Read, edit, redline, comment on, and create Microsoft Word .docx files. Use to fill out or edit a Word doc, redline a contract with tracked changes, add/resolve comments, replace text keeping its formatting, restyle headings/fonts, edit tables, or read/extract a .docx as Markdown or text. Also BUILD a new .docx — from Markdown or programmatically (code that outputs a Word report with headings, tables, images). Not for PDF, Google Docs, Excel, PowerPoint, or .doc.

In project_charter.docx, there is an existing comment handle c1 regarding the project timeline. I need to post a nested reply stating "Timeline extended by 2 weeks". What command posts this response directly to that comment thread handle?

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
docx is a command-line tool for reading, editing, redlining, and commenting on
Microsoft Word .docx files. It edits the underlying OOXML in place (it never
rebuilds the document from a lossy view), addresses everything with stable
locators, and signals success through an exit code plus a one-line
confirmation — so even small, cheap models can drive it reliably.
Run docx --version. If you get "command not found", install it. Prefer the npm
registry — no shell piping, and the package runs no install scripts:
bun add -g bun-docx # or: npm install -g bun-docx (needs Bun >= 1.3)
No Bun? From this skill folder run sh scripts/bootstrap.sh. It downloads no
scripts and runs no remote code — it resolves the latest release tag from the
GitHub API, downloads that release's prebuilt binary pinned to the tag, and
verifies its SHA-256 against the release's published SHA256SUMS before
installing. (By hand: download docx-<platform> + SHA256SUMS from
https://github.com/kklimuk/docx-cli/releases/latest, verify, chmod +x, put it on
PATH.) Every verb works against the .docx zip directly; only docx render needs
Word (macOS/Windows) or LibreOffice installed.
--help / docx info — start thereThe help text is authoritative and versioned with the binary. This skill is thin on purpose and defers to it. Before doing anything, run (none of these need a FILE):
docx --help # every command + a one-line capability hint each
docx info locators # the addressing grammar — READ THIS, it is the backbone
docx info schema # the JSON-AST shape that "docx read --ast" emits
Then docx <command> --help for any verb before you use it.
