Government Official Document Standard Formatter

The Problem to Solve

When dealing with government official documents, the major hurdle is often not the content itself, but the process of transforming a draft into a formal document compliant with the GB/T 9704-2012 national standard. Manually adjusting fonts, sizes, margins, line spacing, and various header elements (like the red header and document number) is tedious and error-prone. This can lead to invalid submissions, especially during urgent issuance.

How the Skill Works

The gongwenformat-pro skill automates this process using a Python script (gongwen_format.py). Its core function is to parse input text and apply a predefined official document format template.

Key Steps and Capabilities:
1. Intelligent Input Parsing: Accepts multiple input formats. It can automatically identify ## headings and **bold text** in Markdown, segment plain text by blank lines, and extract pure text content from Word documents (.docx).
2. Standardized Output Generation: It populates the content into the correct format framework according to national standards. For example:
- The title is automatically set to Erhao Xiaobiao Song font and centered.
- The body text uses Sanhao Fangsong font, with each paragraph's first line indented by two characters.
- Page settings are configured for A4 paper, with margins, line spacing, etc., strictly adhering to the standard.
3. Advanced Element Customization: Through a rich set of command-line parameters (--parameter), you can insert complete document header and footer information. For instance:
- --redhead "XX Provincial People's Government" to generate the red header.
- --doc-number "X Gov Issuance [2026] No. 12" to add the document number.
- --secret-level "Confidential*20 Years" to annotate the security level.
- It also supports the signatory, main recipient, copied recipients, printing authority, and other details, catering to needs ranging from ordinary notices to upward-reporting documents.

Applicable Scope and Considerations

• Format Authority: This tool strictly follows the GB/T 9704-2012 standard, but some organizations may have more specific internal formatting guidelines. Manual review is still necessary after generation.
• Dependence on Input Quality: The accuracy of the output format partly relies on the structural clarity of the input text. A well-structured .md file, for example, will yield more reliable parsing results than a .docx with mixed formatting.
• External Dependencies: Generating .pdf format requires LibreOffice to be installed on the system; otherwise, this functionality will be unavailable.
• Flexibility Limits: For non-standard or highly specialized document layouts, the preset templates of this skill may not directly cover them, requiring parameter adjustments or post-processing.
