docx-to-html
Use this skill whenever the user has a DOCX file (.docx) and wants to convert, read, view, extract content from, or process it in any way — including summarization, displaying in a browser, extracting tables or lists, or feeding into AI pipelines. Always use this skill for any task involving .docx files, even if the request seems simple. Triggers include: 'convert docx', 'open word file', 'read word document', 'extract tables from docx', or any mention of a .docx filename.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bibekyess/docx-to-htmlWhat This Skill Does
The docx-to-html skill is an essential utility for the OpenClaw AI agent, specifically designed to bridge the gap between Microsoft Word documents and web-compatible formats. At its core, the skill utilizes a powerful combination of a Python wrapper and the industry-standard Mammoth.js library to parse .docx files. Unlike basic text extraction, this tool focuses on semantic conversion; it translates document structures—such as hierarchical headings, bulleted lists, numbered items, tables, and character formatting like bold or italics—into clean, well-structured HTML code. This makes the content immediately accessible to web browsers, LLM prompt pipelines, and indexing engines, bypassing the need for heavy desktop office suites.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw CLI:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bibekyess/docx-to-html.
After installation, navigate to the scripts/ directory within the skill folder and execute npm install to ensure the core conversion engine (mammoth.js) is correctly configured. You must have both Python 3 and Node.js installed on your host system for the conversion scripts to execute successfully.
Use Cases
This skill is indispensable for workflows requiring data interoperability. Use it to:
- View Word documents directly within an AI-integrated browser dashboard.
- Ingest structured data from corporate DOCX files into Large Language Models for advanced summarization and Q&A.
- Automate the migration of legacy Word-based documentation into web-ready formats or Content Management Systems (CMS).
- Extract table data from complex reports for further programmatic analysis.
Example Prompts
- "Open the file 'annual_report.docx' and extract all the tables so I can analyze the growth metrics."
- "Convert 'proposal.docx' to HTML format and show it to me in the browser."
- "Summarize the content of the document 'project_specs.docx' for me."
Tips & Limitations
The tool excels at semantic integrity but prioritizes structure over visual "pixel-perfect" layout. Because it embeds images as base64 strings, extremely large documents with high-resolution imagery may result in very large HTML files. Ensure your environment has necessary write permissions in the target directory, as the skill generates new files based on your input. If formatting is not appearing as expected, check the document's original use of standard styles in Microsoft Word, as custom manual overrides can occasionally complicate conversion logic.
