Show HN: Cowork/Codex DOCX plugin. Uses 2x fewer tokens than the docx skill

Hi HNers, I'd like to share our DOCX plugin for Cowork and Codex. It uses 2-5x fewer tokens compared to the traditional docx skill because it doesn't write any code nor execute python/node script. It is also much more reliable. Our DOCX plugin converts docx<->html bidirectionally. This means AI only operates on HTML. AI is excellent and very efficient when it comes to HTML. Most libraries (if not all) support docx->html, but none supports html->docx. This is what is novel about our approach. Here's the demo: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UNlUJYwkNX3NiANDkLLb3UoRSms... We've been using it in-house for redlining legal documents, and we love it. If you redline docx files, please give it a try: https://github.com/LegalRabbit-AI/legalrabbit-docx-claude-pl...

I'm working on a Cowork/Codex plugin for reading and manipulating docx files. It uses 2-5x fewer tokens compared to the Anthropic's docx skill and is much faster. The main target users are lawyers who redlines and drafts legal documents, and they almost always use docx. It can be used together with Claude For Legal; The combination is pretty magical. Here's the plugin: https://github.com/LegalRabbit-AI/legalrabbit-docx-claude-pl...
In Ask HN: What are you working on? (June 2026)
Maybe it's because I don't know anything about how claude plugins work, but I find it odd that there's no actual TS code in the mentioned repo: https://github.com/LegalRabbit-AI/legalrabbit-docx-claude-pl... There is a zip file of code in the releases though. I wonder if the LPGL 3.0 license covers that? UPDATE: the zip file is just the repo itself. So everything interesting is in the legalrabbit-docx-mcp.exe, contained in the GitHub releases. What a tease.
