What is processing-docx?

A tool for working with Microsoft Word files in the .docx format. It can create, edit, annotate, analyze document structure, preserve formatting, and track revisions in contracts, policies, academic papers, and business documents.

Use it to read or create Word files, edit existing documents, preserve formatting, inspect comments and media, analyze their internal XML structure, and produce tracked changes.

It provides a structured way to change or inspect Word documents without treating them as plain text. Tracked revisions make edits visible when working on legal, academic, business, or government documents.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00069	$0.00689
Opus 5	$0.00034	$0.00345
Sonnet 5	$0.00014	$0.00138
Haiku 4.5	$0.00007	$0.00069

Security

Grade A, and why

processing-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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 11 executable files (ooxml/scripts/pack.py, ooxml/scripts/unpack.py, ooxml/scripts/validate.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 — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

DOCX Processing

.docx is a ZIP archive of XML and resources. Different tasks have different tools and workflows.

Workflow Decision

Intent	Workflow	Reference
Read/analyze text only	pandoc → markdown	raw-xml-access.md
Read structure, comments, media, formatting	unpack → raw XML	raw-xml-access.md
Create new document	docx-js (JS/TS)	docx-js.md
Edit own document, simple changes	Document library (Python)	ooxml.md
Edit someone else's document	Redlining (tracked changes)	redlining.md
Legal / academic / business / gov docs	Redlining — REQUIRED	redlining.md
Visual analysis	soffice → PDF → pdftoppm	raw-xml-access.md

Text Extraction (Quick)

pandoc --track-changes=all path-to-file.docx -o output.md
# --track-changes=accept/reject/all

Create New Document

MANDATORY — READ ENTIRE FILE: docx-js.md (~500 lines). NEVER set range limits.
Create JS/TS file using Document, Paragraph, TextRun components.
Export with Packer.toBuffer().

Edit Existing Document (Own, Simple)

MANDATORY — READ ENTIRE FILE: ooxml.md (~600 lines). NEVER set range limits.
python ooxml/scripts/unpack.py <office_file> <output_dir>
Run Python script using Document library.
python ooxml/scripts/pack.py <input_dir> <office_file>

Edit Someone Else's Document → Redlining

See redlining.md for full 6-step workflow with batching strategy and RSID preservation.

Code Style

Write concise code, no verbose variable names, no unnecessary print statements.

Dependencies

Package	Install	Purpose
pandoc	`apt install pandoc`	Text extraction
docx	`npm i -g docx`	Create new docs
LibreOffice	`apt install libreoffice`	PDF conversion
Poppler	`apt install poppler-utils`	`pdftoppm` for images
defusedxml	`pip install defusedxml`	Secure XML parsing

What ships with it

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.
