What problem does it solve? Working with Word documents programmatically is error-prone: docx-js cannot open existing files, Word fragments text across XML runs, tracked changes require precise markup, and invalid OOXML produces corrupt files. This Skill provides tested workflows and scripts for creating, editing, reading, and validating .docx and .dotx files. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Document Creation: Generate new Word documents with the docx npm library, with guidance on page size, tables, lists, images, and tables of contents. - Editing & Redlining: Unzip, edit word/document.xml directly, merge fragmented runs for reliable find-and-replace, and manage tracked changes with validation. - Comments & Validation: Add threaded comments with all required satellite XML files, accept tracked changes via LibreOffice, and run XSD schema validation with auto-repair. - Use Case: Redline a contract by unpacking the .docx, wrapping edits in tracked-change elements, then validating with the author flag to confirm every change is properly recorded. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a polished Word report with a table of contents, or to edit and redline an existing .docx contract file.
