## Description

Create, convert, read and edit Office documents locally with GenOffice's command line. Build a new presentation (pptx) from a brief through a checked outline, per-page spec and render pipeline, a new spreadsheet (xlsx) from CSV or JSON data with formulas, a new Word document (docx) from Markdown or HTML, or a PDF; convert between pdf, docx, xlsx, pptx, md, html and csv; read the structure and text of an existing file (including the user's own docx / xlsx / pptx as source material) and apply structured edits to it. Use whenever the user asks for a slide deck, presentation, spreadsheet, workbook, report, Word document or any real Office file, a format conversion, a rewrite of part of an existing document, or wants the result opened in the GenOffice editor. Documents are processed locally; only search, image and media send the query or the referenced file to the provider configured in GenOffice.

# genoffice, GenOffice from the terminal

`genoffice` is installed with GenOffice. Run `genoffice --version` first. If the command is not found, GenOffice writes the launcher directory to `~/.genoffice/launcher` (Windows: `%USERPROFILE%\.genoffice\launcher`) on every start: read that one line and run `"<dir>/genoffice"` from bash or `"<dir>\genoffice.cmd"` from PowerShell / cmd, quoted, in place of `genoffice` below. Default locations when that file is missing: macOS `/Applications/GenOffice.app/Contents/Resources/cli`, Windows `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\GenOffice\resources\cli`, Linux `/opt/GenOffice/resources/cli`. Every command runs headless on the app's own engines; only `search`, `image` and `media` send data off the machine, to the provider configured in GenOffice.

Always add `--json` when a program reads the output: one JSON object on stdout, `{ "status": "ok" | "partial", "command", "summary", "output_path"?, "warnings"?, "detail"? }` (`partial`: an `apply` with `--best-effort` / `--stop-on-error` wrote the file but lost ops) or `{ "status": "error", "code", "error", "message", "suggestion"?, "detail"? }`. Exit codes: `0` ok, `1` usage or rejected ops, `2` file not found / output exists / file open in GenOffice, `3` conversion failed, `4` app not available. `error` is the machine-readable reason (table under "When a command fails"), `suggestion` the next step in one sentence, including `did you mean "…"?` when a command, option, op name, element id or sheet name is one typo away. `detail` carries facts as fields (`failures[]` with `index`, `op`, `error`, `reason`, `valid_range`, `available`, `supported`, `usage`; `sheets`, `options`, `commands`); never parse `message`.
