Description

Draftspect — open Word or Excel and chat with your own local Claude Code: it reads and edits the document and can pull in any local folders/files you point it at (notes, drafts, data, a repo) as context. Your configured agent — MCP, skills, CLAUDE.md — on your machine. Powered by Claude Code.

Installation

This entry records only its repository, not the path inside it, so there is no exact command to give. Open the source below and copy the folder into ~/.claude/skills/, or the file into ~/.claude/agents/.

Add-ins for Word and Excel — **Powered by Claude.**

Open Word or Excel, click a button, and chat with **your own local Claude Code** — the same agent, with the same MCP servers, subagents, skills, hooks, and `CLAUDE.md` you already use in the terminal — now able to read and edit the active document, leave comments, and write cells and formulas.

**The point of difference: local context.** Point Claude at any folders or files on your machine — a notes folder, prior drafts, a vendor's spec PDF, last quarter's data export, a code repo — and they become background it reads on demand while it works in your document. It's your real Claude Code, so everything you've configured applies.

How Draftspect differs from the official Claude for Word and Excel add-in

Anthropic ships a first-party **Claude for Word and Excel** add-in (Office store / Microsoft Marketplace). It's polished, zero-setup, and first-party-supported. Draftspect is a different tool with a different tradeoff — heavier to set up, but it's _your_ local Claude Code with reach beyond Office:
