Adeu: Professional Redlining & Review

Overview

Adeu acts as a "Virtual DOM" for DOCX files. It allows you to read documents as Markdown, propose edits, and apply them as native XML w:ins (insertions) and w:del (deletions) without breaking document structure.

Capabilities

1. Extract: Read text with high fidelity (preserving comments and structural headers).
2. Diff: Compare two DOCX files to see what changed.
3. Edit: Apply search-and-replace modifications that result in Track Changes.
4. Review: Accept/Reject existing changes or Reply to comments.

Execution Model

This skill relies on the adeu CLI tool. Always execute via uvx to ensure the environment is correct.

uvx adeu --version
