DOCX

DOCX is an Anthropic skill for creating, reading, editing and restructuring Microsoft Word documents while preserving the behaviors users expect from professional office files. It covers formatted reports, tables, images, templates, tracked changes, comments and document validation rather than treating a Word file as plain text.

• Teams producing professional Word deliverables
• Users editing existing .docx files without losing structure
• Legal or business workflows that need tracked changes and comments
• Agents converting structured content into polished Word documents

• Create a report, memo or letter as a formatted .docx
• Edit an existing Word document while preserving its structure
• Insert tables, images, page numbers or a table of contents
• Review or apply tracked changes and comments

The skill chooses the workflow based on whether the document is being created, read or edited. For new documents it uses Word-aware generation patterns; for existing files it works with the document structure directly, then validates and visually renders the output so formatting defects can be caught before delivery.

• Supports both creation and modification of Word files
• Preserves document-specific structures such as headings, tables and revisions
• Encourages visual verification of the final document
• Useful for polished business and office deliverables

• Complex Word layouts may still require manual visual review
• Editing existing documents can be sensitive to Word XML structure
• Legacy .doc files may need conversion before the workflow applies
