Markdown To DOCX

[IMPORTANT] Use TaskCreate to break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting — including tasks for each file read. This prevents context loss from long files. For simple tasks, AI MUST ask user whether to skip.

Quick Summary

Goal: Convert Markdown files to Microsoft Word (.docx) format with GFM support and proper formatting.

Workflow:

1. Install -- Ensure pandoc is available (required dependency)
2. Convert -- Run pandoc with docx output, apply reference template if provided
3. Verify -- Check output file for formatting fidelity

Key Rules:

• Requires pandoc installed on the system
• Supports GFM tables, code blocks, and images
• Optional reference.docx template for custom styling

Be skeptical. Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence percentages (Idea should be more than 80%).
