Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
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.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
The docx-reader skill enables AI agents to parse and analyze Microsoft Word documents directly. It extracts structured text, tables, and metadata from .docx files to facilitate deeper understanding without manual copying.
When to use it
- Analyze lengthy reports or contracts for specific clauses or data points.
- Extract tabular data from financial statements for spreadsheet conversion.
- Summarize meeting minutes or research papers into concise bullet points.
- Compare content across multiple document versions to identify changes.
Key capabilities
- Reads standard .docx file formats natively.
- Preserves formatting and structural elements like headers and lists.
- Extracts embedded tables and images with associated captions.
- Processes large documents without requiring local installation.
Example prompts
- "Read this attached budget proposal and list all line items exceeding $5,000."
- "Extract the contact information table from this vendor agreement document."
- "Summarize the key findings from this research paper into three bullet points."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure files are standard .docx format for optimal parsing accuracy. Complex layouts with heavy graphics may result in text extraction that loses original visual context.
