Produce correctly-rendered right-to-left (RTL) Microsoft Office documents — Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), and Excel (.xlsx) — for Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu, and other RTL scripts. Use this skill whenever the user asks for a document in Arabic or another RTL language, or whenever the deliverable mixes RTL prose with English/Latin tokens (IBANs, URLs, emails, numbers). It must also be used whenever you produce a docx-js / openpyxl / python-pptx output that contains any RTL text, because…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Arabic / RTL Documents

## Why this skill exists

RTL bugs in Office files are sneaky. They almost never throw an error and they often look fine in LibreOffice or in a PDF preview — but a user opening the file in Microsoft Word sees:

- Headings left-aligned even though the body looks right.
- Table cells reversed (the *label* column ends up on the LEFT when it should be on the RIGHT).
- Bullet lists flipped (bullet on the right, indent going the wrong way).
- IBANs and emails embedded in Arabic prose getting their digits reordered.
- Punctuation drifting to the wrong side of a word.

The root cause is almost always the same: the generator emitted *paragraph-level* RTL flags but skipped the *section-level* and *table-level* flags. Word treats those as authoritative when laying out headings, footers, table direction, and auto-numbering. LibreOffice is more forgiving, so problems hide in QA.

This skill bundles a checklist plus a post-build hardening script that fixes the common omissions in a finished `.docx`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add engdawood/awesome-arabic-claude-skills/arabic-rtl-docs@sha256:f4e3d8bb4230f1d5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.a02bd6c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
