Word documents

This is workflow guidance, not a callable tool. Use the shell or code-execution tool exposed by the active OIX harness. Do not look for a tool named doc.

Workflow

1. Inspect the source before editing. Preserve its structure, styles, identifiers, and branding unless the user asks for a redesign.
2. Use python-docx for creation and structured edits. For unsupported features such as tracked changes or complex comments, edit OOXML deliberately and keep the change narrowly scoped.
3. Write one cohesive script for a substantial change instead of a chain of fragile one-line mutations.
4. Save to a new file while iterating unless the user explicitly asked to replace the original.
5. Verify content by reopening the saved document with python-docx and checking the requested text, tables, and section structure.
6. When layout matters, render every page with scripts/render_docx.py or an available permissive office renderer, inspect the images, fix defects, and render again.
7. If the file is open in Interpreter, call interpreter-app tools builtin-interpreter interpreter_refresh_file --json '{"path":"/absolute/path.docx"}' once after the final write.
