- description
- Create, read, edit, or manipulate Word documents (.docx) and Word templates (.dotx). Use whenever a build task's artifact kind is document with the default docx output, or the task mentions a Word doc, .docx, or .dotx, extracts or reorganizes content from one, inserts or replaces images, does find-and-replace in one, or works with tracked changes (redlines) or comments. Covers python-docx generation, raw OOXML editing of existing files, document structure and formatting, and render verification. Not for PDFs, spreadsheets, or Google Docs.
Word-document artifacts
A docx is generated with the preinstalled python-docx library from a
generator script. Keep the generator under .src/: it is the editable
source for future revisions, and the binary is always regenerated from it.
Set a non-empty document.core_properties.title, use a human-readable
filename and visible title, and never fake structure: real numbering for
lists (never a literal bullet character), real heading styles for anything a
table of contents must see, a paragraph bottom border for a rule (never a
one-row table), and separate paragraphs instead of newlines inside a run.
Verification
Follow /opt/hatch/skills/artifacts/testing/SKILL.md: render the document to PDF with
headless LibreOffice, rasterize with pdftoppm, and read every page image
before returning a link.
