SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Word documents often require structured, fillable forms with content controls, protected sections, and merge placeholders. This skill provides end-to-end guidance and tooling to reliably produce Word forms that enforce data capture while preserving layout.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Path A: Pure CLI creation of SDTs with basic protection and optional formfields for simple intake forms.
  • Path B: Advanced attributes via raw-set to inject dropdown items or date formats for complex templates.
  • Path C: Word-template workflows for cases that require signature fields, grouped controls, or custom styling.

Quick Start

Create a new intake form, add two text fields for Name and Email, and apply protection to lock non-field content.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create fillable Word forms with content controls?

This skill provides three paths for creating fillable Word forms: pure CLI SDT creation, advanced raw-set attribute injection, and Word-template workflows. All paths enforce documentProtection=forms to ensure controlled edits in HR onboarding or client contracts.

Can I add dropdown items and date formats to Word form fields?

Yes, you inject dropdown items and date formats via the advanced raw-set path, which allows injecting complex attributes into content controls. This supports building compliance checklists and complex templates requiring specific data formats and controlled edits.

What is the best way to protect non-field content in a Word template?

Enforcing documentProtection=forms with proper alias and tag metadata protects non-field content while allowing structured edits. This lock mechanism preserves layout integrity for HR onboarding templates and client contracts requiring controlled data capture.

Does this approach work for generating HR onboarding and compliance checklists?

Yes, this approach is designed for HR onboarding templates, compliance checklists, and client contracts. It provides end-to-end tooling to produce structured Word forms with real content controls and protection to enforce controlled data capture.

When do I need to use Word-template workflows for creating docx forms?

You use Word-template workflows for cases requiring signature fields, grouped controls, or custom styling in docx forms. This path handles advanced layout scenarios beyond basic CLI SDT creation or raw-set attribute injection for complex form requirements.
