| description | Fill in Word document form templates (.docx) with user-provided data. Reads a template containing tables with label→value cell pairs, detects all fillable fields, and outputs a completed document. Handles CJK/Latin mixed text with proper font switching. Use this skill when the user wants to fill in a form template, complete an application form, populate a Word table form, or automate document filling. Also trigger when the user mentions "填表", "填写表格", "fill form", "fill template", "表格填写", "申请表", "登记表", or has a .docx template with blank fields to fill.

| license | MIT |
| compatibility | Requires Python 3.8+ and python-docx (`pip install python-docx`). Cross-platform: macOS, Windows, Linux. Input must be .docx (recommended) or .doc (auto-converted via textutil on macOS, but table structure may be lost — use .docx when possible).

fill-form — Fill Word Form Templates
This skill fills in Word document form templates (.docx) with user-provided data.
It detects table-based form fields (label in one cell, value in the adjacent cell)
and populates them automatically.
When to Use
- User has a
.docx form template with blank fields to fill
- User wants to fill in an application form, registration form, etc.
- Document uses Word tables for form layout (label | value cell pairs)
- User mentions 填表, 申请表, 登记表, or wants to automate form filling
Workflow (MANDATORY)
You MUST follow these steps in order:
Step 1: Scan the template
Discover all fillable fields:
python lovstudio-fill-form/scripts/fill_form.py --template <path> --scan
Step 2: Pre-fill from known context
Before asking the user, try to fill as many fields as possible from:
- User memory — name, title, organization, etc.
- Context files — if the user provides reference documents (e.g. STARTER-PROMPT.md,
project docs), extract relevant info to fill content-heavy fields
- Conversation context — anything already mentioned
For content-heavy fields (e.g. "主要内容/简介/摘要"), actively compose the content
by synthesizing from context files, user's known expertise, and the topic/title.
Step 3: Ask only what you don't know
Use AskUserQuestion to collect ONLY the fields you cannot fill from context.
- Group fields into a single question
- If ALL fields are unknown, list them all
- If the user says some fields can be left blank (e.g. "其他朋友会帮我填"),
respect that and leave those empty
- Do NOT force the user to provide every field
Step 4: Fill and save
Write a JSON data file (avoids shell escaping issues with long text), then run:
python lovstudio-fill-form/scripts/fill_form.py \
--template <path> \
--data-file /tmp/form_data.json
Output path rules:
- Default:
<template_dir>/<name>_filled.docx (same directory as the template)
- If the template is in a temp directory or system path, save to user's document
directory or ask the user where to save
- Use
--output to override explicitly
CLI Reference
| Argument | Default | Description |

--output | <template_dir>/<name>_filled.docx | Output .docx path |
--scan | false | List all detected form fields |
--data | "" | JSON string with field→value mapping |
--data-file | "" | Path to JSON file with field→value mapping |
--font | Platform CJK serif | Font name for filled text |
--font-size | 11 | Font size in points |
How Field Detection Works
- Table-based (primary): Scans all tables for rows with label→value cell pairs.
A label cell contains short text (CJK or Latin); the adjacent cell is the value field.
- Merged rows: Detects full-width merged cells with "Label:" pattern as large text areas.
- Paragraph fallback: If no tables found, detects "Label:value" patterns in paragraphs.
Limitations
.doc files are auto-converted to .docx via macOS textutil, which loses table structure.
For best results, use .docx templates directly. If you only have .doc, convert with
LibreOffice first: libreoffice --headless --convert-to docx file.doc
- Fields are matched by normalized label text (whitespace removed). If a label contains
unusual formatting, the match may fail — use
--scan to verify detection.
Dependencies
python3 -m pip install python-docx
