Adeu: Track Changes for the LLM era

LLMs speak Markdown; reviewers speak "Track Changes."

Adeu is a docx ↔ LLM translator: a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server (Python and Node.js implementations) and accompanying SDKs that act as a Virtual DOM for Microsoft Word. It provides a two-way abstraction layer that lets AI agents freely edit document text without destroying the underlying formatting or complex DOCX XML.

While standard libraries like python-docx excel at generating documents from scratch, they fail at non-destructive redlining. Adeu solves this by translating .docx files into a token-efficient Markdown representation. This frees AI agents to focus entirely on document semantics instead of wasting tokens wrestling with OpenXML.

Adeu acts as an intelligent proxy, processing AI edits as safe, atomic transactions:

1. Read: Translates the document (from disk or live Word) into LLM-friendly CriticMarkup with a Semantic Appendix of defined terms, cross-references, and likely typos. The agent starts with
