Individual skill

fill-icmje-coi

Use when each author needs an ICMJE Conflict of Interest disclosure form (coi_disclosure.docx) for submission. Clones a pre-filled synthetic seed with every item marked None and replaces only date, name and manuscript title, so most authors just confirm or amend.

# Fill-ICMJE-COI Skill

The official ICMJE `coi_disclosure.docx` keeps every field inside Word Content Controls (SDTs),
which `python-docx` `cell.text` silently ignores. The script therefore does literal-string
replacement in `word/document.xml`, which only works when the target strings already exist — hence
the shipped pre-filled synthetic seed.

## Core Principles (Do Not Violate)

1. **Never author SDT XML from scratch.** Only replace existing strings in an already-populated
   seed, because programmatic Content Controls are fragile and Word-version-dependent. If an error
   seems to require altering the seed structure, stop and escalate to the user.
2. **Never use or commit a seed that contains a real author's data.** The shipped
   `templates/icmje_coi_seed_synthetic.docx` is PII-scrubbed (synthetic name, title, date; metadata
