Extract text, tables, and headings from Word documents when standard file reading tools fail. The workflow uses Python and python-docx through run_shell to recover document content for further review or analysis.
Use run_shell with python-docx as reliable fallback when read_file fails on .docx files
Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.
When read_file or execute_code_sandbox fails to read .docx files, use run_shell with python-docx as a reliable workaround.
read_file fails, times out, or returns errors on .docx filesexecute_code_sandbox attempts to read the docx failpython -c "import docx; doc = docx.Document('path/to/file.docx'); print('\n'.join([p.text for p in doc.paragraphs]))"
run_shell command="python -c \"import docx; doc = docx.Document('path/to/file.docx'); print('\n'.join([p.text for p in doc.paragraphs]))\"" timeout=60
python -c "import docx; doc = docx.Document('file.docx'); [print(f'P{i}: {p.text}') for i, p in enumerate(doc.paragraphs) if p.text.strip()]"
python -c "import docx; doc = docx.Document('file.docx'); [[print([[cell.text for cell in row.cells] for row in table.rows]) for table in doc.tables]]"
python -c "import docx; doc = docx.Document('file.docx'); [print(p.text) for p in doc.paragraphs if p.style.name.startswith('Heading')]"
Ensure python-docx is available:
python -c "import docx; print('docx available')"
If not installed:
pip install python-docx

Prepare audio stems, the separate parts of a track, for mixing by matching their durations with silence, loops, or crossfades. Verify each generated and processed file before moving to the next production step.
Produce audio in separate stems, meaning individual instrument tracks, and verify each output as you go. Align track lengths with silence, loops, or crossfades, then apply effects, mix a master, and package the files.
Build serverless endpoints that relay external API requests for a dashboard while keeping API keys on the server. Includes Vercel examples for input checks, caching, cross-origin access, and consistent JSON responses.
Produce a master track and separate audio parts through a structured Python workflow. Apply filters and reverb, export WAV files with consistent settings, package them in a ZIP archive, and check that the deliverables meet the requested specifications.
Keep document creation moving when web searches and page retrieval repeatedly fail. The skill preserves the original task, uses the model’s existing knowledge, and clearly identifies information that could not be checked against external sources.
When Python execution repeatedly fails in execute_code_sandbox, use a file-based alternative: save the script, run it through the shell, and capture results or errors. The guidance covers paths, imports, timeouts, structured output, and optional cleanup.
