DOCX Skill

When to use

Read or review DOCX content where layout matters (tables, diagrams, pagination).
Create or edit DOCX files with professional formatting.
Validate visual layout before delivery.

Workflow

Prefer visual review (layout, tables, diagrams).
If soffice and pdftoppm are available, convert DOCX -> PDF -> PNGs.
Or use scripts/render_docx.py (requires pdf2image and Poppler).
If these tools are missing, install them or ask the user to review rendered pages locally.
Use python-docx for edits and structured creation (headings, styles, tables, lists).
After each meaningful change, re-render and inspect the pages.
If visual review is not possible, extract text with python-docx as a fallback and call out layout risk.
Keep intermediate outputs organized and clean up after final approval.

Temp and output conventions

Use tmp/docs/ for intermediate files; delete when done.
Write final artifacts under output/doc/ when working in this repo.
Keep filenames stable and descriptive.

Dependencies (install if missing)

Prefer uv for dependency management.

Python packages:

uv pip install python-docx pdf2image

If uv is unavailable:

python3 -m pip install python-docx pdf2image

System tools (for rendering):

# macOS (Homebrew)
brew install libreoffice poppler

# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get install -y libreoffice poppler-utils

If installation isn't possible in this environment, tell the user which dependency is missing and how to install it locally.

Environment

No required environment variables.

Rendering commands

DOCX -> PDF:

soffice -env:UserInstallation=file:///tmp/lo_profile_$$ --headless --convert-to pdf --outdir $OUTDIR $INPUT_DOCX

PDF -> PNGs:

pdftoppm -png $OUTDIR/$BASENAME.pdf $OUTDIR/$BASENAME

Bundled helper:

python3 scripts/render_docx.py /path/to/file.docx --output_dir /tmp/docx_pages

Quality expectations

Deliver a client-ready document: consistent typography, spacing, margins, and clear hierarchy.
Avoid formatting defects: clipped/overlapping text, broken tables, unreadable characters, or default-template styling.
Charts, tables, and visuals must be legible in rendered pages with correct alignment.
Use ASCII hyphens only. Avoid U+2011 (non-breaking hyphen) and other Unicode dashes.
Citations and references must be human-readable; never leave tool tokens or placeholder strings.

Final checks

Re-render and inspect every page at 100% zoom before final delivery.
Fix any spacing, alignment, or pagination issues and repeat the render loop.
Confirm there are no leftovers (temp files, duplicate renders) unless the user asks to keep them.

Create beautiful visual art in .png and .pdf documents using design philosophy. You should use this skill when the user asks to create a poster, piece of art, design, or other static piece. Create original visual designs, never copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.

Use this skill whenever the user wants to do anything with PDF files. This includes reading or extracting text/tables from PDFs, combining or merging multiple PDFs into one, splitting PDFs apart, rotating pages, adding watermarks, creating new PDFs, filling PDF forms, encrypting/decrypting PDFs, extracting images, and OCR on scanned PDFs to make them searchable. If the user mentions a .pdf file or asks to produce one, use this skill.

Use this skill whenever the user wants to create, read, edit, or manipulate Word documents (.docx files). Triggers include: any mention of 'Word doc', 'word document', '.docx', or requests to produce professional documents with formatting like tables of contents, headings, page numbers, or letterheads. Also use when extracting or reorganizing content from .docx files, inserting or replacing images in documents, performing find-and-replace in Word files, working with tracked changes or comments, or converting content into a polished Word document. If the user asks for a 'report', 'memo', 'letter', 'template', or similar deliverable as a Word or .docx file, use this skill. Do NOT use for PDFs, spreadsheets, Google Docs, or general coding tasks unrelated to document generation.

Use this skill any time a .pptx file is involved in any way — as input, output, or both. This includes: creating slide decks, pitch decks, or presentations; reading, parsing, or extracting text from any .pptx file (even if the extracted content will be used elsewhere, like in an email or summary); editing, modifying, or updating existing presentations; combining or splitting slide files; working with templates, layouts, speaker notes, or comments. Trigger whenever the user mentions \"deck,\" \"slides,\" \"presentation,\" or references a .pptx filename, regardless of what they plan to do with the content afterward. If a .pptx file needs to be opened, created, or touched, use this skill.

Create and edit Obsidian Flavored Markdown with wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties, and other Obsidian-specific syntax. Use when working with .md files in Obsidian, or when the user mentions wikilinks, callouts, frontmatter, tags, embeds, or Obsidian notes.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take fcakyon/doc from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference pip, uv, brew, apt. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
