docx-cli

# docx-cli `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. ## 0. Make sure the binary is on PATH 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: ```sh bun add -g bun-docx # or: npm install -g bun-docx (needs Bun >= 1.3) ``` No Bun? From this skill folder run `bash scripts/bootstrap.sh`: it resolves the latest release, downloads the prebuilt binary **pinned to that release tag**, and **verifies its SHA-256** against the release's published `SHA256SUMS` before installing — it never pipes a remote script into a shell. (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. ## 1. The contract is `--help` / `docx info` — start there The 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): ```sh docx --help # ev...
