What this skill does


# Markdown to Word (.docx) Skill

Convert Markdown (`.md`) files into professionally formatted Word (`.docx`) documents with embedded PNG images. Uses **pure JavaScript** via the `docx` and `marked` npm packages — no Pandoc, LibreOffice, or any native binary required.

## How to Convert

```bash
# Install dependencies (one-time, from the scripts folder)
cd skills/md-to-docx/scripts && npm install

# Convert (run from workspace root)
node skills/md-to-docx/scripts/md-to-docx.mjs <input.md> [output.docx]
```

If `output.docx` is omitted, it defaults to `<input-basename>.docx` in the current directory.

## Skill Folder Contents

| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `SKILL.md` | This instruction file |
| `scripts/md-to-docx.mjs` | Node.js Markdown-to-Word converter |
| `scripts/package.json` | Dependencies (`docx`, `marked`) |

## Prerequisites

| Requirement | Version | Notes |
|-------------|---------|-------|
| **Node.js** | 18+ | Required runtime |
| **`docx`** | 9+ | Pure JS Word document generator |
| **`marked`** | 15+ | Markdown parser |

No native binaries. No system-level installs. Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

## Features

The converter:

- **Extracts YAML front-matter** — uses `title`, `date`, `version`, `audience` for the title page
- **Generates a title page** — with project name, subtitle, date, version, and audience
- **Generates a table of contents** — built from H1-H3 headings
- **Embeds PNG images** — resolves `![alt](path)` references relative to the input `.md` file, reads the PNG, and embeds it inline in the Word document
- **Styled output** — Calibri font, colored headings (`#1F3864`), styled tables with alternating row colors, code blocks in Consolas
- **Handles all Markdown elements** — headings, paragraphs, tables, code blocks, lists, images, links, horizontal rules

## Image Embedding

The converter automatically embeds PNG images referenced in the Markdown:

```markdown
![High-Level Architecture](diagrams/high-level-architecture.drawio.png)
```

The image path is resolved **relative to the input Markdown file**. The PNG is read, dimensions are extracted from the PNG header, and the image is scaled to fit within 6 inches width while preserving aspect ratio.

If an image file is not found, a placeholder `[Image not found: <path>]` is inserted.

## Front-Matter Format

```yaml
---
title: Project Name — Project Summary
date: 2025-01-15
version: 1.0
audience: Engineering Team, Architects, Stakeholders
---
```

The title is split on `—` or `–` into main title and subtitle for the title page.

jax-development

Included

Use this skill when the user is writing, debugging, profiling, refactoring, reviewing, benchmarking, parallelising, exporting, or explaining JAX code, or when they mention JAX, jax.numpy, jit, grad, value_and_grad, vmap, scan, lax, random keys, pytrees, jax.Array, sharding, Mesh, PartitionSpec, NamedSharding, pmap, shard_map, Pallas, XLA, StableHLO, checkify, profiler, or the JAX repo. It helps turn NumPy or PyTorch-style code into pure functional JAX, fix tracer/control-flow/shape/PRNG bugs, remove recompiles and host-device syncs, choose transforms and sharding strategies, inspect jaxpr/lowering/IR, and benchmark compiled code correctly.

Writing & Docsscripts

nature-article-writer

Included

Drafts, rewrites, diagnostically critiques, and style-calibrates primary research manuscripts for Nature and Nature Portfolio journals. Use when the user wants a Nature-style title, summary paragraph or abstract, introduction, results, discussion, methods, figure legends, presubmission enquiry, cover letter, reviewer response, or when a scientific draft sounds generic, jargon-heavy, structurally weak, or AI-ish and needs precise, broad-reader-friendly prose without inventing data, analyses, or references. Best for primary research articles and letters rather than reviews or press releases unless explicitly adapting one.

Writing & Docsscripts

deckrd

Included

Document-driven framework that derives requirements, specifications, implementation plans, and executable tasks from goals through structured AI dialogue. Use when user says "write requirements", "create spec", "plan implementation", "derive tasks", "structure this feature", "break down into tasks", or "document this module". Also use for reverse engineering existing code into docs (/deckrd rev). Do NOT use for direct code writing — use /deckrd-coder after tasks are generated. Do NOT use when the user only wants to run or fix existing code without planning.

Writing & Docsscripts

clinical-decision-support

Included

Generate professional clinical decision support (CDS) documents for pharmaceutical and clinical research settings, including patient cohort analyses (biomarker-stratified with outcomes) and treatment recommendation reports (evidence-based guidelines with decision algorithms). Supports GRADE evidence grading, statistical analysis (hazard ratios, survival curves, waterfall plots), biomarker integration, and regulatory compliance. Outputs publication-ready LaTeX/PDF format optimized for drug development, clinical research, and evidence synthesis.

handling-sf-data

Included

Salesforce data operations with 130-point scoring. Use this skill to create, update, delete, bulk import/export, generate test data, and clean up org records using sf CLI and anonymous Apex. TRIGGER when: user creates test data, performs bulk import/export, uses sf data CLI commands, needs data factory patterns for Apex tests, or needs to seed/clean records in a Salesforce org. DO NOT TRIGGER when: SOQL query writing only (use querying-soql), Apex test execution (use running-apex-tests), or metadata deployment (use deploying-metadata).

accelint-ac-to-playwright

Included

Convert and validate acceptance criteria for Playwright test automation. Use when user asks to (1) review/evaluate/check if AC are ready for automation, (2) assess if AC can be converted as-is, (3) validate AC quality for Playwright, (4) turn AC into tests, (5) generate tests from acceptance criteria, (6) convert .md bullets or .feature Gherkin files to Playwright specs, (7) create test automation from requirements. Handles both bullet-style markdown and Gherkin syntax with JSON test plan generation and validation.
