Document Format Skills

Use these scripts to clean and format Chinese Word documents from the command line. Prefer scripts/process.py for normal work because it mirrors the desktop app's core pipeline without the GUI.

Quick Workflow

Run one smart pass when the user wants the document cleaned end to end:

uv run --with python-docx python scripts/process.py smart input.docx output.docx --preset official

Run diagnostics only:

uv run --with python-docx python scripts/process.py analyze input.docx
uv run --with python-docx python scripts/process.py analyze input.docx --json

Run only punctuation/spacing cleanup:

uv run --with python-docx python scripts/process.py punctuation input.docx output.docx --space-mode keep_en_boundary

Run only formatting:

uv run --with python-docx python scripts/process.py format input.docx output.docx --preset official

On Windows, .doc and .wps input/output are supported through WPS or Microsoft Word COM automation:

uv run --with python-docx --with pywin32 python scripts/process.py smart input.wps output.wps

Scripts

Script	Use
scripts/process.py	One-shot CLI for smart, analyze, punctuation, and format; handles .doc/.wps conversion on Windows.
scripts/formatter.py	Apply formatting presets, custom JSON settings, page numbers, table cleanup, revision marks, macOS font fallback.
scripts/punctuation.py	Fix punctuation while preserving run formatting; supports spacing strategies.
scripts/from_text.py	Create a DOCX from .txt or Markdown, then optionally run smart formatting.
scripts/analyzer.py	Lower-level diagnostic script.
scripts/converter.py	Windows-only .doc/.wps conversion helpers.

Formatting Options

Built-in presets:

• official: GB/T 9704-2012 style official document formatting.
• academic: academic paper formatting.
• legal: legal document formatting.
• custom: read the active desktop custom preset when available.

Useful flags:

--custom-settings path.json
--revision
--deep-clean
--smart-table-align
--no-page-number
--page-number-style dash|plain|page_text|page_total
--page-number-position outside|left|center|right
--page-number-offset-mm 7
--no-bold-serial

--custom-settings accepts desktop schema v2 config files, exported preset files shaped as {"preset": {...}}, or plain preset/override JSON. For non-custom presets, the JSON is merged over the selected preset.

Punctuation And Spacing

Punctuation cleanup protects URLs, email addresses, Windows paths, time values like 9:30, and standards like ISO 9001:2015. It fixes brackets, colons, semicolons, question/exclamation marks, Chinese comma/period contexts, ellipses, dashes, and paired quotes.

Spacing modes:

• remove_all: delete half-width and full-width spaces.
• keep_en_boundary: remove Chinese-to-Chinese spaces but keep exactly one space between Chinese and English/digits.
• keep_all: leave spaces unchanged.

Text Or Markdown To DOCX

Generate and format a document from text:

uv run --with python-docx python scripts/from_text.py input.md output.docx --title "工作方案"

Markdown mode detects headings, bold spans, ordered/unordered lists, quotes, and fenced code blocks. # becomes the main title, ## becomes 一、, ### becomes （一）, and deeper headings become numbered lower-level headings.

Use --no-process to only create the raw DOCX.

Implementation Notes

• .docx processing needs only python-docx.
• .doc/.wps conversion needs Windows plus WPS Office or Microsoft Word and pywin32.
• Page number handling avoids overwriting non-page footer content and can replace existing page-number footers when requested.
• Default table formatting preserves original alignment; use --smart-table-align for numeric/right and short-text/center alignment.
• macOS font handling keeps installed official fonts when present and falls back to compatible system fonts only when detection confirms the original is missing.
