adeu

Overview

Adeu acts as a Virtual DOM for Microsoft Word, providing a two-way abstraction layer that allows AI agents to edit document text without destroying underlying formatting or complex OpenXML. It translates .docx files into LLM-friendly CriticMarkup with a semantic appendix, processes AI edits as safe atomic transactions, and translates them into native Word Track Changes. The tool acts as an intelligent proxy that validates changes before applying them, ensuring document integrity is maintained throughout the editing process.
