Its 'Common Pitfalls' section reads like a postmortem, not marketing copy — it names the exact bug ('references render as [47]-[79] because the counter shares numId with headings') and the exact one-line fix, which is unusually specific for a skill README.

What DOCX Template Translator does
Builds a project-specific Python/OOXML pipeline that reconstructs a document (thesis, dissertation, report) inside a user-supplied Word template, going beyond what `pandoc --reference-doc` can do: cover pages, heading numbering, three-line tables, GB/T-7714 style numeric citations, and captions. Ships two validators (structural + render-level) that catch failure modes like an empty TOC field, a reference counter that starts at [47], or a body header that still reads the sample text. Use for institutional/thesis-grade Word formatting, not simple one-off exports.
