stetdoc docs

Start here to install stetdoc, connect it to your agent, or build it into a product. The list at the end says what every page covers.

stetdoc is how AI agents work in Word. Every change your agent makes lands in Word as a tracked change with its name on it, and everything it didn't touch comes back exactly as it was.

Start here

You want your coding agent to edit Word files. Install stetdoc with one command, run stetdoc init, then follow your agent's section.

You are an agent told to install stetdoc and use it. Read Install, then run stetdoc skills get core for the full skill.

You are building a product on stetdoc. Build on stetdoc compares the Rust crate, the Node package, the CLI and the MCP server.

What it guarantees

Byte identity. An unedited round trip returns identical bytes. An edited round trip changes only the edited elements.
No silent changes. Every change to text, formatting or structure is a Word revision with an author and a date, unless you ask for manual markup.
Validated before commit. An edit may not add schema or Word-rule violations, and a batch applies completely or not at all.
Safe on hostile input. Bad input fails with a stable error code. stetdoc never panics, hangs or touches the network.
