word-documents

Use the document_artifact create operation with kind set to document, format set to odt, a title, and the body content. The file is saved and returned with action buttons rather than opened automatically.

Use DOCX only when the user explicitly requests Word or Microsoft compatibility, provides an existing .docx file, or needs that format for interoperability. ODT is the default format for LibreOffice Writer documents.

First read the document with document_artifact read using its file_id or path, then apply deterministic edits such as set_text, append_text, prepend_text, replace_text, or delete_text. This ensures content-sensitive changes are accurate.

No. Creating or editing an ODT or DOCX saves the file and returns action buttons, but the canvas never opens automatically. The user controls viewing through the Open in canvas action.

Use the Desktop only for explicit GUI requests, visual layout polish, or final visual confirmation that structured edits cannot handle reliably. Routine content changes should go through document_artifact operations.
