What it does
The skill treats a .docx as a ZIP archive of XML files and picks a method per task: new documents are written with the docx npm library, existing ones are unzipped and edited directly in word/document.xml, and content is read by converting to markdown with pandoc. Scripts handle accepting tracked changes, adding comments and merging text runs.
Much of the guidance is a list of docx-js pitfalls, such as A4 being the default page size, tables needing widths on both the table and every cell, bullets coming from numbering configuration rather than literal characters, and tables of contents only picking up built-in heading styles. After writing a file the agent renders it to PDF with LibreOffice and to page images to check the result, and legacy .doc files are converted first. The SKILL.md is published under a proprietary licence.
When your agent uses it
- Producing a formatted report, memo or letter as a Word file
- Editing an existing .docx without breaking its formatting
- Working with tracked changes or comments in a contract
- Converting content into a polished Word document
Example prompts
- “Write a two-page project memo as a .docx with a table of contents.”
- “Accept all tracked changes in contract-v3.docx and save a clean copy.”
- “Replace the logo in our letterhead template and keep everything else.”
Requirements
- Node.js with the docx package
- Python, pandoc and LibreOffice for reading, conversion and rendering
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 683bc88. 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 14 files in scripts/ (Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pythonpandocnpmpdftoppm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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 Creation and Editing loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 210 tokens; SKILL.md has 633 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Proprietary) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 633 words (~1,717 tokens).
