| Best use | For developers switching among many directories in an interactive terminal. It learns from visited paths and helps you return; use explicit paths for scripts and deployments that require a fixed destination. | 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. |
