What it does

DOCX Tracked Changes is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Produce properly-formatted tracked changes for a Word document. Use when asked to redline a document, suggest edits to a contract or document, create tracked changes for review, or mark up a document with proposed revisions. Produces a complete redline with insertions, deletions, and margin comments that can be applied to the source document. Best used with Claude Opus 4.7 or newer for reliable tracked changes handling.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Word documents. It works with Microsoft Word. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to redline a document
  • Suggest edits to a contract
  • Create tracked changes for review
  • Mark up a document with proposed revisions

Example prompts

  • “/docx-tracked-changes”

Workflow steps

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

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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 Tracked Changes loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 111 tokens; SKILL.md has 669 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~111
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

description
Produce properly-formatted tracked changes for a Word document. Use when asked to redline a document, suggest edits to a contract or document, create tracked changes for review, or mark up a document with proposed revisions. Produces a complete redline with insertions, deletions, and margin comments that can be applied to the source document. Best used with Claude Opus 4.7 or newer for reliable tracked changes handling.

Word Doc Tracked Changes Skill

Produces properly-structured tracked changes for a Word document — insertions, deletions, replacements, and margin comments formatted so they can be applied directly to the source document. Built to leverage Opus 4.7 improvements in .docx redlining and tracked changes generation.

Required Inputs

Ask the user for these if not provided:

  • The document (paste the text or upload the .docx)
  • Review type (legal review / copy edit / substantive rewrite / compliance check / plain English rewrite)
  • Review scope (full document / specific sections / specific clause type)
  • Reviewer role (author / manager / legal counsel / subject matter expert)

Output Structure

1. Redline Summary

Document: [Name or identifier] Review type: [As stated] Reviewer: [Role] Total changes: [Insertions: N / Deletions: N / Comments: N] Overall assessment: [1-2 sentences — is this document close to final, or does it need substantial revision?]

2. Top-Level Changes

Changes that affect the meaning or structure of the document:

Change N — [Section or paragraph reference]

  • Original: "[Exact original text]"
  • Suggested: "[Proposed new text]"
  • Reason: [Why this change — substantive/legal/clarity]
3. Line-by-Line Tracked Changes

For each paragraph that needs changes, format as:

[Paragraph reference — e.g. "Section 3, Paragraph 2"]

Original:

[Exact original paragraph]

Tracked changes:

[Same paragraph with deletions marked as strikethrough and insertions marked as bold]

Clean version:

[Final clean text after applying changes]

4. Margin Comments

Comments that flag issues without proposing a specific wording change:

Comment N — [Location] "[Comment text — written as the reviewer would write it. Direct, specific, actionable.]"

Comments are for things like:

  • "This clause conflicts with Section 7 — please reconcile"
  • "Missing definition of [term] used throughout"
  • "Confirm figure with finance team"
5. Stylistic Edits

Line-level stylistic changes (if scope includes copy editing):

LocationBeforeAfterReason
Para 3[Text][Text][Readability/grammar/consistency]
6. Pattern Flags

Issues that repeat across the document:

[Pattern — e.g. "Passive voice overuse"]

  • Instances: [count]
  • Examples: [2-3 specific locations]
  • Suggested approach: [How to address]
7. Review Completeness
Review dimensionCovered
Grammar and syntaxYes / No
Clarity and readabilityYes / No
Substantive accuracyYes / No / N/A
Compliance/legal checkYes / No / N/A
Consistency with referenced documentsYes / No / N/A
8. How to Apply These Changes

Instructions for applying the redline:

In Microsoft Word:

  1. Enable Track Changes (Review tab → Track Changes)
  2. Apply the changes from Section 3 in order
  3. Add comments from Section 4 using Review → New Comment
  4. Send the redlined document back to the reviewer

In Google Docs:

  1. Switch to Suggesting mode (top right pencil icon)
  2. Apply the changes from Section 3
  3. Add comments using the comment button in the margin

Quality Checks

  • Every tracked change has the original text preserved exactly
  • Substantive changes are separated from stylistic changes
  • Comments are written as the reviewer would write them, not meta-commentary
  • Pattern issues identified separately from individual changes
  • Application instructions match the target platform

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not paraphrase original text when creating tracked deletions — the original text must be preserved exactly, character for character, or the tracked change cannot be reviewed against source
  • Do not mix substantive changes with stylistic edits in the same section — reviewers need to approve substantive changes at a different threshold than copy edits
  • Do not write margin comments as meta-commentary about the review process ("This section needs work") — comments must be actionable instructions the author can act on
  • Do not flag every imperfect sentence as a change — over-redlining trains authors to accept changes without reading, which defeats the purpose of tracked review
  • Do not produce a redline without a summary of top-level changes — reviewers read the summary first and use it to decide which changes to scrutinise in detail

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Redline this contract"
  • "Create tracked changes for this document"
  • "Mark up this document with proposed edits"
  • "Review this and suggest changes in tracked changes format"
  • "Give me a redline version of this draft"

Why This Works Better on Opus 4.7

Tracked changes require the model to preserve source text exactly while suggesting alternatives — earlier models would paraphrase the original or lose track of which text was original vs suggested. Opus 4.7 improvements specifically target this workflow.
