Template-Based Document Generation

Built for recurring Word files from an approved template

This skill fills an existing .docx template with supplied structured data. Its documented tasks include replacing placeholders, populating supported content controls, repeating table rows, formatting values, removing optional sections, and inserting longer text in defined locations. It returns an editable document with a change summary and items that still need attention (gallery description).

That makes the workflow specific enough for recurring proposals, statements of work, customer letters, or project reports where a team has already approved the template. It also checks changes against a plan and flags unsupported or missing values, which gives a reviewer a more concrete handoff than a plain generated file.

Check the platform and template limits first

The skill targets Copilot Studio and requires Python 3.10 or later with local file access. It does not create layouts from scratch, export PDFs, or process spreadsheets; signed and macro-enabled templates are refused, and several Word controls are unsupported. It is a community-provided gallery example, not a general Microsoft document product or an endorsement by Microsoft (gallery terms and scope).

The upstream gallery repository lists an MIT license, but review the skill bundle and its current terms before adapting or redistributing it (repository). Structural checks also do not replace opening the final file in Word to inspect page breaks, table widths, and text overflow.
