Overview
Anthropic's docx skill is the set of instructions and scripts behind Claude's ability to make and edit Word documents. Ask for a report, memo, letter or template and you get a .docx file with headings, tables, page numbers or a table of contents; give it an existing file and it can change the text, add comments or mark edits as tracked changes. It works in the Claude apps once file creation is turned on, and can be added to Claude Code as a plugin.
It can mark edits to an existing file as tracked changes and comments you accept or reject in Word, instead of handing back a rebuilt copy.

|---|---|---|
| New documents | Word files with headings, tables, lists, images, page numbers and a table of contents | Your files |
| Editing | Changes text inside an existing .docx without rebuilding it | Your files |
| Tracked changes | Marks insertions and deletions as revisions you can accept or reject in Word | Your files |

| Layout check | Renders the file to page images to see how it looks | Your files |
Good to know
Produce a formatted Word document, such as a memo with headings, a table and page numbers, or revise a contract in place with tracked changes and comments. The skill renders the file to page images to check the layout before handing it over.
Limits
- The skill is source-available under Anthropic's terms, not open source: it may be used only within Anthropic's services, and copying or redistributing it is not allowed.
- Anthropic notes that Claude's built-in behaviour may differ from the published version. In Claude Code, editing and preview steps need pandoc, LibreOffice and Poppler on your computer.
