Hi HNers,

I'd like to share our DOCX plugin for Cowork and Codex.

It uses 2-5x fewer tokens compared to the traditional docx skill because it doesn't write any code nor execute python/node script. It is also much more reliable.

Our DOCX plugin converts docx<->html bidirectionally. This means AI only operates on HTML. AI is excellent and very efficient when it comes to HTML.

Most libraries (if not all) support docx->html, but none supports html->docx. This is what is novel about our approach.

Here's the demo: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UNlUJYwkNX3NiANDkLLb3UoRSms...](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UNlUJYwkNX3NiANDkLLb3UoRSms2dXCU/view?usp=drive_link)

We've been using it in-house for redlining legal documents, and we love it. If you redline docx files, please give it a try: [https://github.com/LegalRabbit-AI/legalrabbit-docx-claude-pl...](https://github.com/LegalRabbit-AI/legalrabbit-docx-claude-plugin)
