What it does
This skill picks an approach for a .docx request: building a brand-new document with a JavaScript document-building package in TypeScript, editing an existing one by unpacking and editing its XML before repacking it, or reading and extracting text with a Python library kept strictly for reading.
For new documents it lists pitfalls that cause a repair prompt or a wrong layout in Word: page size and margins need explicit units rather than a library default, table columns need a fixed-width unit for predictable rendering across Word, Google Docs, and LibreOffice, and bulleted or numbered lists need a registered numbering setup rather than literal bullet characters typed into a line.
When your agent uses it
- Creating a new report, memo, letter, or proposal as a .docx file
- Editing an existing Word document's content or structure
- Reading or summarizing the contents of a .docx file
Example prompts
- “Create a two-page project proposal as a Word document.”
- “Add a numbered list of action items to this existing .docx.”
- “Summarize the contents of this contract.docx file.”
Requirements
- Node.js with the docx package for creating files
- python-docx or docx2python for reading files
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Page size and margins are in DXA units (twentieths of a point), not inches or pixels. A US Letter page (8.5in x 11in) is { width: 12240…

- A table of contents (TableOfContents) only picks up paragraphs styled with a real Heading style (HeadingLevel.HEADING_1 etc.), never plain…

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a883af6. 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
Word Document Creation And Editing loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 119 tokens; SKILL.md has 636 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 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
- Use this skill whenever the user asks for a Word document, a .docx file, or a report/memo/letter/proposal delivered as one — creating a new document from scratch, editing an existing .docx, or reading/summarizing the contents of one. Covers page layout, headings, tables, numbered/bulleted lists, page breaks, and a table of contents. Does not cover converting a .docx to PDF or .doc to .docx (see file-conversion for what conversions ARE supported in this environment).
Word documents (.docx)
Quick Reference
| Task | Approach |
|---|---|
| Create a new .docx from scratch | docx (docx-js) — write a TypeScript program (packages: ["docx"]) and run it via your coding tool |
| Edit an existing .docx | office-utils: unpack → edit XML → pack (see that skill) |
| Read / extract text from a .docx | python-docx or docx2python (Python, already installed — no pandoc needed) |
Always CREATE documents with docx (docx-js) in TypeScript — never with python-docx. python-docx is in this environment for reading existing documents only. Run the TypeScript program via whatever coding surface you have: the run_code tool directly (language="typescript", packages=["docx"]), or the coding_agent delegate — in that case restate these library/language requirements in its goal. The library is pre-installed in the standard sandbox image, so the install step is an instant no-op there.
Creating a new document (docx-js)
docx-js (npm package docx) builds a document as a tree of JS objects, then serializes it. The hard-won pitfalls below are the difference between a .docx that opens cleanly in Word/Google Docs and one that shows a repair prompt or renders with the wrong layout — verify your generated file against every one of these before considering the task done.
- Page size and margins are in DXA units (twentieths of a point), not inches or pixels. A US Letter page (8.5in x 11in) is
{ width: 12240, height: 15840 }DXA. Always setDocument.sections[0].properties.page.sizeexplicitly — don't rely on the library default, which may not match what the user expects. - Table column widths must use
WidthType.DXA, notWidthType.PERCENTAGE, for predictable rendering. Percentage widths compute inconsistently across renderers (Word vs. Google Docs vs. LibreOffice) when the table has merged cells or nested tables. Compute explicit DXA widths that sum to the usable page width (page width minus left+right margins). - Numbered/bulleted lists need a
LevelFormatnumbering config registered on the document, not literal unicode bullet characters (•,-) typed into a text run. A literal bullet character is not a list to Word — it can't be renumbered, indented, or styled as one. Define anumbering.configwithLevelFormat.BULLET(orLevelFormat.DECIMALfor numbered lists) and reference it from each paragraph'snumberingproperty. - A page break is a property of a
Paragraph, not a standalone element. Usenew Paragraph({ children: [new PageBreak()] })— inserting a barePageBreak()outside a paragraph will fail to serialize correctly in some docx-js versions. - A table of contents (
TableOfContents) only picks up paragraphs styled with a real Heading style (HeadingLevel.HEADING_1etc.), never plain bold text. If the user wants a working, clickable/updatable ToC, every section title must use a heading style — and the ToC itself needs a "right-click → Update Field" note in your response, since docx-js writes the ToC's field code but cannot pre-compute the resulting page numbers without a real layout engine. - Always set explicit
size(half-points) on anyTextRunwhere the default (usually 11pt/22 half-points) doesn't match the user's request — half-points, not points: 12pt text issize: 24.

Editing an existing .docx
Use the office-utils skill's unpack → edit → pack cycle: the document body lives in word/document.xml inside the unpacked tree. Locate the <w:p> (paragraph) or <w:tbl> (table) you need to change, make the smallest edit that achieves the goal, and repack. Do not attempt to regenerate the whole document via docx-js just to change one paragraph — you will lose any formatting/styles the original author applied that aren't represented in your regenerated version.
Reading a .docx
python-docx:Document(path).paragraphs/.tablesfor structured access (paragraph text + style, table cell grids).docx2python: better for a fast, structure-preserving plain-text dump when you just need the content, not to manipulate specific elements.
Both are already installed in the sandbox — no install_packages call needed.
Not supported in this environment
.doc→.docxconversion, and.docx→ PDF rendering — both require LibreOffice, which is not installed in the sandbox yet. Tell the user this rather than attempting a workaround that will silently produce a wrong result.
