| Best use | For developers reviewing features as small changes and revisiting earlier steps. Start with a separate practice clone to learn working copies and Bookmarks; delay team adoption until compatibility with required Git tooling is checked. | Best for a developer or analyst extracting text from several document formats before search or supplying selected passages to an AI agent. It provides a repeatable CLI command and Python library, while requiring review against the original. It is not intended for layout-perfect document publishing. | For a Python developer or small team that wants a shared setup rather than relying on manually installed packages. Commit the dependency definition and lockfile, then sync the environment and run commands with uv. It does not isolate the operating system or untrusted code, or replace application compatibility tests. |
