What it does

Provides a comprehensive set of workflows and tools for working with .docx Word documents. The skill covers reading and extracting text, low-level OOXML access for precise edits, creating new documents (docx-js), implementing tracked-change/redline workflows, batch edit strategies, and converting documents to PDF or images for review. It includes scripts for unpacking/packing OOXML, guidance on using pandoc to preserve track-changes, and examples for minimal, precise XML edits to preserve RSIDs and revision metadata.

When to use it

Use this skill when the agent needs to: create a new Word document programmatically, perform surgical edits with tracked changes, extract clean markdown from complex .docx files, convert documents to PDFs/images for review, or implement batch doc edits safely. It is the right choice for legal, academic, or business documents where revision history and format fidelity matter.
