This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/docx-official from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.
Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.
This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.
DOCX creation, editing, and analysis
Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Reading and analyzing content, Creating a new Word document, Editing an existing Word document, Converting Documents to Images, Dependencies, Limitations.
When to Use This Skill
Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.
This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: A user may ask you to create, edit, or analyze the contents of a .docx file. A .docx file is essentially a ZIP archive containing XML files and other resources that you can read or edit. You have different tools and....
Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
Use when copied upstream references, examples, or scripts materially improve the answer.
Use when the workflow should remain reviewable in the public intake repo before the private enhancer takes over.

Workflow
This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.
Your own document + simple changes
Someone else's document
Legal, academic, business, or government docs
Get markdown representation: Convert document to markdown with tracked changes preserved:
Identify and group changes: Review the document and identify ALL changes needed, organizing them into logical batches:
Use "Text extraction" or "Raw XML access" sections below
Creating New Document
Use "Creating a new Word document" workflow
Editing Existing Document
Your own document + simple changes
Use "Basic OOXML editing" workflow
Someone else's document
Use "Redlining workflow" (recommended default)
Legal, academic, business, or government docs
Use "Redlining workflow" (required)
Imported: Redlining workflow for document review
This workflow allows you to plan comprehensive tracked changes using markdown before implementing them in OOXML. CRITICAL: For complete tracked changes, you must implement ALL changes systematically.
Batching Strategy: Group related changes into batches of 3-10 changes. This makes debugging manageable while maintaining efficiency. Test each batch before moving to the next.
Principle: Minimal, Precise Edits
When implementing tracked changes, only mark text that actually changes. Repeating unchanged text makes edits harder to review and appears unprofessional. Break replacements into: [unchanged text] + [deletion] + [insertion] + [unchanged text]. Preserve the original run's RSID for unchanged text by extracting the <w:r> element from the original and reusing it.
Example - Changing "30 days" to "60 days" in a sentence:
# BAD - Replaces entire sentence'<w:del><w:r><w:delText>The term is 30 days.</w:delText></w:r></w:del><w:ins><w:r><w:t>The term is 60 days.</w:t></w:r></w:ins>'# GOOD - Only marks what changed, preserves original <w:r> for unchanged text'<w:r w:rsidR="00AB12CD"><w:t>The term is </w:t></w:r><w:del><w:r><w:delText>30</w:delText></w:r></w:del><w:ins><w:r><w:t>60</w:t></w:r></w:ins><w:r w:rsidR="00AB12CD"><w:t> days.</w:t></w:r>'
Tracked changes workflow
Get markdown representation: Convert document to markdown with tracked changes preserved:
MANDATORY - READ ENTIRE FILE: Read ooxml.md (~600 lines) completely from start to finish. NEVER set any range limits when reading this file. Pay special attention to the "Document Library" and "Tracked Change Patterns" sections.
Unpack the document: python ooxml/scripts/unpack.py <file.docx> <dir>
Note the suggested RSID: The unpack script will suggest an RSID to use for your tracked changes. Copy this RSID for use in step 4b.
Implement changes in batches: Group changes logically (by section, by type, or by proximity) and implement them together in a single script. This approach:
Makes debugging easier (smaller batch = easier to isolate errors)
Allows incremental progress
Maintains efficiency (batch size of 3-10 changes works well)
Suggested batch groupings:
By document section (e.g., "Section 3 changes", "Definitions", "Termination clause")
By change type (e.g., "Date changes", "Party name updates", "Legal term replacements")
By proximity (e.g., "Changes on pages 1-3", "Changes in first half of document")
For each batch of related changes:
a. Map text to XML: Grep for text in word/document.xml to verify how text is split across <w:r> elements.
b. Create and run script: Use get_node to find nodes, implement changes, then doc.save(). See "Document Library" section in ooxml.md for patterns.
Note: Always grep word/document.xml immediately before writing a script to get current line numbers and verify text content. Line numbers change after each script run.
Pack the document: After all batches are complete, convert the unpacked directory back to .docx:
grep "original phrase" verification.md # Should NOT find it
grep "replacement phrase" verification.md # Should find it
Check that no unintended changes were introduced
Imported: Overview
A user may ask you to create, edit, or analyze the contents of a .docx file. A .docx file is essentially a ZIP archive containing XML files and other resources that you can read or edit. You have different tools and workflows available for different tasks.
Imported: Reading and analyzing content
Text extraction
If you just need to read the text contents of a document, you should convert the document to markdown using pandoc. Pandoc provides excellent support for preserving document structure and can show tracked changes:
# Convert document to markdown with tracked changes
pandoc --track-changes=all path-to-file.docx -o output.md
# Options: --track-changes=accept/reject/all
Raw XML access
You need raw XML access for: comments, complex formatting, document structure, embedded media, and metadata. For any of these features, you'll need to unpack a document and read its raw XML contents.
word/comments.xml - Comments referenced in document.xml
word/media/ - Embedded images and media files
Tracked changes use <w:ins> (insertions) and <w:del> (deletions) tags
Examples
Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly
Use @docx-official to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.
Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.
Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review
Review @docx-official against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.
Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.
Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution
Use @docx-official for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.
Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.
Example 4: Build a reviewer packet
Review @docx-official using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.
Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.
Best Practices
Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.
Write concise code
Avoid verbose variable names and redundant operations
Avoid unnecessary print statements
Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.

Troubleshooting
Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically
Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/docx-official, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all.
Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Load only the files that materially change the answer, then restate the provenance before continuing.
Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review
Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task.
Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.
Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization
Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better.
Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

When creating a new Word document from scratch, use docx-js, which allows you to create Word documents using JavaScript/TypeScript.
Workflow
MANDATORY - READ ENTIRE FILE: Read docx-js.md (~500 lines) completely from start to finish. NEVER set any range limits when reading this file. Read the full file content for detailed syntax, critical formatting rules, and best practices before proceeding with document creation.
Create a JavaScript/TypeScript file using Document, Paragraph, TextRun components (You can assume all dependencies are installed, but if not, refer to the dependencies section below)
Export as .docx using Packer.toBuffer()
Imported: Editing an existing Word document
When editing an existing Word document, use the Document library (a Python library for OOXML manipulation). The library automatically handles infrastructure setup and provides methods for document manipulation. For complex scenarios, you can access the underlying DOM directly through the library.
Workflow
MANDATORY - READ ENTIRE FILE: Read ooxml.md (~600 lines) completely from start to finish. NEVER set any range limits when reading this file. Read the full file content for the Document library API and XML patterns for directly editing document files.
Unpack the document: python ooxml/scripts/unpack.py <office_file> <output_directory>
Create and run a Python script using the Document library (see "Document Library" section in ooxml.md)
Pack the final document: python ooxml/scripts/pack.py <input_directory> <office_file>
The Document library provides both high-level methods for common operations and direct DOM access for complex scenarios.
Imported: Converting Documents to Images
To visually analyze Word documents, convert them to images using a two-step process:
Convert DOCX to PDF:
soffice --headless --convert-to pdf document.docx
Convert PDF pages to JPEG images:
pdftoppm -jpeg -r 150 document.pdf page
This creates files like page-1.jpg, page-2.jpg, etc.
Options:
-r 150: Sets resolution to 150 DPI (adjust for quality/size balance)
-jpeg: Output JPEG format (use -png for PNG if preferred)
-f N: First page to convert (e.g., -f 2 starts from page 2)
-l N: Last page to convert (e.g., -l 5 stops at page 5)
