Sections in SKILL.md
- Verify the output
- Editing existing documents
Limitations to know about
- The skill itself says not to use it for PDFs, spreadsheets or Google Docs, so it will not replace a Google Docs connector or the PDF skill.
- Tracked changes and comments are handled at the file level. Open the result in the editor your recipient actually uses before you send it.
Also: Complex formatting needs a rendered review. This is not a Google Docs connector; inspect the skill license before redistribution.
When it is not the right fit
- The deliverable lives in Google Docs; the skill’s own description says not to use it for Google Docs.
- You need the look of a designed brochure rather than a structured business document.
A small task to start with
This is our suggested evaluation prompt, not a tested result or an installation command.
Turn these approved notes into a Word report with headings, a table of contents and a decision log.
Use non-sensitive sample data first. Compare the answer with the original inputs and record what needed correction before expanding the workflow.
Before you rely on it
- Give Claude an approved outline and say which text is final and which is new drafting.
- Open the generated .docx and check headings, numbering, tables and the table of contents.
- Keep your source notes separate and save the output as a new file.
Where to get started
- Read the upstream skill source, dependencies and license.
- In Claude, check Customize for the relevant skill or plugin. Follow the current official installation guide rather than guessing a Duet command.
- Verify availability in your own environment and run a small, reversible task.
