How This Skill Works
Official Anthropic skill. Lets the agent produce and modify real .docx files: build documents from scratch, edit existing ones while preserving formatting, work with tracked changes and comments, and extract content.
How it works:
- Bundles a SKILL.md plus Python helpers (python-docx based) that the agent runs to manipulate the document programmatically rather than guessing at XML.
- Activates automatically when a task involves Word documents.
Install via the Claude Code plugin marketplace, or use it directly on paid Claude.ai plans and through the Skills API. See the source for the full implementation and license (document skills are source-available).
