What it does
Use this skill whenever the user wants to create, read, edit, or manipulate Word documents (.docx files). Triggers include: any mention of "Word doc", "word document", ".docx", or requests to produce professional documents with formatting like tables of contents, headings, page numbers, or letterheads. Also use when extracting or reorganizing content from .docx files, inserting or replacing images in documents, performing find-and-replace in Word files, working with tracked changes or comments, or converting content into a polished Word document. If the user asks for a "report", "memo", "letter", "template", or similar deliverable as a Word or .docx file, use this skill. Do NOT use for PDFs, spreadsheets, Google Docs, or general coding tasks unrelated to document generation.
DOCX creation, editing, and analysis
Overview
A .docx file is a ZIP archive containing XML files.
Quick Reference
| Task | Approach |
|---|---|
| Read/analyze content | pandoc or unpack for raw XML |
| Create new document | Use docx-js - see Creating New Documents below |
| Edit existing document | Unpack → edit XML → repack - see Editing Existing Documents below |
Converting .doc to .docx
Legacy .doc files are auto-converted on read and write, no manual step needed:
# Reading .doc (auto-converted to .docx internally)
python scripts/office/unpack.py legacy.doc unpacked/
# Writing .doc (auto-converted from .docx)
python scripts/office/pack.py unpacked/ output.doc
LibreOffice is used for the conversion, with automatic sandbox-friendly socket handling.
Reading Content
# Text extraction with tracked changes
pandoc --track-changes=all document.docx -o output.md
# Raw XML access
python scripts/office/unpack.py document.docx unpacked/
Converting to Images
python scripts/office/soffice.py --headless --convert-to pdf document.docx
pdftoppm -jpeg -r 150 document.pdf page
Accepting Tracked Changes
To produce a clean document with all tracked changes accepted (requires LibreOffice):
python scripts/accept_changes.py input.docx output.docx
Creating New Documents
Generate .docx files with JavaScript, then validate. Install: npm install -g docx
