Description
Create beautiful, full-width tables in Word documents using the docx npm library. Tables are properly sized, centered, and styled. Use when you need to creat...
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent and appears to do what it says: it provides patterns and example Node.js code for producing well-rendered DOCX tables. Before using it, confirm that the agent environment has the 'docx' npm package (or permits installing it), and be aware the example writes an output.docx file to disk — run in a sandbox or restrict the output path if you have sensitive data or a constrained environment. Because the skill is instruction-only, it cannot install dependencies itself; verify dependency versions and test the example on sample data first. No credentials are requested and there are no other obvious red flags.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pretty-tables
Version: 2.0.0
The skill bundle provides legitimate instructions and code examples for generating formatted Word documents using the 'docx' npm library. The content in SKILL.md focuses on layout best practices (DXA sizing, shading types, and padding) to ensure compatibility between Microsoft Word and Google Docs, with no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (creating docx tables) matches the SKILL.md which is a focused, detailed guide and example code for the docx npm library. No unrelated services, binaries, or credentials are required.
Instruction Scope
Instructions include runnable example Node.js code that writes a file (fs.writeFileSync('output.docx', ...)). This stays within the skill's purpose, but it will write to the agent filesystem if executed — confirm you are comfortable with file writes and paths in your agent environment.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill — no install spec. The examples require the 'docx' npm package, but the skill does not declare or install it. This is low-risk but means the runtime must already have the dependency available or be allowed to install npm packages.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The skill does not attempt to access secrets or unrelated system config.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable. It does not request persistent or elevated privileges nor does it modify other skills or system-wide settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pretty-tables - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pretty-tables - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v2.0.0
**Major update for universal DOCX table compatibility across Word and Google Docs:**
- Requires setting widths in DXA units for both the table and every individual cell.
- Abandons percentage widths entirely for full cross-platform reliability.
- Uses `ShadingType.CLEAR` (not `SOLID`) to ensure cell background colors render correctly everywhere.
- Emphasizes proper cell padding (margins) to improve readability and appearance.
- Introduces updated examples and cheat sheets reflecting the best practices and new requirements.
- Adds troubleshooting guides for common rendering issues.
v1.0.0
