DOCX Generator

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• Creating Word documents programmatically from data or specifications
• Populating branded templates with dynamic content while preserving corporate styling
• Extracting text, tables, and structure from existing DOCX files for analysis
• Finding and replacing placeholder text like {{TITLE}} or ${author}
• Automating document generation workflows (reports, contracts, letters)

Do NOT use this skill when:

• User wants to open/view documents (use native Word or viewer)
• Complex mail merge with data sources (use native Word mail merge)
• Working with older .doc format (DOCX only)
• PDF output is needed (use pdf-generator skill instead)

Prerequisites

• Deno installed (https://deno.land/)
• Input DOCX files for template-based operations
• JSON specification for scratch generation

Quick Start

Two Modes of Operation

1. Template Mode: Modify existing branded templates

   • Analyze template to find placeholders
   • Replace {{PLACEHOLDERS}} with actual content

2. Scratch Mode: Create documents from nothing using JSON specifications

Instructions

Mode 1: Template-Based Generation

Step 1a: Analyze the Template

Extract text inventory to understand what can be replaced:

deno run --allow-read scripts/analyze-template.ts corporate-template.docx > inventory.json

Output (inventory.json):

{
  "filename": "corporate-template.docx",
  "paragraphCount": 25,
  "tableCount": 2,
  "imageCount": 1,
  "paragraphs": [
    {
      "index": 0,
      "style": "Title",
      "fullText": "{{DOCUMENT_TITLE}}",
      "runs": [
        { "text": "{{DOCUMENT_TITLE}}", "bold": true, "fontSize": 28 }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "placeholders": [
    { "tag": "{{DOCUMENT_TITLE}}", "location": "paragraph", "paragraphIndex": 0 },
    { "tag": "{{AUTHOR}}", "location": "footer-default", "paragraphIndex": 0 },
    { "tag": "${date}", "location": "table", "tableIndex": 0, "cellLocation": "R1C2" }
  ]
}

Step 1b: Create Replacement Specification

Create replacements.json:

{
  "textReplacements": [
    { "tag": "{{DOCUMENT_TITLE}}", "value": "Q4 2024 Financial Report" },
    { "tag": "{{AUTHOR}}", "value": "Finance Department" },
    { "tag": "${date}", "value": "December 15, 2024" },
    { "tag": "{{COMPANY}}", "value": "Acme Corporation" }
  ],
  "includeHeaders": true,
  "includeFooters": true
}

Step 1c: Generate Output

deno run --allow-read --allow-write scripts/generate-from-template.ts \
  corporate-template.docx replacements.json output.docx

Mode 2: From-Scratch Generation

Step 2a: Create Specification

Create spec.json:

{
  "title": "Quarterly Report",
  "creator": "Finance Team",
  "styles": {
    "defaultFont": "Calibri",
    "defaultFontSize": 11
  },
  "sections": [
    {
      "header": {
        "paragraphs": [
          { "text": "Acme Corporation", "alignment": "right" }
        ]
      },
      "footer": {
        "paragraphs": [
          { "text": "Confidential", "alignment": "center" }
        ]
      },
      "content": [
        {
          "text": "Q4 2024 Financial Report",
          "heading": 1,
          "alignment": "center"
        },
        {
          "runs": [
            { "text": "Executive Summary: ", "bold": true },
            { "text": "This report provides an overview of our financial performance for Q4 2024." }
          ]
        },
        { "pageBreak": true },
        {
          "text": "Revenue Breakdown",
          "heading": 2
        },
        {
          "rows": [
            {
              "cells": [
                { "content": [{ "text": "Category" }], "shading": "DDDDDD" },
                { "content": [{ "text": "Amount" }], "shading": "DDDDDD" },
                { "content": [{ "text": "Change" }], "shading": "DDDDDD" }
              ],
              "isHeader": true
            },
            {
              "cells": [
                { "content": [{ "text": "Product Sales" }] },
                { "content": [{ "text": "$1,250,000" }] },
                { "content": [{ "text": "+15%" }] }
              ]
            },
            {
              "cells": [
                { "content": [{ "text": "Services" }] },
                { "content": [{ "text": "$750,000" }] },
                { "content": [{ "text": "+8%" }] }
              ]
            }
          ],
