nodecode-office

Office Desk: guarded Word, PowerPoint and Excel edits - tracked Word changes, text replacements with a backup and a revertible receipt for every write. A Nodecode rewrite of DECRUX9812/hermes-office by DECRUX9812.

Get it

Tell the agent "add the office cell", or run nodecode add nc://office.

Set it up

Put the folders you let it edit on the desk. In ~/.nodecode/config.jsonc:

{
  "office": {
    "folders": ["~/Documents", "/Users/me/Work"],
    "author": "Nodecode",   // the name Word tracked changes carry
    "preview": 12          // how many blocks office_inspect shows
  }
}

The same fields are in /settings. Nothing else is needed: no key, no Office install, no LibreOffice, no network.

Use it

Ask the agent for what you want done, or call the tools from eval:

office_inspect - what a .docx, .pptx or .xlsx says: its paragraphs, slides or cells, with the Word revision count.
office_search - where a phrase is, by paragraph, slide or cell reference.
office_replace - replace text in Word paragraphs, PowerPoint text frames or Excel shared strings, in place or into a new file.
docx_tracked_edit - replace a stretch of Word text as a tracked change: a w:del and a w:ins under your author name, so a reviewer accepts or rejects it in Word.
office_receipt - every write with its digests and backup; action: revert puts a file back byte for byte.

/office shows the folders on the desk and the last writes. (help :office) is the same primer the model reads.

Every write goes: the desk check (the file must be inside one of your folders) -> a byte-exact backup -> the edit, written to a temporary file and renamed -> a receipt. A refusal touches nothing.

What is in it

File	What it is
`zip.lisp`	The ZIP container a .docx, .pptx or .xlsx is: read (chipz inflates), repack (untouched parts keep their bytes, edited ones are stored).
`office.lisp`	The XML, read as text: paragraphs, runs, slides, cells, shared strings, replacement, and the tracked-change splice.
`cell.lisp`	The five tools, their contracts, the desk guard, backups, receipts, `/office` and the manual.

What it does not do

No comments, no accept/reject of existing revisions, no slide composition or diff, no Excel cell/formula writes, no LibreOffice recalculation, and no Desk page with workstreams - see NOTICE.
