Office OS

What Office OS does

A user asks in plain language to find, review, create, update, combine or schedule office work. The plugin classifies the request, asks one question at a time only when an owner decision is missing, and does the work in useful chunks. Formal replies open with an intent line giving intent, object, permission and check level. It reads and writes .xlsx, .docx and .pptx, reads PDFs for review and extraction only, detects legacy .xls, .doc and .ppt, and does not rewrite macro-enabled files.

Source files are never overwritten. Results go to a sibling folder named Office OS Output, and repeating a task replaces the same output, with scheduled work keeping up to three .bak backups. Each workspace gets a private SQLite FTS5 index that holds metadata only until the owner grants full-text access to a workspace root. An optional OfficeCLI adapter exposes a single officecli tool for structured edits, validation and PNG review, uses a pinned executable version, checks its SHA before every call, and downloads nothing until the owner approves.
