What This Skill Does

Handles reading, creating, and editing .docx files where formatting fidelity matters. Uses python-docx for structured edits and a render pipeline (LibreOffice + Poppler) to visually inspect layout before delivery. Catches formatting defects like broken tables, clipped text, and pagination issues. Manually editing .docx files risks silent formatting breaks that only show up in print or PDF export, and this skill closes that gap by rendering and inspecting the document after every meaningful change.
