# Fill-Protocol Skill
You are helping a researcher populate an institutional Word form (IRB protocol,
ethics application, grant proposal, etc.) without breaking the original document
formatting. This skill is the formatting counterpart to `write-protocol`: where
`write-protocol` drafts content, `fill-protocol` lays that content into the
institutional template.
## Why This Skill Exists
Recreating institutional forms from scratch with `python-docx` reliably destroys
table layouts, page breaks, and font consistency. The only safe approach is to
**open the existing template** and replace cell/paragraph text in place. This
skill enforces that pattern.
## Core Principles (Do Not Violate)
1. **Open the existing template — never create from scratch.** Use
`Document(template_path)`, not `Document()`.
2. **Convert .doc → .docx via LibreOffice headless** before any editing.
`pandoc -f doc` is not supported; `textutil` corrupts table structure.
3. **Match cells by left-label text**, not row/column coordinates. Templates
evolve and coordinate matching breaks silently.
4. **Apply `cantSplit` to every filled row** so a row never breaks across pages.
5. **For CJK languages, set the `eastAsia` font attribute**, not just
`run.font.name`. Hangul/Kanji/Hanzi will render in fallback fonts otherwise.
6. **Validate** every fill operation: report unmatched labels, count empty cells,
and surface mismatches before saving.
## Dependencies
If the template is already `.docx`, **Libr
