doc

A guide and workflow for reading, creating, or editing DOCX files, the document format used by Microsoft Word. It includes tools for preserving and checking layout, tables, diagrams, and page breaks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review DOCX documents, create formatted reports, edit existing files, and render them for visual checking before delivery.
Why use it?
It helps catch visual problems that plain text inspection can miss, such as broken pagination or overflowing tables. It also gives a structured way to make document changes.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 B, and why

doc scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/render_docx.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

This is a copy

100% identical to doc — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

DOCX Skill

When to use

  • Read or review DOCX content where layout matters (tables, diagrams, pagination).
  • Create or edit DOCX files with professional formatting.
  • Validate visual layout before delivery.

Workflow

  1. Prefer visual review (layout, tables, diagrams).
    • If soffice and pdftoppm are available, convert DOCX -> PDF -> PNGs.
    • Or use scripts/render_docx.py (requires pdf2image and Poppler).
    • If these tools are missing, install them or ask the user to review rendered pages locally.
  2. Use python-docx for edits and structured creation (headings, styles, tables, lists).
  3. After each meaningful change, re-render and inspect the pages.
  4. If visual review is not possible, extract text with python-docx as a fallback and call out layout risk.
  5. Keep intermediate outputs organized and clean up after final approval.

Temp and output conventions

  • Use tmp/docs/ for intermediate files; delete when done.
  • Write final artifacts under output/doc/ when working in this repo.
  • Keep filenames stable and descriptive.

Dependencies (install if missing)

Prefer uv for dependency management.

Python packages:

uv pip install python-docx pdf2image

If uv is unavailable:

python3 -m pip install python-docx pdf2image

System tools (for rendering):

# macOS (Homebrew)
brew install libreoffice poppler

# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get install -y libreoffice poppler-utils

If installation isn't possible in this environment, tell the user which dependency is missing and how to install it locally.

Environment

No required environment variables.

Rendering commands

DOCX -> PDF:

soffice -env:UserInstallation=file:///tmp/lo_profile_$$ --headless --convert-to pdf --outdir $OUTDIR $INPUT_DOCX

PDF -> PNGs:

pdftoppm -png $OUTDIR/$BASENAME.pdf $OUTDIR/$BASENAME

Bundled helper:

python3 scripts/render_docx.py /path/to/file.docx --output_dir /tmp/docx_pages

Quality expectations

  • Deliver a client-ready document: consistent typography, spacing, margins, and clear hierarchy.
  • Avoid formatting defects: clipped/overlapping text, broken tables, unreadable characters, or default-template styling.
  • Charts, tables, and visuals must be legible in rendered pages with correct alignment.
  • Use ASCII hyphens only. Avoid U+2011 (non-breaking hyphen) and other Unicode dashes.
  • Citations and references must be human-readable; never leave tool tokens or placeholder strings.

Files

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
