Target: Word / DOCX. Based on author documentation.

Use the DOCX Skill in Claude Code

These steps are based on source documentation. We have not run this resource and tool combination.

Systems: macos. Guide prepared: 2026-11-09.

Requirements

  • Claude Code is installed and working. This guide starts on macOS.
  • Use your own test project and prepare three example items without private information.
  • File generation may require runtime dependencies listed in the Skill instructions. Check the original documentation if dependencies are missing.

Setup steps

  1. Add the Anthropic Skills marketplace in a Claude Code conversation.
  2. Install the document-skills plugin. You can also select this marketplace and plugin from the /plugin installation browser.
  3. Request a DOCX task in the project and explicitly create a new output file. Do not overwrite original material.

Add the marketplace in Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills

Install the document Skills plugin

/plugin install document-skills@anthropic-agent-skills

First small task

Use the DOCX Skill to create a new example Word file at output/first-docx.docx, with the heading “Book club preparation” and a bullet list: 1. Confirm the time; 2. Count attendees; 3. Prepare the reading list. Preserve existing files and report the actual output path.

How to check the result

  • Claude Code can find the Skill, with no errors for required dependencies.
  • A .docx file actually exists at the reported output path.
  • Open the DOCX in compatible software and check the heading, three items and readable formatting.

Troubleshooting

Skill not found

Open /plugin and check that document-skills is installed and enabled. Restart the session as the author describes, then explicitly request the DOCX Skill.

Dependency or file permission issue

Check SKILL.md for missing dependencies and the project output path. Use a new test directory without overwriting files.

The response claims a file was created, but it is missing

Ask for the actual path and check it locally. If there is no file, report a blocker rather than completion.

How to disable it

  • Disable document-skills in the installed-plugin section of /plugin. Disabling it does not delete existing output files.
