Handle Word document (.docx) creation, editing, and analysis with high-fidelity visual review. Use for professional reports, legal documents, and tracked changes. Use proactively when quality and precise formatting are critical. Examples: - user: "Create a professional report in Word" -> use python-docx with render loops - user: "Draft a legal contract with redlines" -> use ooxml redlining workflow - user: "Extract text from this DOCX while preserving structure" -> use pandoc markdown conversion

2. Redlining & Tracked Changes

For legal or business review:

Initialize: Use scripts/document.py. Reference: Read references/ooxml.md for XML patterns.
Procedure: Unpack (unpack.py), edit XML using the Document Library, then Pack (pack.py).
Standard: You MUST only mark text that actually changes. Keep unchanged text outside <w:del>/<w:ins>.

3. Text Extraction

You SHOULD use Pandoc to convert to markdown while preserving structure:
- pandoc --track-changes=all path-to-file.docx -o output.md

You MUST look for clipped text, overlapping shapes, or misaligned margins. 4. **Fix**: Address defects and repeat the loop until the document is visually flawless. </quality_workflow> <technical_workflows> ### 1. Creating New Documents - **Python**: You SHOULD use `python-docx`. Establish hierarchy with HeadingLevel styles. - **JavaScript**: You SHOULD use `docx-js`. **Reference**: See `references/docx-js.md` for syntax. - **CRITICAL**: You MUST NOT use `\n` for line breaks (use Paragraphs). You MUST NOT use Unicode bullets (use numbering config). `PageBreak` MUST be inside a Paragraph. ### 2. Redlining & Tracked Changes For legal or business review: - **Initialize**: Use `scripts/document.py`. **Reference**: Read `references/ooxml.md` for XML patterns. - **Procedure**: Unpack (`unpack.py`), edit XML using the Document Library, then Pack (`pack.py`). - **Standard**: You MUST only mark text that actually changes. Keep unchanged text outside `<w:del>`/`<w:ins>`. ### 3. Text Extraction - You SHOULD use **Pandoc** to convert to markdown while preserving structure: - `pandoc --track-changes=all path-to-file.docx -o output.md` </technical_workflows> <quality_expectations> - **Client-Ready**: You MUST NOT use Unicode dashes (use ASCII hyphens). No internal AI tokens. - **Element Ordering**: In `<w:pPr>`, elements MUST follow schema order: Style -> Numbering -> Spacing -> Indent -> Alignment. - **Visual Fidelity**: Charts and tables MUST be sharp and legible in rendered previews. </quality_expectations> </word_document_professional_suite> </instructions>
