docx

docx is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills. It costs 184 tokens per session (1,849 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A toolkit for creating, reading and editing Microsoft Word documents and templates in DOCX or DOTX format. It covers document text, structure and formatting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating formatted Word documents, editing existing files, reading document text, working with templates and producing elements such as headings, tables and tables of contents.
Why use it?
It provides document-specific handling for tasks that plain text tools cannot preserve, such as headings, tables and page layout. It can also extract existing document content for analysis.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is (cd unpacked && rm -f ../out.docx && zip -Xr ../out.docx .).

Good fit Creating formatted Word documents, editing existing files, reading document text, working with templates and producing elements such as headings, tables and tables of contents.

About the project

Scientific Agent Skills is a collection of reusable procedures that give AI agents capabilities for scientific research across areas such as biology, chemistry, medicine, and drug discovery. It is used by researchers and by people building AI scientist workflows with compatible coding agents. The catalogue contains many of the project's skills and supporting instructions.

Install

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Tool Misuse · line 60
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.
  • high Tool Misuse · line 60
    Tool calls are chained to bypass individual safety checks or escalate capabilities beyond what any single tool call would allow.
    Fix: Limit tool chaining depth and validate the output of each tool before passing it to the next. Require explicit user approval for multi-step chains.

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

docx 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 15 executable files (scripts/__init__.py, scripts/accept_changes.py, scripts/comment.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.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

DOCX creation, editing, and analysis

A .docx is a ZIP archive of XML files. Choose your approach by task:

Task Approach
Create a new document Write a docx (npm) script — see gotchas below
Edit an existing document unzip → edit word/document.xmlzip (docx-js cannot open existing files)
Read content pandoc -t markdown file.docx

Script paths below are relative to this skill's directory.

Creating with docx-js — gotchas

docx is preinstalled — do not run npm install first; write the script and require('docx') directly. Only if that require fails: npm install docx. The model knows the API; these are the footguns:

  • Page size defaults to A4. For US Letter set page: { size: { width: 12240, height: 15840 } } (DXA; 1440 = 1″).
  • Landscape: pass portrait dimensions and orientation: PageOrientation.LANDSCAPE — docx-js swaps width/height internally.
  • Tables need dual widths: set columnWidths on the table AND width on every cell, both in WidthType.DXA (PERCENTAGE breaks in Google Docs). Column widths must sum to the table width.
  • Table shading: use ShadingType.CLEAR, never SOLID (renders black).
  • Lists: never insert literally; use a numbering config with LevelFormat.BULLET.
  • ImageRun requires type: ("png", "jpg", …).
  • PageBreak must be inside a Paragraph.
  • Never use \n — use separate Paragraph elements.
  • TOC: headings must use built-in HeadingLevel.*; custom heading styles need outlineLevel set or they won't appear.
  • Don't use a table as a horizontal rule — use a paragraph bottom border instead.
  • Dot-leader / right-aligned-on-same-line: use PositionalTab (alignment: PositionalTabAlignment.RIGHT, leader: PositionalTabLeader.DOT) inside a TextRun, not literal . or space padding.

Verify the output

After writing a .docx, render it and look at it:

python scripts/office/soffice.py --headless --convert-to pdf output.docx
pdftoppm -jpeg -r 100 output.pdf page
ls page-*.jpg   # then Read the images

What ships with it

60 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.
