OfficeCLI, an Office Tool for AI Agents, Released

Existing Python libraries (python-docx, openpyxl, etc.) had the limitation of making it difficult to grasp a document's visual structure. OfficeCLI is a self-contained binary tool designed to solve this by allowing AI agents to directly 'see' and modify documents.

Key Features and Functions:

• Built-in Rendering Engine: Renders documents as HTML or PNG, supporting a 'render → look → fix' loop where the agent can visually check and fix issues like broken layouts or overlapping shapes.
• 3-Tier Architecture: Depending on task complexity, it provides a semantic-unit L1 (Read) tier, an element-unit L2 (DOM) tier, and an L3 (Raw XML) tier for direct XML access.
• Powerful Excel Engine: Supports over 350 Excel functions, enabling pivot table creation and formula calculation without a separate Office installation.
• Agent-Friendly Design: All commands provide structured output via the --json option, and use a proprietary syntax based on indices and local names instead of XPath to improve the agent's navigation efficiency.
