# Documents

Headmaster can generate native Office documents — decks, spreadsheets, reports, and PDFs — directly on your machine. No cloud conversion, no external services. The files are real, editable, and ready to share.

***

## Document types

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Decks (PowerPoint)">
    The Writer and The Storyteller specialists create `.pptx` files with:

    * Editable slides (real PowerPoint shapes and text — not screenshots).
    * Smooth morph transitions between slides.
    * Speaker notes.
    * Themes and layouts.

    **Example prompt:**

    ```
    Create a 10-slide pitch deck for a SaaS startup called Acme.
    Series A, $5M raise. Include market size, traction, team,
    financials, and ask.
    ```

    The agent generates the `.pptx` file, the preview panel shows a slide-by-slide preview, and the file is saved to your project folder.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Spreadsheets (Excel)">
    The Analyst specialist creates `.xlsx`, `.xlsm`, and `.csv` files with:

    * Formulas (real Excel formulas — not just values).
    * Charts (bar, line, pie, scatter).
    * Multiple sheets.
    * Conditional formatting.
    * Data validation.

    **Example prompt:**

    ```
    Create a financial model: 3-statement projection for a SaaS company.
    5-year forecast. Include revenue, COGS, gross margin, OpEx, EBITDA.
    Monthly granularity for year 1, quarterly for years 2-5.
    ```

    The agent generates the `.xlsx` file with live formulas. Open it in Excel and the formulas recalculate when you change inputs.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Reports (Word)">
    The Reporter specialist creates `.docx` files with:

    * Headings, paragraphs, lists, tables.
    * Images and charts embedded.
    * Table of contents.
    * Footnotes and citations.
    * Styles and themes.

    **Example prompt:**

    ```
    Write a 5-page technical report on our API migration from REST to GraphQL.
    Include architecture decisions, migration strategy, timeline, and risks.
    ```

    The agent generates the `.docx` file and the preview panel shows the rendered document.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="PDFs">
    The agent can create PDF files from:

    * Markdown (converted to a styled PDF).
    * HTML (rendered to PDF).
    * Office documents (exported to PDF).

    **Example prompt:**

    ```
    Generate a PDF report from the markdown file at /reports/summary.md.
    Use a clean professional style with a cover page.
    ```
  </Tab>

## How document generation works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Agent writes content">
    The agent writes the document content in a structured format.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Local engine converts">
    Headmaster's local document engine converts it to the native Office format (`.pptx`, `.xlsx`, `.docx`). No cloud services — your content never leaves your machine for this step.
  </Step>

  <Step title="File saved">
    The file is saved to your project folder.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Preview opens">
    The preview panel opens automatically to show the result.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Editing generated documents

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="In the preview panel" icon="pen">
    For Markdown, code, and HTML — edit directly in the preview and save changes with `Cmd/Ctrl + S`.
  </Card>

  <Card title="In your native app" icon="desktop">
    Open the file in PowerPoint, Excel, or Word. It's a standard Office document — all native editing features work.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

After making external edits, the agent can re-read the file and continue working with the updated content.
