# 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
1. 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.
2. Use `python-docx` for edits and structured creation (headings, styles, tables, lists).
3. After each meaningful change, re-render and inspect the pages.
4. If visual review is not possible, extract text with `python-docx` as a fallback and call out layout risk.
5. 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
