minimax-docx

Create, edit, and format DOCX documents via CLI tools or direct C# scripts built on OpenXML SDK (.NET).

Setup

First time: bash scripts/setup.sh (or powershell scripts/setup.ps1 on Windows, --minimal to skip optional deps).

First operation in session: scripts/env_check.sh — do not proceed if NOT READY. (Skip on subsequent operations within the same session.)

Quick Start: Direct C# Path

When the task requires structural document manipulation (custom styles, complex tables, multi-section layouts, headers/footers, TOC, images), write C# directly instead of wrestling with CLI limitations. Use this scaffold:

// File: scripts/dotnet/task.csx  (or a new .cs in a Console project)
// dotnet run --project scripts/dotnet/MiniMaxAIDocx.Cli -- run-script task.csx
#r "nuget: DocumentFormat.OpenXml, 3.2.0"

using DocumentFormat.OpenXml;
using DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Packaging;
using DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing;

using var doc = WordprocessingDocument.Create("output.docx", WordprocessingDocumentType.Document);
var mainPart = doc.AddMainDocumentPart();
mainPart.Document = new Document(new Body());

// --- Your logic here ---
// Read the relevant Samples/*.cs file FIRST for tested patterns.
// See Samples/ table in References section below.

Before writing any C#, read the relevant Samples/*.cs file — they contain compilable, SDK-version-verified patterns. The Samples table in the References section below maps topics to files.

CLI shorthand

All CLI commands below use $CLI as shorthand for:

dotnet run --project scripts/dotnet/MiniMaxAIDocx.Cli --

Pipeline routing

Route by checking: does the user have an input .docx file?

User task
├─ No input file → Pipeline A: CREATE
│   signals: "write", "create", "draft", "generate", "new", "make a report/proposal/memo"
│   → Read references/scenario_a_create.md
│
└─ Has input .docx
    ├─ Replace/fill/modify content → Pipeline B: FILL-EDIT
    │   signals: "fill in", "replace", "update", "change text", "add section", "edit"
    │   → Read references/scenario_b_edit_content.md
    │
    └─ Reformat/apply style/template → Pipeline C: FORMAT-APPLY
        signals: "reformat", "apply template", "restyle", "match this format", "套模板", "排版"
        ├─ Template is pure style (no content) → C-1: OVERLAY (apply styles to source)
        └─ Template has structure (cover/TOC/example sections) → C-2: BASE-REPLACE
            (use template as base, replace example content with user content)
        → Read references/scenario_c_apply_template.md
