DOCX workbench

Use this skill for Word documents and .docx artifacts. A DOCX is a package of XML parts; protect
the package structure and preserve source files unless the user explicitly requests replacement.

Create and edit

1. Inspect an existing document before editing: page size, margins, headings, sections, headers,
   footers, tables, images, comments, and tracked changes.
2. When a template exists, match its styles and layout. Do not impose a new design system.
3. For a new document, set page size and named styles intentionally; use semantic headings, real
   lists, and accessible descriptive text for meaningful images.
4. Save a new output file, then validate package integrity and render it for visual review.

Verification

• Check expected headings, tables, links, and page breaks after generation.
• Inspect at least the first page and each altered page when layout matters.
• Preserve tracked changes and comments by default. Accept, reject, or delete them only with explicit
  user direction.
• If a conversion or renderer is unavailable, say so and leave the document unmodified rather than
  guessing at an XML edit.
