DOCX creation, editing, and analysis

A .docx is a ZIP archive of XML files. Choose your approach by task:

Task	Approach
Create a new document	Write a `docx` (npm) script — see gotchas below
Fill placeholders in a template	`patchDocument({ data, outputType, patches })` from `docx`
Edit arbitrary existing content	Safely unpack → edit the relevant OOXML parts → repackage
Read content	`pandoc -f docx -t markdown --track-changes=all file.docx` for review; `accept` for the accepted text view

Script paths below are relative to this skill's directory.
