What the skill teaches

Anthropic's Word document skill, one of the four document skills behind Claude's own file creation, published in the anthropics/skills repository. It tells the agent how to handle .docx and .dotx files: new documents are generated with the docx npm library, existing ones are unpacked, edited at the XML level and zipped again, and contents are read with pandoc. It lists common layout pitfalls such as page size, table widths and lists, covers tracked changes and comments, converts legacy .doc files through LibreOffice, and has the agent render the result to check it. Helper scripts ship in the skill folder. It installs in Claude Code through the document-skills plugin.
