Install Word (docx) skill

A community skill: it installs from its own repository and your agent runs the project's instructions locally with your own model. SkillGild lists it and credits the author; nothing runs on SkillGild.

  1. With the SkillGild CLI (needs git). It clones anthropics/skills and copies the skill folder into the right place for your agent; use --agent codex, cursor or gemini-cli for other clients.

    Terminal
    skillgild install docx --agent claude-code
  2. Claude Code plugin marketplace.

    Terminal
    /plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills
    /plugin install document-skills@anthropic-agent-skills
  3. Manual copy.

    Terminal
    Clone anthropics/skills and copy skills/docx into ~/.claude/skills/docx (respect the license)
  4. Or copy the folder yourself from anthropics/skills (folder skills/docx) into ~/.claude/skills/docx/ for Claude Code, ~/.agents/skills/ for Codex, ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor or ~/.gemini/skills/ for Gemini CLI, then start a new session.
