also, batched commands do wonders. if the agent wants to make multiple changes at once, give it the facility to do so. this is done via --batch in the CLI and is especially important since the underlying positional markers shift.

Same - but when I did a lot of work with these tools, it became clear to me they're a lot more trained on working with CLIs. There's just much more data available for them to train on.

Still working it out as I build more of these CLIs. That being said: - every single command you write MUST have a help text. that help text should also tell agents what the easiest path forward it. for example, the locator system in this CL

Realistically... everyone's using it from students, to lawyers, to academics, and so on and so forth. And given that LibreOffice and Google Docs are pretty good nowadays and OOXML is an open standard now post the monopoly rulings of th

Not really - if you wanna do a text replacement you can extract it yourself and do some work (or just use this CLI). The library is designed for longer workloads.

If the reader needs the images, there's an explicit extract command that gets them into a folder. If the writer needs to update them, there's and explicit replace command and insert commands for that purpose. It all has to go into

Heya folks! I built docx-cli this past weekend because my wife was getting tired of doing repetitive, rubric-based grading. At 20-30 mins a student with ~25 students, this was a lot of work. So, I came in and told her I'd build a TA ag
