Journey fit
Spans multiple journey phases - primary shelf plus alternate fits below.
Primary shelf is Build/docs because deliverables are Word artifacts agents create while specifying and documenting the product. Tracked-change docx output is documentation and review collateral, not distribution SEO or production monitoring.
Where it fits
Draft a scope docx with tracked changes for a client sign-off before coding starts.
Maintain a living copy doc synced with UI strings and marketing claims.
Export a comment-heavy Word packet for final stakeholder review before release.
How it compares
Skill package for Word authoring—not a cloud document MCP or a slide-deck generator.
