Generate, modify, and process Microsoft Word documents with precision.

What it does

Adding this skill enables the assistant to programmatically build, alter, or extract information from .docx and .dotx files. It manages the complexities of the underlying XML architecture, allowing the assistant to handle structured formatting, complex layouts, and content changes within standard Word documents.

The skill provides specialized routines for tasks such as creating formatted reports, updating templates, performing bulk text modifications, or pulling data out of existing documents. It ensures that generated files follow correct document standards, including proper list handling, heading hierarchies, and table styling.

When it earns its place

Reach for it when…

Apply this when you need to produce professional-grade Word documents from scratch, such as internal memos, formal reports, or custom business templates. It is also suitable for extracting content from legacy documents or automating repetitive edits across a batch of files.

Look elsewhere when…

Avoid this for tasks involving PDF files, spreadsheets, or browser-based document platforms like Google Docs. This skill is specifically for Word-native formats and does not provide general-purpose file format conversion or document design services outside of the .docx ecosystem.

What to say to use it

You never invoke a skill directly — the assistant picks it up when your request matches what it covers. These are the kinds of things that do that.

  • Draft a formal memo in a Word document
  • Update the table of contents in this .docx file
  • Extract the text from this word document
  • Create a new report template in .dotx format
  • Replace the placeholder text in my document

Install it

Install for all your projects

Copy the skill directory into your personal skills folder. Claude picks it up on its own the next time your request matches what it does — there is nothing to enable.

bash
git clone --depth 1 --branch main https://github.com/anthropics/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/skills/docx ~/.claude/skills/docx

Install for one project only

Put it in the project's own skills folder instead, so it can be committed and shared with everyone working on that repository.

bash
cp -r /tmp/skills/skills/docx .claude/skills/docx

If a skill of the same name exists in both places, the personal one wins.

Installing on Claude.ai or through the API instead? The full guide covers every surface.

Pair it with an MCP server

DOCX changes how the work is done. These servers change what Claude can reach while doing it.
