What it does

DOCX Feedback Tracker is an agent skill from aipoch/medical-research-skills. Automatically detect DOCX track-changes history, version rounds, and author feedback to generate a Markdown modification explanation file when you run it on one or more DOCX versions.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `assets/change-log-template.md` and `docx-feedback-tracker_audit_result_v2.json`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Word documents. It works with Microsoft Word. The repository describes itself as: Hundreds of agent skills for medical research, including protocol design, data analysis, evidence insights, and academic writing. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Word documents

Example prompts

  • “/docx-feedback-tracker”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Validate the request against the skill boundary and confirm all required inputs are present.
  2. Select the documented execution path and prefer the simplest supported command or procedure.
  3. Produce the expected output using the documented file format, schema, or narrative structure.
  4. Run a final validation pass for completeness, consistency, and safety before returning the result.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 686e09d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

DOCX Feedback Tracker loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 693 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

DOCX Feedback Tracker

When to Use

  • You receive a DOCX with Track Changes and/or Comments enabled and need a consolidated change log by author.
  • You have multiple DOCX versions (e.g., -v1, -v2, -v3) and want to reconstruct round-based modifications into a single report.
  • A document has no Track Changes, but you still need added/deleted content via version-to-version text diffs.
  • You want to generate a Markdown modification explanation automatically and save it next to the original DOCX files.
  • You need to batch-process a folder of DOCX files and group them by topic into one change-log output per topic series.

Key Features

  • Detect and attribute changes to track-changes authors and comment authors.
  • Extract insertions and deletions from DOCX OOXML (w:ins / w:del) and comments.
  • Fallback to version diffs when track changes are absent (changes are then not attributable to specific authors).
  • Group files by topic series and generate only one <topic>-change-log.md per series.
  • Write output Markdown to the same directory as the inspected DOCX file(s).

Dependencies

  • Python 3.x
  • No additional pinned third-party dependencies are specified in the provided documentation.

Example Usage

Single DOCX file
bash
python script/docx_feedback_tracker.py "path\file.docx"
Multiple DOCX versions (ordered rounds)
bash
python script/docx_feedback_tracker.py "path\file-v1.docx" "path\file-v2.docx" "path\file-v3.docx"
Batch process a directory
bash
python script/docx_feedback_tracker.py --dir "path" --pattern "*.docx"
Output
  • Grouping rule: for the same topic series, only one Markdown file is generated:
    • <topic>-change-log.md
  • Output location: the generated Markdown is saved in the same directory as the DOCX file(s).

Implementation Details

  • Entry script: script/docx_feedback_tracker.py
  • Topic grouping and version-round ordering:
    • Files are grouped by the same base topic name.
    • Unmarked versions are treated as v0.
    • Version suffixes supported:
      • -vN (e.g., report-v2.docx)
      • -N (e.g., report-2.docx) — only applied when a same-name base exists.
    • If suffix-based ordering cannot be determined, files are sorted by file timestamp.
  • Track changes and comments parsing:
    • Extract OOXML change nodes from:
      • document.xml
      • comments.xml
    • Primary markers:
      • w:ins for inserted content
      • w:del for deleted content
  • Diff fallback when no track changes exist:
    • Perform text diffs between versions to compute added/deleted content.
    • Changes from diffs are not attributable to specific authors.
    • Before diffing, text is normalized to reduce false positives:
      • remove link tags
      • merge/normalize whitespace
  • Output generation:
    • Produce a Markdown "modification explanation" and merge all rounds into a single file per topic series.
    • Template reference: assets/change-log-template.md
  • OOXML reference for tracked changes:
    • references/docx-tracked-changes.md

When Not to Use

  • Do not use this skill when the required source data, identifiers, files, or credentials are missing.
  • Do not use this skill when the user asks for fabricated results, unsupported claims, or out-of-scope conclusions.
  • Do not use this skill when a simpler direct answer is more appropriate than the documented workflow.

Required Inputs

  • A clearly specified task goal aligned with the documented scope.
  • All required files, identifiers, parameters, or environment variables before execution.
  • Any domain constraints, formatting requirements, and expected output destination if applicable.
  1. Validate the request against the skill boundary and confirm all required inputs are present.
  2. Select the documented execution path and prefer the simplest supported command or procedure.
  3. Produce the expected output using the documented file format, schema, or narrative structure.
  4. Run a final validation pass for completeness, consistency, and safety before returning the result.

Output Contract

  • Return a structured deliverable that is directly usable without reformatting.
  • If a file is produced, prefer a deterministic output name such as docx_feedback_tracker_result.md unless the skill documentation defines a better convention.
  • Include a short validation summary describing what was checked, what assumptions were made, and any remaining limitations.

Validation and Safety Rules

  • Validate required inputs before execution and stop early when mandatory fields or files are missing.
  • Do not fabricate measurements, references, findings, or conclusions that are not supported by the provided source material.
  • Emit a clear warning when credentials, privacy constraints, safety boundaries, or unsupported requests affect the result.
  • Keep the output safe, reproducible, and within the documented scope at all times.

Failure Handling

  • If validation fails, explain the exact missing field, file, or parameter and show the minimum fix required.
  • If an external dependency or script fails, surface the command path, likely cause, and the next recovery step.
  • If partial output is returned, label it clearly and identify which checks could not be completed.

Quick Validation

Run this minimal verification path before full execution when possible:

text
No local script validation step is required for this skill.

Expected output format:

text
Result file: docx_feedback_tracker_result.md
Validation summary: PASS/FAIL with brief notes
Assumptions: explicit list if any
