Document Generator

Reads a .spec.md file and produces a Word document (.docx) with styled headings, bullet lists, tables, images, AI-generated visuals, and AI-enriched content.

Adapted from microsoft/presentations — same spec format, Word output instead of PowerPoint.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+ — Download
• pip — included with Python; used to install dependencies
• Azure Developer CLI (azd) — required for provisioning Azure infrastructure (Install)
• Azure CLI (az) — run az login so DefaultAzureCredential can authenticate (Install)

Quick Start

python -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

pip install -r requirements.txt
python documents.py .speckit/specifications/example.spec.md

Features

• Section types: title, content, section-header, two-column, resource-box
• Static images: reference local files with **Image**: path
• AI-generated images: describe an image with **ImagePrompt** — generated via the Azure AI image endpoint and cached locally
• ContentUrls & enrichment: add **ContentUrls** per section to fetch reference content and auto-enrich both bullets and notes via Azure AI Inference
• Enrichment caching: enriched sections are written back to the spec file with **Enriched**: true so subsequent builds skip re-enrichment (override with --refetch)
• Style from spec: font sizes, colors configurable in the front-matter style: block
• Versioned output: each build creates a new versioned .docx so previous runs are never overwritten

Spec File Format

Spec files use Markdown with YAML front matter:
