Audit Microsoft Word (.docx) documents for heading hierarchy, comments, tracked changes, broken cross-references, and style consistency.

  • Works in 3 steps: Run: python scripts/docx_auditor.py… → Review the audit output → Re-run until clean
  • Reviewing a contract draft
  • SKILL.md covers Table of Contents, Keywords, Clarify First and Quick Start, plus 6 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python

What it does

DOCX Toolkit is an agent skill from borghei/Claude-Skills. Audit Microsoft Word (.docx) documents for heading hierarchy, comments, tracked changes, broken cross-references, and style consistency. Use when reviewing a contract draft, preparing a document for handoff, or enforcing a style guide.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/handoff_checklist_template.md`, `assets/style_compliance_template.md` and `references/docx_review_checklist.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Word documents. It works with Microsoft Word. The repository describes itself as: 385 AI skills, 77 expert agents, and 900 stdlib Python tools for every team: engineering, PM, marketing, C-level, compliance, business ops, research, and a LinkedIn toolkit… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing a contract draft
  • Preparing a document for handoff
  • Enforcing a style guide

Example prompts

  • “/docx-toolkit”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run: python scripts/docx_auditor.py document.docx
  2. Review the audit output
  3. Re-run until clean

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a698e8. 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 1 file in scripts/ (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 Toolkit loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 548 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.9k

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.

Docx Toolkit

Audit .docx files using the standard library only — no python-docx required. Reads OOXML directly with zipfile + xml.etree.

Table of Contents

Keywords

docx, Word, Microsoft Word, document, document review, comments, tracked changes, redline, headings, style guide, word count, document audit

Clarify First

Before running the audit, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

  • Audit purpose (pre-handoff cleanup, contract-review triage, or style-guide enforcement) — selects the workflow and the thresholds you apply
  • Recipient (external customer, opposing counsel, internal) — sets the tolerance for leftover comments and tracked changes
  • Allowed style set (for style-guide enforcement) — defines what counts as a non-conforming style

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.

Quick Start

bash
python scripts/docx_auditor.py contract.docx

Outputs: word count, paragraph count, heading hierarchy, comment count, tracked-changes status, hyperlink count, list of unique paragraph styles used.

Core Workflows

Workflow 1: Pre-Handoff Document Audit

Goal: Catch the issues that embarrass a sender — leftover comments, unresolved track changes, broken heading hierarchy — before the document leaves.

Steps:

  1. Run: python scripts/docx_auditor.py document.docx
  2. Review the audit output:
    • Comment count > 0 → resolve or remove before sending
    • Tracked changes detected → accept or reject before sending
    • Heading-hierarchy gaps (H1 → H3 with no H2) → restructure
    • Style sprawl (more than 8 paragraph styles) → consolidate
  3. Re-run until clean

Time Estimate: 5-15 minutes per document.

Workflow 2: Contract Review Triage

Goal: Quantify how much rework a returned contract needs before reading it line-by-line.

Steps:

  1. Run audit on the returned .docx
  2. Comment count > 20 or tracked-change paragraphs > 30% → expect a heavy review pass; schedule time
  3. Comment count < 5 → likely cosmetic; quick turnaround possible
  4. Use references/docx_review_checklist.md for the actual content review

Time Estimate: 1 minute per document for triage.

Show full SKILL.md (236 more words)Show less
Workflow 3: Style-Guide Enforcement

Goal: Detect documents drifting from your style guide before they ship to a customer.

Steps:

  1. Define allowed styles in your style guide (see assets/style_compliance_template.md)
  2. Run audit on candidate documents
  3. Flag any document using styles outside the allowed set
  4. Map non-conforming paragraphs back to standard styles

Time Estimate: 2-5 minutes per document.

Tools

docx_auditor.py

Reads a .docx file as a ZIP archive and parses OOXML directly. No external dependencies.

bash
# Human-readable
python scripts/docx_auditor.py document.docx

# JSON
python scripts/docx_auditor.py document.docx --json

Reports:

  • Word and paragraph counts
  • Heading hierarchy (with gap detection)
  • Number of comments
  • Whether tracked changes are present
  • Unique paragraph styles used
  • Hyperlink count
  • Image count
  • Table count

Limits: This tool reads existing docx files. For generating docx, use the templates in assets/ and edit in Word, or install python-docx separately.

Reference Guides

  • references/docx_review_checklist.md — Pre-handoff checklist; common rework triggers; mistakes that survive automated audits

Templates

  • assets/style_compliance_template.md — Format for declaring allowed paragraph styles
  • assets/handoff_checklist_template.md — Pre-send checklist with sign-off boxes

Best Practices

  • Audit before every external send. A 30-second audit catches 80% of avoidable embarrassment.
  • Resolve comments before "Final v3.docx". Files named "final" with active comments are how lawyers get tickled.
  • Lock heading hierarchy. H1 → H3 with no H2 breaks navigation, accessibility, and table-of-contents generation.
  • Prefer styles over inline formatting. A style change in one place beats hundreds of inline overrides.

Integration Points

  • Pairs with legal/ skills for contract redlines
  • Pairs with marketing/copywriting/ for content review
  • Used by c-level-advisor/board-deck-builder for board-pack documents
