Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: openoffice.org.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

About this skill

What it does

The docx skill enables AI agents to create, edit, and manipulate Microsoft Word (.docx) files. It supports formatting text, inserting images, tables, and other elements commonly found in Word documents.

When to use it

  • Generating reports or proposals that require structured formatting
  • Automating the creation of resumes or cover letters with dynamic content
  • Converting plain text into professionally formatted Word documents

Key capabilities

  • Create new .docx files from scratch
  • Edit existing .docx files, including text and layout
  • Insert images, tables, and hyperlinks
  • Apply formatting such as bold, italic, and font styles

Example prompts

  • "Create a resume in .docx format using the provided data."
  • "Insert a table with three columns into this Word document."
  • "Convert this markdown text to a formatted .docx file."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure that the AI agent has access to the necessary libraries or tools for handling .docx files.
  • Complex formatting may require additional configuration or manual adjustments after generation.
