What this skill does
DOCX Skill When to use Read or review DOCX content where layout matters (tables, diagrams, pagination). Create or edit DOCX files with professional formatting. Validate visual layout before delivery. Workflow 1. Prefer visual review (layout, tables, diagrams). If soffice and pdftoppm are available, convert DOCX -> PDF -> PNGs. Or use scripts/renderdocx.py (requires pdf2image and Poppler). If these tools are missing, install them or ask the user to review rendered pages locally. 2. Use python-docx for edits and structured creation (headings, styles, tables, lists). 3. After each meaningful change, re-render and inspect the pages. 4. If visual review is not possible, extract text with python-docx as a fallback and call out layout risk. 5. Keep intermediate outputs organized and clean up after final approval. Temp and output conventions Use tmp/docs/ for intermediate files; delete when done. Write final artifacts under output/doc/ when working in this repo. Keep filenames stable and descriptive. Dependencies (install if missing) Prefer uv for dependency management. Python packages: If uv is unavailable: System tools (for rendering): If installation isn't possible in this environment, tell the user which dependency is missing and how to install it locally. Environment No required environment variables. Rendering commands DOCX -> PDF: PDF -> PNGs: Bundled helper: Quality expectations Deliver a client-ready document: consistent typography, spacing, margins, and clear hierarchy. Avoid formatting defects: clipped/overlapping text, broken tables, unreadable characters, or default-template styling. Charts, tables, and visuals must be legible in rendered pages with correct alignment. Use ASCII hyphens only. Avoid U+2011 (non-breaking hyphen) and other Unicode dashes. Citations and references must be human-readable; never leave tool tokens or placeholder strings. Final checks Re-render and inspect every page at 100% zoom before final delivery. …
