## Skills

- docx: Work with Microsoft Word `.docx` files using the installed `paper-docx` distribution, which imports as `docx` and extends `python-docx` with inspection, guarded edits, review structures, composition, diffs, and byte-preserving saves.
- pptx: Work with Microsoft PowerPoint `.pptx` files using the installed `paper-pptx` distribution, which imports as `pptx` and extends `python-pptx` with inspection, guarded edits, composition, diffs, and package-preserving saves.
- xlsx: Work with Excel `.xlsx` and `.xlsm` files using the installed `paper-xlsx` distribution, which imports as `openpyxl` and extends it with preservation-aware saves, guarded structural edits, recalculation helpers, diffs, and richer inspection.
