This is a prototype connector that lets Claude read and write Word documents while preserving formatting, headers, tables, and layout instead of treating them like plain text. You'd reach for this when you need to generate reports, edit existing .docx files, or work with structured documents where formatting matters. It's pulled from OpenAI's skills repository, so you're getting their reference implementation. The listing acts as a pointer, you still need to install the actual upstream bundle from GitHub to get the working code. Worth noting it's marked prototype, so expect some rough edges if you're doing anything complex with heavily styled documents.

How to use

This catalogue entry advertises the skill in OpenDesign so the agent discovers it during planning. To run the full upstream workflow with its original assets, scripts, and references, install the upstream bundle into your active agent's skills directory:

# Inspect the upstream README for exact paths
open https://github.com/openai/skills

Then ask the agent to invoke this skill by name (doc) or with one of the trigger phrases listed in this skill's frontmatter.
