Hire an AI word handout writer and layout reviewer

Everything it can hand back

Your task sets the actual outputs. The specialist picks the methods that cover them.

• An edited handout text in plain words, with each change listed
• A new Word file (.docx), with your notes left unchanged
• A PDF review copy made from the Word file
• A page-by-page check log: one line per page, each passed, failed or not run
• A hand-back summary with MISSING facts and one next step

How it does the job well

• Every claim in the handout traces to a note. Never add a fact, figure, date, name or rule that is not in the notes.
• Keep the source notes intact. Save every new file under a new name.
• The Word file and the PDF must come from the same version. Record that version in the summary.
• Turn every request into owned actions: who, what and by when.
• Work from the real calendar, notes and lists. Never invent meetings, people or dates.
• Put the most important decision or deadline first, then the details.
• Prepare drafts and proposals. Sending, booking and changing records waits for approval.

Mistakes it avoids

• Losing commitments buried in long notes.
• Mixing confirmed facts with guesses about other people's plans.
• Adding process when a short checklist would do.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: You ran a workshop or a meeting and must send attendees a handout, not your raw notes

• Edited text and changes. The handout in plain words, with every change and its reason.
• Word handout (.docx). A new, editable Word file built from the edited text.
• PDF review copy. A PDF made from the Word file, saved under a new name.
• Page check log. One line per page for text, tables, fonts and clipping, each passed, failed or not run.
• Hand-back summary. Files saved, MISSING facts, checks not done and one next step.

How the work is checked

• Every claim traces to a note, or is flagged as MISSING.
• The Word file opens, and the PDF was made from that exact file.
• Every page is logged as passed, failed or not run.
• The source notes are untouched.
• States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.

These checks have not been run against a model yet. Your AI uses them to check its own work.

A second opinion

Before it hands back, your AI reviews the draft the way George Orwell and Kurt Vonnegut would. This is a way of reviewing the work. It does not mean they wrote or endorse it.

Capabilities

• Plain English editor. Rewrites your notes around what the reader must understand or do, and lists every change. It hands on the edited text, with a note behind each claim.
• Document file generator. Builds a new Word file from the edited text in your reference style. It keeps your source notes unchanged and hands on the .docx file.
• LibreOffice document builder. Converts the Word file to a PDF review copy and checks the conversion. It never overwrites the Word file.
• PDF maker and reader. Draws every page of the PDF as a picture. It checks for missing text, tables, fonts and clipping, and ties the PDF to the Word version.

How the role works

1. Checks your task, context and available tools.
2. Picks the methods needed and prepares a work plan.
3. Carries out supported tasks, with each method's limits and review gates.
4. Checks the real deliverables and corrects supported faults.
5. Hands back files, evidence and unresolved gaps.

Use this specialist through MCP or the API

Call prepare_specialist with role_id turn-rough-notes-into-a-checked-word-handout only. No task is required to load it. Your AI asks what job you need done, what you want back and which relevant context it can use.

For task-led hiring, call find_specialist, explain the suggested specialists and let the user accept or change the team.

Inputs and helpful context

The specialist starts from the task brief. Only active methods require their inputs.

For the primary method, when used

• Your rough notes, pasted or as files
• Who the handout is for, and what they should do after reading it
• The format you need, such as one page or a table of steps
• A past handout or style guide to match (optional)
• A deadline, and anything that must not change (optional)

Helpful context (optional)

• A past handout you liked, to match the look.
• A named person to read the final pages.

Tools and access

• An AI that can run code, such as Claude Code: It builds the Word file with Node.js and the PaperJSX package. Check that package's licence and cost before you install it.
• LibreOffice: It is free. It converts the Word file to PDF.
• A PDF page-to-picture tool and Python PDF libraries: Poppler, pdfplumber and pypdf draw and read the pages so layout can be checked. Text alone cannot show a broken table.
• Any good chat AI: Editing a draft with a fixed list of moves is text work any strong chat AI does well with this skill.
• A read-aloud tool: Hearing the result spoken shows where a line does not sound like you.
• Claude Code: It can run LibreOffice commands and Python scripts and save the files on your computer.
• Any chat AI: It can write the template and the commands, but you run them yourself.

Tasks you can use it for

• You ran a workshop or a meeting and must send attendees a handout, not your raw notes
• A policy, a how-to or a checklist lives in scattered notes and needs to go out as a Word file
• A manager wants the handout as .docx so they can edit it, with a PDF for the printer
• You want proof that no page has cut-off text or a broken table before you send it

Limits to check before starting

• You only need cleaner text, with no Word file. Use the Plain English editor.
• You want a one-page training handout from slides or notes. Use the Training handout writer.
• You have a slide deck and want an audience handout PDF from it. Use the PowerPoint audience handout builder.
• Your AI cannot install tools or run code. You will get the edited text and a plan, not a Word file.

Best way to use this role

Give it one clear outcome, the actual files and a definition of done. Keep the work in one AI project so it can reuse checked context and earlier files.

• Download the handoff pack from this page. It is a zip with HANDOFF.md and every skill file this workflow uses.
• Use an AI that can run code and save files. It needs Node.js, LibreOffice and a PDF page-to-picture tool installed.
• Give it the folder and say "Follow HANDOFF.md". Then paste or attach your notes before the first step, and say who the handout is for.
• Read the edited text first. Fix any MISSING line, then let it build the Word file.
• Open the Word file and the check log. Look at any page marked not run, then send or print.
