What it does

DOCX is an agent skill from flonat/flonat-research. Create, read, edit, or convert Microsoft Word documents while preserving professional document structure. Use when a .docx file is a primary input or requested output, including tracked changes, comments, images, headings, page furniture, or polished reports and letters. Not for PDFs, spreadsheets, Google Docs, or unrelated coding tasks.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 74 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/docx-js-patterns.md`, `references/xml-reference.md` and `scripts/__init__.py`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Word documents. It works with Microsoft Word, Google Docs and python-docx. The repository describes itself as: Shareable Claude Code + Codex infrastructure for PhD researchers — skills, agents, hooks, and rules for academic workflows.

Requirements

Python 3
Node.js
Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(uv*, pandoc*, node*, npx*, mkdir*, ls*), Read, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Unpack
Edit XML
Pack

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit da27600. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Bash(uv*
- pandoc*
- node*
- npx*
- mkdir*
- ls*)
- Read
- Write
- Edit
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 11 files in scripts/ (Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- uv
- npm
- pandoc
- pdftoppm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv and 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 loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 400 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~4.6k

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 400 words (~1,200 tokens).
