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. ```bash uvx adeu --version --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/dealfluence) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
