DOCX

Part 1: Routing

read file / cat only extracts plain text from .docx — all formatting is lost. If the task involves appearance or structure, use WIR engine's session.read() instead.

Route = What You Have

1. WIR (references/wir-reference.md) — A .docx exists whose format/style matters to the output.

The user provides a template, a document to edit/modify/review/annotate, or any file whose formatting should be preserved or referenced. This file is your output foundation — read it, modify it, fill it.

If the .docx is merely a content/data source (e.g., reference papers, raw data exports) and its formatting is irrelevant, just read file to extract text — that is NOT a WIR case.

.doc format → convert first: libreoffice --headless --convert-to docx

2. md2docx (references/md2docx-reference.md) — When you are the Orchestrator (you have create_subagent and dispatch task) and your sub-agents have returned .md files. Convert their output to a formatted Word document using the md2docx pipeline.

If you do NOT have create_subagent / task tools, you are not an Orchestrator and md2docx does not apply. Do not write markdown yourself and convert with pandoc — the result is mediocre. Use Create (C#) for high-quality output.

3. Create (references/openxml-sdk-reference.md) — Neither of the above.

No target .docx, no upstream .md. Build the document from scratch using C# + OpenXML SDK via ./scripts/docx build.

Validation

• Creation: ./scripts/docx build runs the full pipeline (compile → generate → auto-fix element order → OpenXML validate → business rules)
• Editing: The engine validates internally; after saving, spot-check high-risk areas

Hard Rules

1. No manual markdown-to-docx. Do not write markdown then convert with pandoc. If you are the Orchestrator with upstream .md from sub-agents, use md2docx. Otherwise, always Create (C#).
2. Target .docx exists (template, document to edit, format reference) → always WIR, never rewrite from scratch.
3. Clean up iteration artifacts — no v1/v2/final clutter in the output directory. Deliver clean, clearly named files only.
4. Name output files by topic and match the user's language (e.g., Chinese query → 储能电站分析报告.docx, English query → Energy_Storage_Report.docx). Never output.docx.
5. Language consistency — user's conversation language across all elements (body, headings, headers/footers, TOC, chart labels, filenames).
6. Default to the skill's own toolchain; avoid external libraries unless necessary.
7. After choosing a route, read the corresponding reference file in full before writing any code. Do not skim or skip sections — traps and required patterns appear throughout.

Quality Standards

Low-saturation color palette. Pick ONE hue direction, build 3 tiers: Primary (headings) / Dark (body text) / Light (captions). Never pure #FF0000/#0000FF. Cover text color must contrast with its background AND be visually distinct from body text (larger size, different weight, generous spacing).

Cover/backcover backgrounds. If the document needs a cover, generate a unique background from scratch — read one of the generate_*.py scripts to learn the Playwright + SVG technique, then write your own HTML/SVG with original shapes and colors matching the document's palette. Never reuse or directly call existing background scripts. Cover text must feel like a separate visual space from the body, not just a bigger first paragraph.

Content constraints. Word count target "X字左右" means ±20% is acceptable.

Delivery checklist (verify before delivering):

1. Document opens without errors
2. OpenXML + business rule validation passes
3. Headers, footers, page numbers present and correctly positioned
4. No placeholder text remains ([Company Name], TODO, etc.)
5. All images render (build output shows X images — if 0, images were not inserted)
6. Cover/backcover text visibly contrasts with background
