
- The solution extracts characteristics from templates and reuses them faithfully when generating new documents.
- After three days of work (accelerated by AI), the tool was built and open-sourced.
- The author emphasizes that AI is good at generating documents, but needs a robust process to extract and replicate template characteristics.
- Repository: github.com/ferdinandobons/brand-docs
Who it's for
Developers building automated document generation pipelines with Claude where company branding compliance is critical.
