CGPT JM/JMR DOCX
Use this skill for submission-style Word manuscripts, especially Journal of Marketing, Journal of Marketing Research, and closely related APA-style marketing/management journals.
This is a Codex-owned copy of the user's Claude/Cowork workflow. Do not edit the Claude source skill set. Use the scripts bundled in this skill unless the active project has newer project-local formatter scripts. The bundled R scripts were resynced on 2026-06-17 from the current Claude/Cowork replicas.
What This Skill Does
- Formats body text, headings, title page/front matter, abstract, captions, footnotes, references, and page setup.
- Formats tables using journal/APA-style rules: no vertical lines, clear top/header/bottom rules, controlled fixed widths, centered tables, and styled table notes.
- Supports Quarto
.qmd to .docx rendering followed by post-processing.
- Supports already-rendered or user-provided
.docx files.
- Provides a direct-creation reference for non-Quarto academic DOCX artifacts through
references/academic_defaults.js.
Bundled Resources
scripts/pvb_format_docx.R: wrapper that renders .qmd when needed, then runs text and table formatting.scripts/pvb_format_text.R: paragraph styles, page setup, front matter, footnotes, and references.scripts/pvb_format_tables_v3.R: table borders, fonts, fixed column widths, alignment, and post-table notes.references/academic_defaults.js: defaults for direct DOCX creation with Node/docx.references/origin.md: source provenance and no-touch boundary.
Standard Workflow
Back up the input if it is a critical manuscript, frozen submission version, or user-supplied file.
- Use
cgpt-backup first when appropriate.
Determine the input type.
.qmd: render to DOCX, then format..docx: format directly..doc: convert to .docx first if tooling is available; otherwise ask the user to provide .docx.
Run the formatter from the Codex skill scripts. On this machine, prefer the known local Rscript path if plain Rscript is not already resolving correctly.
Rscript "C:\Users\sundar\.codex\skills\cgpt-jm-jmr-docx\scripts\pvb_format_docx.R" "C:\path\to\manuscript.docx" --refs=Bibliography-JM --force-refs
& "C:\Users\sundar\AppData\Local\Programs\R\R-4.5.2\bin\x64\Rscript.exe" "C:\Users\sundar\.codex\skills\cgpt-jm-jmr-docx\scripts\pvb_format_docx.R" "C:\path\to\manuscript.docx" --refs=Bibliography-JM --force-refs
For Quarto input:
Rscript "C:\Users\sundar\.codex\skills\cgpt-jm-jmr-docx\scripts\pvb_format_docx.R" "C:\path\to\manuscript.qmd" --refs=Bibliography-JM --force-refs
Use --refs=Bibliography-JM for JM/JMR-style references unless the active project specifies another bibliography style.
Verify output.
- Run
cgpt-render-check on the output DOCX.
- Confirm the formatted file exists and is non-empty.
- Validate table widths and first-column clipping in Microsoft Word when layout matters. LibreOffice/PDF exports can mis-render these DOCX tables and are not a reliable final visual check.
Expected Formatting
- US Letter page setup.
- Academic body text in 12pt font with manuscript spacing and first-line indentation.
- APA-style heading hierarchy.
- Abstract and front matter styled separately from body text.
- References repaired into a bibliography style with hanging indent; JM/JMR mode uses
Bibliography-JM.
- Tables use clean academic rules, no vertical borders, centered alignment, consistent cell padding, and formatted notes.
- The table script now seizes width control:
tblW=5000, fixed layout, rebuilt tblGrid, matching cell widths, tuned column weights, and a 720 twip minimum per column. Do not revert to preserving Pandoc's original column widths; that reintroduces first-column clipping.
- Tables with six or more columns use the wide-table font rule in the current script.
Dependencies
The R formatter requires:
install.packages(c("officer", "xml2"), repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org")
Quarto is required only when the input is .qmd.
If dependencies are missing and installation requires network access, request approval before installing. Do not silently rewrite the workflow in another tool unless the user approves.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom |
Likely Cause |
Action |
| DOCX is locked |
Open in Word |
Close Word and rerun |
officer or xml2 missing |
R packages not installed |
Ask approval to install packages |
| Tables not formatted |
Table script skipped or failed |
Run wrapper again or run table script directly |
| References still look like body text |
Pandoc emitted refs without bibliography style |
Use --refs=Bibliography-JM --force-refs |
| Quarto render fails |
Source or YAML issue |
Fix render first; do not format stale output |
| First column clips or table text disappears |
Stale table script or Pandoc widths preserved |
Use the current bundled scripts; verify XML widths and inspect in Word |
| LibreOffice shows stacked or distorted tables |
LibreOffice rendering limitation |
Do not treat this as authoritative; inspect in Word |
Delivery Checklist
- Backup created when needed.
- Formatter command and flags reported.
- Output path reported.
- Render/integrity check completed or limitation stated.
- Claude source skills left untouched.
