What it does

DOCX is an agent skill from axoviq-ai/synthadoc. Extract text from Microsoft Word documents

Its SKILL.md is about 210 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/__init__.py` and `scripts/main.py`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Word documents. It works with Microsoft Word and Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: Synthadoc: An open-source LLM knowledge compilation engine that turns raw documents into structured, local-first wikis. A transparent, human-readable alternative to traditional… The licence is AGPL-3.0-or-later.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Word documents

Example prompts

  • “/docx”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 66c9089. 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 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pip

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, 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 loads about 207 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 12 tokens; SKILL.md has 29 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~12
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~207

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.
