Show HN: Docx-CLI: agents read/edit Word docs using 1/2 the time and tokens

Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 8/10

Summary

Docx-CLI is a .docx CLI built for AI agents to read, edit, and comment on Word documents with full format fidelity. It preserves OOXML in-place while mutating only the necessary parts, enabling agents to produce redlined edits without breaking formatting. The project is released as an Agent Skill and includes install options for Bun-based usage and standalone binaries, plus cross-harness integration. A bake-off against baseline agent skills shows Docx-cli achieving higher task success with fewer tokens and faster runtimes. The README provides quickstart examples, a detailed command reference, and guidance on using the tool to read, edit, and review Word documents with lossless round-trips.
