Documents Fast

A Codex skill for creating, editing, reviewing, redlining, commenting on, or extracting from DOCX files as a clearly labelled WORKING result.

What it does

• Preserves the original document and creates a separate working copy.
• Uses bounded structural and visual QA appropriate for drafts, previews, and ordinary iterations.
• Supports native Word structures such as comments, fields, tracked changes, tables, headers, and footers when the requested operation permits them.
• Produces a handoff record for documents-finalize when a release-quality audit is needed.

When to use it

Use this skill for a fast, source-preserving DOCX iteration. Do not use it to claim a document is final, submission-ready, or fully verified; use documents-finalize for that gate.

Install

Clone the repository into your user skill directory:

git clone https://github.com/Yupei-Han/documents-fast "$HOME/.agents/skills/documents-fast"

Restart Codex if the skill does not appear automatically, then check /skills. You can also invoke it explicitly:

$documents-fast create a separate working DOCX that applies these approved edits while preserving the source.

Typical workflow

1. Give Codex the source document and state the authorized change.
2. Receive a separate WORKING DOCX, never an overwritten source.
3. Review the bounded QA summary and any handoff JSON.
4. If a release claim is required, pass the working candidate to $documents-finalize.

Validation

For maintainers, run:

python scripts/self_test.py

Safety boundary

This skill does not silently broaden a request into a scientific audit, final release, or source overwrite. It keeps intermediate evidence outside the delivery location and reports checks that were not performed.
