SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires defusedxml, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Word .docx files are complex ZIP archives containing XML, making manual creation and precise editing extremely difficult. This Skill eliminates that complexity by providing automated workflows for document generation, tracked changes, comments, and format conversion.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Document Creation: Generate professional Word documents from scratch using the docx-js library with proper styles, tables, lists, and headers/footers.
  • Tracked Changes & Comments: Apply redlining workflows to review and revise documents with precise XML-level tracked changes and comment threads.
  • Text Extraction & Analysis: Convert documents to markdown or images for content analysis and visual inspection.
  • Use Case: A legal team can apply systematic tracked changes to a contract, or a technical writer can generate a formatted engineering specification from structured data.

Quick Start

Use the docx skill to create a new Word document from the project requirements and save it as 'spec.docx'.
