Book Editor — Real docx track-changes and comments editing for manuscripts, via raw OOXML surgery

Cosa fa

A structural/line/copy/polish four-pass manuscript editing workflow that produces genuine Word track changes and comments by unzipping the .docx, hand-editing document.xml with w:ins/w:del wrappers plus comments.xml, and rezipping — not a plain-text rewrite. Triggers on edit book, edit manuscript, proofread, copy edit, line edit, structural edit, developmental edit, or SPAG check requests.

Rapporto di test

Built a real 3-paragraph .docx and ran the skill's actual unzip/w:ins+w:del/comments.xml/rezip recipe by hand: produced a valid docx with genuine Word-readable track changes and a comment (confirmed via well-formed-XML checks and raw-XML inspection); the same task done the naive way — python-docx text overwrite, which has no track-changes API at all — silently destroyed the original text with zero accept/reject trail for the author.
