Word orchestrate

Word Orchestrator

Overview

The orchestrator is the entry point and coordinator for all word-agent operations. It does not perform document operations itself — it analyzes user intent, selects the right module(s), ensures Document Map availability, and enforces Token budget rules.

Phase 1: Intent Analysis

1. Parse user request — Identify what the user wants to do with which document(s)
2. Check document availability — Use list_available_documents or confirm file path
3. Classify task type:
   • Single-module task → route directly
   • Multi-module pipeline → plan execution order
   • Ambiguous → ask user for clarification

Routing Rules

IF request mentions "对比/compare/diff"
  → word-read (compare mode)

ELIF request mentions "排版/格式/format" AND "检查/check/verify"
  → Pipeline: word-read → word-format → word-check

ELIF request mentions "排版/格式/format"
  → Pipeline: word-read → word-format

ELIF request mentions "修改内容/edit/改写"
  → Pipeline: word-read → word-edit

ELIF request mentions "投稿/submit/清理/clean"
  → Pipeline: word-read → word-check → word-submit

ELIF request mentions "审稿/review/revision"
  → Pipeline: word-read → word-review

ELIF request clearly maps to one module
  → Route to that module directly

ELSE
  → Ask user: "您具体需要对这个文档做什么操作？"

Phase 2: Pre-flight Check

Before routing to any module:

1. File format check — Is the input file .doc (legacy binary format)?

   • YES → run .doc→.docx conversion pipeline:

     a. Verify LibreOffice available: `which soffice`
        - Not found → tell user: "需要 LibreOffice 来转换 .doc 文件。请安装后重试。"
     b. Convert: `soffice --headless --convert-to docx --outdir "{dir}" "{file.doc}"`
        - If same-name .docx exists → save as `{name}-converted.docx`
     c. Post-fix ALL conversion artifacts (MANDATORY):
        python3 scripts/fix_libreoffice.py "{converted.docx}"
        This single command fixes: compatibilityMode, Liberation fonts,
        semicolon fallback fonts, style chain, tables, spacing, page setup,
        AND runs normalize_fonts.py --unify automatically.
     d. Report to user: "已将 {name}.doc 转换为 .docx 并修复格式兼容性问题。后续操作基于转换后的文件。"
     e. Update file_path to point to the new .docx
     

     See references/doc_conversion.md for details.
   • NO (already .docx) → continue

2. Document Map check — 先查落盘的 map 文件（不依赖对话上下文）:

   a. Glob: {文档所在目录}/.word-agent/{文档名去扩展名}.map.md
   b. 文件存在 → 比较 mtime（Bash 测试 map 是否比 docx 新）:
      if [ "{dir}/.word-agent/{name}.map.md" -nt "{dir}/{name}.docx" ]; then echo VALID; else echo STALE; fi
      - VALID（map 的 mtime 晚于 docx 的 mtime）→ map 有效：
        Read 该文件，并将其内容注入目标模块的 prompt
      - STALE（docx 在 map 之后被修改过）→ map 已过期 → 派 word-read 重新生成
   c. 文件不存在 → 派 word-read 先生成（除非任务本身就是 word-read）
   

   word-read 生成的 map 总是写入上述路径（见 word-read SKILL Step 7），跨会话可复用。

3. Format Spec check — Does the task require formatting rules?

   • YES → check if user has provided format requirements
   • NO format requirements yet → ask user: "请提供格式要求文档（Word/PDF/文字描述均可）"
   • If format requirements are a Word document → remind downstream modules to extract text box content (format templates often place formatting instructions inside text boxes, which standard text extraction tools skip entirely)

4. Token budget assessment — Estimate operation scale:

   • Small (< 5 changes) → proceed directly
   • Medium (5-20 changes) → show plan, ask confirmation
   • Large (20+ changes) → show plan with estimated scope, ask confirmation

5. Editing mode detection — Is Word open with the target document?

   • Check via mcp__word-mcp-live__get_active_document() (if word-mcp-live available)
   • Word open with target doc → set mode = "live"
     • Inform downstream: use word-mcp-live for all write operations
     • Font normalization will be deferred (file locked by Word)
     • Undo support available via word-mcp-live
     • Do NOT use word-document-server write tools on the same file
   • Word not open → set mode = "file" (default)
     • Use standard tool routing (word-document-server primary)
     • Font normalization runs immediately after operations
   • word-mcp-live unavailable → set mode = "file" (no detection possible)

   See references/live_editing.md for platform support and mode rules.

Phase 3: Execution

Single Module

Route to the module with:

• Document Map (if available)
• Format Spec (if applicable)
• User's specific instructions

Pipeline (Multi-Module)

Execute modules in order:

1. Run module A → collect output
2. Pass output + Document Map to module B
3. Continue chain
4. Report final results

Error Handling

• If a module reports failure → check error type
• If recoverable → suggest alternative approach
• If not recoverable → report to user with explanation

Phase 4: Post-Execution

MANDATORY: Font Normalization Gate

Before returning ANY modified document to the user, the orchestrator MUST run font normalization. This is a non-negotiable final step that applies to ALL document-modifying pipelines (word-format, word-edit, word-table-figure, word-reference, word-review). It is NOT optional, NOT advisory, and MUST NOT be skipped.

File Mode (default)

python3 scripts/normalize_fonts.py "{file_path}" --unify --cn "{cn_font}" --en "{en_font}"

Default fonts: --cn 宋体 --en "Times New Roman" unless the user specified otherwise.

If the user provided custom font requirements (e.g., "正文用楷体"), use those instead:

python3 scripts/normalize_fonts.py "{file_path}" --unify --cn 楷体 --en "Times New Roman"

Live Mode (Word is open)

python3 scripts/normalize_fonts.py "{file_path}" --check-lock --unify --cn "{cn_font}" --en "{en_font}"

• If exit code 0: normalization succeeded (file was unlocked momentarily)
• If exit code 2: file is locked by Word → defer normalization
  • Warn user: "字体归一化已延迟——Word 正在使用此文件。请关闭 Word 后运行，或在下次操作时自动执行。"
  • Track as pending: pending_normalization = true for this file path
  • On next interaction with same file: check lock again and run if possible

This gate fixes:

• Theme font references in styles.xml (the #1 cause of font chaos)
• Bare runs with no font attributes (inherit wrong fonts from theme)
• Missing eastAsia attributes from MCP tool writes
• Mixed fonts within paragraphs from multiple write operations

Do NOT report this step to the user unless issues were found (file mode) or normalization was deferred (live mode).

Follow-up

1. Suggest next step — Based on workflow table in docs/CLAUDE.md
2. Report Token usage — If the operation was large, note what was saved by caching

What This Skill Does NOT Do

• Does not read, edit, or format documents directly
• Does not generate Document Maps (that's word-read)
• Does not make assumptions about formatting rules
