Designed for agents and scripts.\n\n## About\n\nxlforge is a powerful CLI for Excel manipulation built with an agent-first philosophy. Every command is stateless and includes the source file as a parameter, making it perfect for automation, scripts, and AI integrations.\n\nSimilar to how a robust build tool provides declarative commands for complex tasks, xlforge provides a comprehensive set of commands for Excel operations - from basic cell manipulation to advanced features like SQL queries, semantic search, and macro recording.\n\nxlforge uses a **Hybrid Engine** architecture that automatically selects the best approach:\n- **xlwings** when Excel is installed - full control including cells, formatting, charts, and macros\n- **openpyxl** for headless/Docker environments - read/write cells, sheet operations, and basic formatting\n\n## Philosophy\n\n- **Agent-first** - Every command is a standalone shell operation\n- **Stateless** - No interactive mode, no shell persistence\n- **JSON everywhere** - All commands support JSON output; errors can be returned as JSON\n- **Fail fast with retry** - Exponential backoff on file lock (max 3 attempts)\n- **Transaction-safe** - Batch operations can be wrapped in transactions\n\n## Features\n\n- Cell operations - get, set, formula, clear, copy, bulk operations\n- Sheet management - create, delete, rename, copy, use\n- Formatting - cell styles, number formats, borders, colors\n- Data import/export - CSV, Excel tables, database sync\n- Charts and validations - create and manage Excel objects\n- SQL Bridge - Query Excel, CSV, and databases using DuckDB\n- Semantic search - AI-powered cell finding by meaning\n- Macro recorder - Transform user actions into reusable scripts\n- Checkpoint versioning - Git-like versioning for Excel files\n- Batch execution - Run scripts in a single COM session\n\n## Quick Start\n\n```bash\n# Install xlforge\npip install xlforge\n\n# Read a cell\nxlforge cell get report.xlsx \"A1\"\n\n# Write to a cell\nxlforge cell set report.xlsx \"A1\" \"Hello World\"\n\n# Set a formula\nxlforge cell formula report.xlsx \"B1\" \"=SUM(A:A)\"\n\n# Set context to avoid repeating filename\nxlforge use report.xlsx --sheet Data\ncell set A1 \"Value\"  # Operates on Data!A1 in report.xlsx\n\n# Run a batch script\nxlforge run script.xlf --transaction\n```\n\n## Documentation\n\n- [Getting Started](docs/README.md) - Overview and architecture\n- [Context Management](docs/context.md) - Environment variables and default context\n- [Batch Execution](docs/batch.md) - Run scripts with transaction support\n- [Examples](docs/examples.md) - Complete workflow examples\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions are welcome!
