Word Doc Tracked Changes
🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-06-08
🔷 SkillSpec L3
pm-essentials
Produce properly-formatted tracked changes for a Word document. Use when asked to redline a document, suggest edits to a contract or document, create tracked changes for review, or mark up a document with proposed revisions. Produces a complete redline with insertions, deletions, and margin comments that can be applied to the source document. Best used with Claude Opus 4.7 or newer for reliable tracked changes handling.
🗣 Say this to your agent
“Redline this contract”“Create tracked changes for this document”“Mark up this document with proposed edits”“Review this and suggest changes in tracked changes format”“Give me a redline version of this draft”
What to give it
▸The document — paste the text or upload the .docx
▸Review type — legal review / copy edit / substantive rewrite / compliance check / plain English rewrite
▸Review scope — full document / specific sections / specific clause type
▸Reviewer role — author / manager / legal counsel / subject matter expert
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Every tracked change has the original text preserved exactly
✓Substantive changes are separated from stylistic changes
✓Comments are written as the reviewer would write them, not meta-commentary
✓Pattern issues identified separately from individual changes
✓Application instructions match the target platform
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not paraphrase original text when creating tracked deletions — the original text must be preserved exactly, character for character, or the tracked change cannot be reviewed against source
Do not mix substantive changes with stylistic edits in the same section — reviewers need to approve substantive changes at a different threshold than copy edits
Do not write margin comments as meta-commentary about the review process ("This section needs work") — comments must be actionable instructions the author can act on
Do not flag every imperfect sentence as a change — over-redlining trains authors to accept changes without reading, which defeats the purpose of tracked review
Do not produce a redline without a summary of top-level changes — reviewers read the summary first and use it to decide which changes to scrutinise in detail
