What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates Microsoft Word tasks on macOS so you can generate, modify, and export documents without manual UI work.

Core Features & Use Cases

• JXA-first Word automation: Discover Word’s AppleScript dictionary concepts and translate them into working JXA/ObjC bridge patterns.
• Find/replace and range-based edits: Perform global search and replacement using Range objects for deterministic document updates.
• Tables, exports, and batch workflows: Create and populate tables, then export documents (e.g., to PDF) and handle multiple files with guardrails like alert/screenUpdating state restoration.
• PyXA alternative guidance: Use PyXA equivalents for common Word operations when you prefer Python.

Quick Start

Tell the AI to open a .docx file, replace all occurrences of "{{CLIENT}}" with "Acme Corporation", and export the result to a PDF.
