SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually creating, editing, or reviewing professional Word documents with tracked changes, comments, and precise formatting is time-consuming and error-prone, especially for collaborative or formal use cases like contracts, reports, and academic papers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • New Document Creation: Build formatted .docx files from scratch with headings, body text, and custom styling using the docx-js library, ideal for reports, proposals, and official documents.
  • Tracked Changes & Redlining: Implement minimal, precise tracked changes for document reviews, required for legal, academic, business, and government documents where change visibility is mandatory.
  • Content Extraction & Editing: Extract full text from existing documents, modify underlying OOXML for advanced edits, and convert documents to images for visual analysis.
  • Use Case: If you receive a 40-page vendor contract with 15 requested edits, this skill automates the precise OOXML changes to mark only modified text, preserving all existing formatting and comments.

Quick Start

Use the docx skill to create a new formatted project status report with a title, section headings, and bulleted body text, then save it as q3-project-report.docx.
