What it does
DOCX is an agent skill from einverne/dotfiles. Comprehensive document creation, editing, and analysis with support for tracked changes, comments, formatting preservation, and text extraction. When Claude needs to work with professional documents (.docx files) for: (1) Creating new documents, (2) Modifying or editing content, (3) Working with tracked changes, (4) Adding comments, or any other document tasks
Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 69 other files, including scripts (for example `docx-js.md` and `ooxml.md`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Word documents. It works with Microsoft Word and python-docx. The repository describes itself as: my personal dotfiles managed by dotbot, zinit.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Word documents
Example prompts
- “/docx”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Node.js
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- MANDATORY - READ ENTIRE FILE: Read docx-js.md (~500 lines) completely from start to finish. NEVER set any range limits when reading this…
- Create a JavaScript/TypeScript file using Document, Paragraph, TextRun components (You can assume all dependencies are installed, but if…
- Export as .docx using Packer.toBuffer()
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c6c0686. 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/, which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pythonapt-getpandocpdftoppmsofficenpmpip
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm and 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 2.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,165 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:193
- **pandoc**: `sudo apt-get install pandoc` (for text extraction) - NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:195
- **LibreOffice**: `sudo apt-get install libreoffice` (for PDF conversion) - NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:196
- **Poppler**: `sudo apt-get install poppler-utils` (for pdftoppm to convert PDF to images)
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 1,165 words (~2,538 tokens).
“A user may ask you to create, edit, or analyze the contents of a .docx file. A .docx file is essentially a ZIP archive containing XML files and other resources that you can read or edit. You have different tools…”
