name	Build Replacement Dictionary for Word Template Placeholders
description	Use this skill to create the regex patterns and replacement values needed to fill placeholders in a Word template. Organize patterns for easy iteration and ensure proper escaping.

Algorithm

def build_replacement_dict(employee_data):
    return {
        r'{{CANDIDATE_FULL_NAME}}': employee_data['CANDIDATE_FULL_NAME'],
        r'{{POSITION}}': employee_data['POSITION'],
        r'{{START_DATE}}': employee_data['START_DATE'],
        r'{{SALARY}}': employee_data['SALARY'],
        r'{{BENEFITS}}': employee_data['BENEFITS'],
    }

Key Details

• Use raw strings (r'...') for regex patterns
• Patterns should match placeholder text exactly, including braces
• Do not include conditional placeholders (IF_*, END_IF_*) here—handle those separately
• Return a dictionary for easy iteration in replacement loops
