fill-form — Fill Word Form Templates
This skill fills in Word document form templates (.docx) with user-provided data. It detects table-based form fields (label in one cell, value in the adjacent cell) and populates them automatically.
When to Use
- User has a
.docxform template with blank fields to fill - User wants to fill in an application form, registration form, etc.
- Document uses Word tables for form layout (label | value cell pairs)
- User mentions 填表, 申请表, 登记表, or wants to automate form filling
Workflow (MANDATORY)
You MUST follow these steps in order:
Step 1: Scan the template
Discover all fillable fields:
python lov-fill-form/scripts/fill_form.py --template <path> --scan
Step 2: Pre-fill from known context
Before asking the user, try to fill as many fields as possible from:
- User memory — name, title, organization, etc.
- Context files — if the user provides reference documents (e.g. STARTER-PROMPT.md, project docs), extract relevant info to fill content-heavy fields
- Conversation context — anything already mentioned
For content-heavy fields (e.g. "主要内容/简介/摘要"), actively compose the content by synthesizing from context files, user's known expertise, and the topic/title.
Step 3: Ask only what you don't know
Use AskUserQuestion to collect ONLY the fields you cannot fill from context.
- Group fields into a single question
- If ALL fields are unknown, list them all
- If the user says some fields can be left blank (e.g. "其他朋友会帮我填"), respect that and leave those empty
- Do NOT force the user to provide every field
Step 4: Fill and save
Write a JSON data file (avoids shell escaping issues with long text), then run:
python lov-fill-form/scripts/fill_form.py \
--template <path> \
--data-file /tmp/form_data.json
Output path rules:
- Default:
<template_dir>/<name>_filled.docx(same directory as the template) - If the template is in a temp directory or system path, save to user's document directory or ask the user where to save
- Use
--outputto override explicitly

How Field Detection Works
- Table-based (primary): Scans all tables for rows with label→value cell pairs. A label cell contains short text (CJK or Latin); the adjacent cell is the value field.
- Merged rows: Detects full-width merged cells with "Label:" pattern as large text areas.
- Paragraph fallback: If no tables found, detects "Label:value" patterns in paragraphs.
Limitations
.docfiles are auto-converted to.docxvia macOStextutil, which loses table structure. For best results, use.docxtemplates directly. If you only have.doc, convert with LibreOffice first:libreoffice --headless --convert-to docx file.doc- Fields are matched by normalized label text (whitespace removed). If a label contains
unusual formatting, the match may fail — use
--scanto verify detection.
Dependencies
python3 -m pip install python-docx
Runtime context (shared)
运行前读取本 Skill 包的 skill.yaml,由宿主提供 skill-runtime/v1 上下文。字段解析顺序为:当前请求、项目上下文、个人 Preferences、品牌 Profile、通用默认值。
- 只使用 Manifest 声明的字段;Profile 保存公开品牌事实,Preferences 保存个人工作偏好。
required: true字段缺失时,按 Manifest 的问题配置向用户提出一个聚焦问题;用户明确同意后再保存回答。- 报错提供可复制的
context_id、字段路径与来源,诊断内容避开秘密、完整私人路径和原始配置。
通用反馈闭环
用户在 Skill 驱动任务中提出修改意见时,继续当前产物前必须执行:
- 先判断意见是
task-specific(仅本次)还是reusable(可跨任务复用)。 task-specific只修改当前任务,不改 Skill。reusable先确定作用域:领域规则先更新对应 canonical Skill;适用于所有 Skill 的规则先更新共享规范。- 完成规则更新、版本、lint 与分发核验后,再把修改应用到当前任务。
reusable修改会使此前的“确认”“继续”“发吧”失效;完成当前产物修改和回读后必须停下,等待用户下一步指示,不自动进入发布、提交或其他外部写入。
