word-documents

word-documents is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from brightwave-inc/tidebreak. It costs 35 tokens per session (1,717 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A document-making add-on for creating new Microsoft Word files or changing existing DOCX files and templates. It uses python-docx for new documents and edits existing files without replacing their design.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for reports, letters, proposals, and other Word files that people need to edit, print, or share.
Why use it?
It helps avoid losing styles, numbering, headers, fonts, and page settings when updating an existing Word document. It also checks documents before delivery.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

word-documents scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Word documents

Two paths produce a DOCX, and picking the wrong one destroys work. Choose first, then follow that path's section, and finish with the validation section — it applies to both.

Which path

  • An existing .docx is in play — a template, a document the user uploaded, a prior version of this deliverable, a downloaded starting point — edit it in place with the XML pipeline below. Always.
  • Nothing exists yet and there is no template — build the document from scratch with python-docx.

Never rebuild an existing document with python-docx to apply a change. Document() starts from the library's default template, and it cannot reproduce a firm's: the style definitions, numbering, headers and footers, theme fonts, and page setup all come back as generic defaults, so regenerating silently strips the design the user is attached to. A one-line text fix is a one-line XML edit, not a rewrite. Equally, never recreate from scratch what a template already provides — if the user handed you a template, its design is the requirement.

When DOCX is the right format

Reach for DOCX when the user will edit, print, or share the document in Word — a report, letter, proposal, or anything with real formatting. When the user just needs readable text they will consume in the chat or a plain file, a markdown output serves them better than a DOCX: say so and offer the simpler format instead of defaulting to Word.

New documents: python-docx

Install the pinned dependency with its own exec call — commands have a bounded wall clock, and one pip invocation per package stays inside it:

python3 -m pip install --user python-docx==1.1.2

Installs work only when this chat's network policy allows package managers, and they persist for the rest of the conversation. If an install is refused by policy, do not retry: tell the user to enable the package-manager network policy for this chat, and offer the closest format you can produce without the library (markdown or HTML) — only with their knowledge, never as a silent substitution. If a dependency cannot be installed at all, say so plainly instead of quietly delivering a lesser format.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
