A .docx file is a ZIP archive containing XML files. This skill provides tools for creating, editing, reading, and reviewing Word documents.
Quick Route — Read This First
Step 1: Determine task type → load the corresponding route file
Step 2: Determine business scene → load the corresponding scene file (if applicable)
Step 3: Load references/design-system.md for cover recipes, palettes, and chart colors
Step 4: Load references/common-rules.md for shared layout, font, and quality rules
Step 5: Execute per route instructions
Step 6: Run the post-generation checklist
⚠️ MANDATORY — Cover Recipe Enforcement (Step 3):
When creating a document that needs a cover page, you MUST use one of the 7 validated cover recipes (R1–R7) from design-system.md. Free-form cover code is FORBIDDEN. The recipe provides the wrapper table, background, layout structure, border settings, and spacing — do not reinvent any of these.
Workflow: (1) Call selectCoverRecipe(docType, industry) to get recipe + palette → (2) Use the corresponding buildCoverRX() function code from design-system.md → (3) Pass your config (title, subtitle, metaLines, etc.) into the recipe builder. If you skip this and write cover code from scratch, the cover WILL have compatibility issues (blank pages in MS Office, missing borders, overflow, etc.).
Script Path Setup (MANDATORY before any script call)
All CLI tools live in scripts/ relative to this skill's directory. Before calling any script, resolve the absolute path once:
DOCX_SCRIPTS="<skill_directory>/scripts"# ← parent directory of this SKILL.md# Then all commands use $DOCX_SCRIPTS:
python3 "$DOCX_SCRIPTS/postcheck.py" output.docx
python3 "$DOCX_SCRIPTS/add_toc_placeholders.py" output.docx --auto
For Python imports (when generation code needs to import skill modules):
import sys, os
DOCX_SCRIPTS = os.path.join("<skill_directory>", "scripts")
if DOCX_SCRIPTS notin sys.path:
sys.path.insert(0, DOCX_SCRIPTS)
⚠️ NEVER use bare python3 scripts/... — it only works if cwd happens to be the skill directory. Always use the absolute $DOCX_SCRIPTS path.

Post-Generation — Two-Layer Verification
Layer 1: Manual Checklist (self-check during generation)
Basic Format
Line spacing is 1.3x (line: 312) or scene-specific override
CJK body has 2-char indent (firstLine: 480 or 420)
Tables have margins set
Images preserve aspect ratio via image-size — NEVER hardcode both width and height
PageBreak inside Paragraph
ShadingType uses CLEAR
Each numbered list uses unique reference
⚠️ CRITICAL — Quotation marks in JS strings properly escaped. Chinese curly quotes (""'') MUST use Unicode escapes (\u201c\u201d\u2018\u2019); straight quotes ("') use \"\' or alternate delimiters. This is the #1 most common code generation bug. Chinese text frequently contains "" for emphasis or proper nouns (e.g., "双11", "前低后高", "618") — every occurrence MUST be escaped. Failure to escape produces JS syntax errors that silently break document generation.
ImageRun includes type parameter
Header/footer present (unless scene says otherwise)
Heading Styles
All body chapter headings use heading: HeadingLevel.HEADING_X (never simulate with bold + large font)
Cover title may skip Heading style (not in TOC), but body headings MUST use Heading style
Page Break & Blank Page Prevention
Cover/content in separate sections
Three rules to prevent blank pages:
① When using section(NEXT_PAGE), previous section must NOT end with PageBreak (double break = blank page)
② PageBreak paragraph SHOULD contain visible text — exception: section-ending empty para + PageBreak is allowed (normal section separator, e.g., after cover page)
No unwanted blank pages (check each section ending)
TOC
→ See references/toc.md for the complete TOC reference and checklist.
If TOC title exists → TableOfContents element must be present
⚠️ MANDATORY PageBreak after TableOfContents — a Paragraph containing PageBreak MUST immediately follow the TableOfContents element; without it, TOC and body content will render on the same page. This is the #1 TOC formatting failure — never omit it
add_toc_placeholders.py --auto runs after generation; exit code = 0
TOC MUST be in its own section — body section sets page: { pageNumbers: { start: 1, formatType: NumberFormat.DECIMAL } } so page numbers start from the first body page, not from the TOC pages
Page number API nesting — pageNumbers MUST be inside page: {}, NOT at properties top level (see toc.md § Page Number API)
3-section page numbering — Cover (no page#) → Front matter (Roman i,ii,iii, start=1) → Body (Arabic 1,2,3, start=1)
Post-process footers — Roman section footer instrText must contain PAGE \* ROMAN \* MERGEFORMAT; Arabic section PAGE \* arabic \* MERGEFORMAT (WPS ignores pgNumType fmt). ⚠️ NEVER use \* decimal in instrText — decimal is a docx-js API enum value (NumberFormat.DECIMAL), NOT a valid Word field format switch; using it causes page numbers to render as "1decimal", "2decimal". The correct Word field switch for Arabic numerals is \* arabic.
Remove empty pgNumType — Post-process to strip <w:pgNumType/> from cover section (docx-js emits empty element that confuses WPS)
⚠️ TOC Refresh Hint MANDATORY — between TableOfContents element and the PageBreak, MUST add an italic gray note paragraph telling users to right-click TOC → "Update Field" to refresh page numbers (see toc.md § TOC Refresh Hint)
Table Cross-Page
Header rows: tableHeader: true
All rows: cantSplit: true
Title paragraph: keepNext: true
Cover
Cover MUST use a validated recipe (R1–R7) from design-system.md — free-form cover code is forbidden
Cover recipe matches document type (per selectCoverRecipe() in design-system.md)
Cover uses the 16838 outer wrapper table with allNoBorders (all recipes provide this)
Cover title uses calcTitleLayout() — never hardcoded font size above 40pt
Cover spacing uses calcCoverSpacing() — never hardcoded large spacing values
Cover content does not overflow (total height ≤ 15638 twips, Table uses rule: "exact")
Every TextRun on dark/colored background has explicit color set (Rule 9 — never rely on default black)
Cover section has no trailing PageBreak or empty paragraphs
Title lines split at semantic boundaries (no mid-word breaks, no single-char orphan lines)
No text-character decorative lines (───, ━━━) — use paragraph borders only
Layer 2: Automated Post-Check Script
python3 "$DOCX_SCRIPTS/postcheck.py" output.docx
Automatically checks 14 business rules: blank pages, cover overflow (font size/spacing/trailing content), line spacing consistency, table margins, table cross-page control (cantSplit/tblHeader), image overflow, image aspect ratio distortion, font fallback, CJK indent, heading hierarchy, ShadingType misuse, TOC quality, document cleanliness (placeholder text/Markdown/HTML residuals), report content quality (abstract presence/heading specificity/vague conclusion detection).
⚠️ After generating any document, MUST run postcheck.py and fix all ❌ errors.
Math Formulas
Formula input uses LaTeX syntax, internally converted to docx-js Math objects.
