  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 4 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by borghei on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Docx Toolkit AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/borghei/Claude-Skills/tree/main/documents/docx-toolkit
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/borghei/Claude-Skills.git /tmp/Claude-Skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/Claude-Skills/documents/docx-toolkit .claude/skills/docx-toolkit
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Docx Toolkit in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Docx Toolkit on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Docx Toolkit is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Docx Toolkit

Audit .docx files using the standard library only — no python-docx required. Reads OOXML directly with zipfile + xml.etree.

Clarify First

Before running the audit, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

  • Audit purpose (pre-handoff cleanup, contract-review triage, or style-guide enforcement) — selects the workflow and the thresholds you apply
  • Recipient (external customer, opposing counsel, internal) — sets the tolerance for leftover comments and tracked changes
  • Allowed style set (for style-guide enforcement) — defines what counts as a non-conforming style

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.

Quick Start

bash
python scripts/docx_auditor.py contract.docx

Outputs: word count, paragraph count, heading hierarchy, comment count, tracked-changes status, hyperlink count, list of unique paragraph styles used.

Core Workflows

Workflow 1: Pre-Handoff Document Audit

Goal: Catch the issues that embarrass a sender — leftover comments, unresolved track changes, broken heading hierarchy — before the document leaves.

Steps:

  1. Run: python scripts/docx_auditor.py document.docx
  2. Review the audit output:
    • Comment count > 0 → resolve or remove before sending
    • Tracked changes detected → accept or reject before sending
    • Heading-hierarchy gaps (H1 → H3 with no H2) → restructure
    • Style sprawl (more than 8 paragraph styles) → consolidate
  3. Re-run until clean

Time Estimate: 5-15 minutes per document.

Workflow 2: Contract Review Triage

Goal: Quantify how much rework a returned contract needs before reading it line-by-line.

Steps:

  1. Run audit on the returned .docx
  2. Comment count > 20 or tracked-change paragraphs > 30% → expect a heavy review pass; schedule time
  3. Comment count < 5 → likely cosmetic; quick turnaround possible
  4. Use references/docx_review_checklist.md for the actual content review

Time Estimate: 1 minute per document for triage.

Workflow 3: Style-Guide Enforcement

Goal: Detect documents drifting from your style guide before they ship to a customer.

Steps:

  1. Define allowed styles in your style guide (see assets/style_compliance_template.md)
  2. Run audit on candidate documents
  3. Flag any document using styles outside the allowed set
  4. Map non-conforming paragraphs back to standard styles

Time Estimate: 2-5 minutes per document.

Tools

docx_auditor.py

Reads a .docx file as a ZIP archive and parses OOXML directly. No external dependencies.

bash
# Human-readable
python scripts/docx_auditor.py document.docx

# JSON
python scripts/docx_auditor.py document.docx --json

Reports:

  • Word and paragraph counts
  • Heading hierarchy (with gap detection)
  • Number of comments
  • Whether tracked changes are present
  • Unique paragraph styles used
  • Hyperlink count
  • Image count
  • Table count

Limits: This tool reads existing docx files. For generating docx, use the templates in assets/ and edit in Word, or install python-docx separately.

Reference Guides

  • references/docx_review_checklist.md — Pre-handoff checklist; common rework triggers; mistakes that survive automated audits

Templates

  • assets/style_compliance_template.md — Format for declaring allowed paragraph styles
  • assets/handoff_checklist_template.md — Pre-send checklist with sign-off boxes

Best Practices

  • Audit before every external send. A 30-second audit catches 80% of avoidable embarrassment.
  • Resolve comments before "Final v3.docx". Files named "final" with active comments are how lawyers get tickled.
  • Lock heading hierarchy. H1 → H3 with no H2 breaks navigation, accessibility, and table-of-contents generation.
  • Prefer styles over inline formatting. A style change in one place beats hundreds of inline overrides.

Integration Points

  • Pairs with legal/ skills for contract redlines
  • Pairs with marketing/copywriting/ for content review
  • Used by c-level-advisor/board-deck-builder for board-pack documents

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Docx Toolkit AI skill do?

Audit Microsoft Word (.docx) documents for heading hierarchy, comments, tracked changes, broken cross-references, and style consistency. Use when reviewing a contract draft, preparing a document for handoff, or enforcing a style guide.

Why use Docx Toolkit on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Docx Toolkit is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Docx Toolkit in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/borghei/Claude-Skills/tree/main/documents/docx-toolkit. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Docx Toolkit?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Docx Toolkit?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Docx Toolkit with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Docx Toolkit AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by borghei. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
