SkillDocs & knowledge

Create clean first-draft Word documents from Markdown using pandoc, with sciClaw auto-applying the bundled NIH reference template unless a custom --reference-doc is provided.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the Pandoc DOCX skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by drpedapati/sciclaw in skills/pandoc-docx/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Use this skill when the user asks to create a new Word document from fresh content.

When to use

  • "create a Word document from this outline"
  • "convert this markdown to docx"
  • "generate a clean manuscript draft in .docx"

Default workflow

  1. Draft content in Markdown (.md).
  2. Convert with pandoc:
pandoc manuscript.md -o manuscript.docx
  1. Keep output clean (no tracked changes) unless explicitly requested.

Critical routing rule

  • For NEW clean documents: use pandoc.
  • For tracked review edits/comments on existing docs: use docx-review.

Notes

  • sciClaw injects PANDOC_DEFAULTS at runtime for DOCX commands and resolves a bundled NIH reference template automatically.
  • If user passes --reference-doc, respect that override.
