AI-native Office CLI: read and edit .docx / .xlsx / .pptx with no Office install

Good for

  • Letting AI agents read and write Word/Excel/PowerPoint cell by cell
  • Atomic batch edits with a replayable dump/batch round-trip
  • Looking up properties via schema-driven help instead of guessing

Not for

  • Print-grade layout with bleed (leave that to DesignCraft)
  • Users who never want to touch a command line

We deliberately put “not for” on the same screen — a review that only lists strengths carries no information.
