MiniMax-AI/skills

This system is a modular skills framework that provides specialized tools for generating and manipulating various media and document formats. It enables the creation of animated GIFs, the processing of Word and PDF documents, and the handling of Excel spreadsheets, each governed by specific validation and formatting rules. The platform also includes automated quality checks to ensure structural integrity and security within the skills library.

Introduced the Minimax XLSX skill, enabling the system to open, create, read, analyze, edit, and validate Excel (.xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, .tsv) files. This update adds a comprehensive set of reference documents (create, edit, format, read-analyze, validate, fix) and utility scripts (xlsx\_reader.py, formula\_check.py, xlsx\_unpack/pack.py) that guide the agent to perform direct XML-based editing of xlsx files, preserving all embedded content like macros, pivot tables, and charts, while ensuring all calculated cells use live Excel formulas rather than hardcoded values.

The frontend-dev skill has been added to the skills library, providing a comprehensive guide for building production-ready frontend pages with premium UI design, cinematic animations, AI-generated media, and persuasive copy. The change includes the core SKILL.md definition, a directory of Open Font License (OFL) text files for various fonts (ArsenalSC, BigShoulders, Boldonse, BricolageGrotesque, CrimsonPro, DMMono, EricaOne, GeistMono, Gloock, IBMPlexMono, InstrumentSans, and Italiana), and attribution for the taste-skill by Leonxlnx.

A new 'minimax-docx' skill has been added to enable the creation, editing, and formatting of Word (.docx) documents. The skill provides three processing pipelines: creating new documents from scratch, filling or editing content in existing documents, and applying template formatting with XSD validation. It includes a comprehensive set of XML schema definitions (XSD) for validating aesthetic rules, business rules, and a subset of the WordprocessingML (WML) structure. Additionally, pre-defined style templates for academic, corporate, and default document layouts are included to ensure consistent formatting.

Added a new automated validation tooling for pull requests that submit or modify skills. The change introduces a Python script (validate\_skills.py) and supporting Markdown files that enforce structural rules (e.g., required SKILL.md, valid YAML frontmatter, directory naming) and scan for hardcoded secrets. This provides a two-phase review process: an automated check for hard rules followed by manual content review against quality guidelines.

Added the minimax-pdf skill, which provides three routes for PDF handling: CREATE (generate new PDFs from content), FILL (populate form fields in existing PDFs), and REFORMAT (apply design to existing documents). The skill includes a design system with 13 cover patterns, automatic color/typography selection, and scripts for inspecting and filling PDF forms.

Users can now transform photos of people, pets, objects, or logos into four animated GIF stickers in a Funko Pop / Pop Mart 3D figurine style. The new skill orchestrates a multi-step workflow: it uses the MiniMax Image and Video Generation APIs to create static images and animate them into videos, then converts the results to GIFs. The process requires Python, ffmpeg, and the MINIMAX\_API\_KEY environment variable. Users can provide custom captions or use multilingual defaults, with all outputs delivered as GIF assets.

Added two new skills: a 'gif-sticker-maker' skill that includes a Python requirements file specifying 'requests\>=2.28' and a 'minimax-docx' skill that introduces .NET 8.0 projects for a CLI and core library, utilizing 'System.CommandLine' version 2.0.5 and 'DocumentFormat.OpenXml' version 3.5.1.
