Carbone is a universal document-generation engine: feed it a template file and JSON file, and it produces pixel-perfect documents at scale. The Carbone Skill teaches AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT the entire Carbone templating language. Describe what you want in plain language and your AI writes correct Carbone syntax, builds templates in DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, HTML or PDF, and validates tags before you render automatically at scale.
Bonjour 👋 I'm Steeve from Carbone. Quick context on why we built this:
Carbone has always been a no-code-friendly way to generate documents (invoices, contracts, reports, certificates, etc...) from a template you create in a text editor, merged with a JSON file. But writing the templates meant learning Carbone's syntax: loops, filters, formatters, conditionals, aggregations and more. Powerful, but a learning curve.
The Carbone Skill removes that curve. It teaches AI assistants the full Carbone language, so you can build templates quickly and automate your documents faster. Once installed, you can:
- Build templates in DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, HTML, CSV, Markdown or PDF just by describing them.
- Generate complex logic in plain language: "show this row only if the client isn't tax-exempt, format the total in euros, hide the VAT line for exempt customers" → it gives you the correct Carbone tags.
- Fix and improve existing templates yourself: paste a Carbone tag or a whole template and the AI corrects the syntax, no support ticket needed.
- Migrate templates from another document tool: the AI translates your existing template's syntax into clean Carbone tags, so switching to Carbone is fast and painless.
- Validate existing tags before you render, catching errors early.
- Work inside the tools you already use: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, VS Code and others.
Tips to use the fewest tokens while getting the best results:
- For HTML templates, use Claude Code (or another coding AI)
- For DOCX templates, use Claude for Word
- For XLSX templates, use Claude for Excel
- For PPTX templates, use Claude for PowerPoint
The Skill is open source on GitHub and updated for every new version of Carbone: https://github.com/carboneio/car...
And once your template is ready, you can automate document generation right inside the tools you already run on: n8n, Make, Zapier, HubSpot, Salesforce, Odoo and more. Build once, then let your documents generate themselves.
Happy to answer anything: syntax, integrations to automate, or what's on the roadmap.
What documents are you automating today? Cheers from France 🍻
