Create, read, edit, and manipulate Word documents (.docx files) with formatting, tracked changes, and text extraction.
What it does
Same problem as PPTX: Claude generates python-docx code that produces a technically valid Word document with default Times New Roman, no consistent heading hierarchy, and text that doesn't use paragraph styles — meaning the document can't be reformatted or used as a template. This skill loads correct python-docx patterns: proper style application, heading hierarchy, table formatting, tracked changes, and the specific ways Word's format model differs from what you'd expect if you've only worked with HTML.
Use case
Generating Word documents programmatically: client proposals, reports, contracts, or any document that needs to live in .docx format and look professional. Made by Anthropic.
"Generate a project proposal from this outline — formatted as a proper Word document." "Create a contract template with section headings, numbered clauses, and a signature block." "Convert this markdown report to a Word document with correct heading styles." "Add tracked changes to this document showing my edits." "Build a letter template with our company header and standard footer."
Provide content as a description, markdown, or structured data.
Claude generates the .docx file with correct paragraph styles — not just bold text that looks like a heading.
Specify any formatting requirements upfront: fonts, margins, header/footer content.
Input
Content in any format — description, markdown, JSON, or plain text. Optionally include formatting specifications.
Output
A .docx file with correct paragraph styles, proper heading hierarchy, consistent formatting, and table structure. Opens in Word and Google Docs without reformatting.
