Handles Word document creation, editing, and analysis through a combination of pandoc, docx-js, and direct XML manipulation. Use it when you need to generate professional documents with proper formatting (tables of contents, headings, page numbers), extract content from existing files, or accept tracked changes. The skill is opinionated about implementation details that matter: it defaults to US Letter instead of A4, insists on dual-width specifications for tables to avoid rendering bugs across platforms, and warns against unicode bullet characters in favor of proper numbering configs. It's particularly thorough on the footguns, like how docx-js handles landscape orientation or why you should never use percentage-based table widths if Google Docs compatibility matters.
