New Features (2026-06-19) — Office I/O
Headless read/write for Office documents — Excel (.xlsx), Word
(.docx), and PowerPoint (.pptx) — so flows can ingest a row-set or
emit a report without driving the GUI. Wired through the full stack
(facade, AC_* executor commands, MCP tools, Script Builder).
The backing libraries (openpyxl / python-docx / python-pptx)
are an optional dependency:
pip install je_auto_control[office]
Each function raises a clear RuntimeError if its library is missing,
so the core package stays lean and import je_auto_control pulls none of
them.
Excel
from je_auto_control import read_workbook, write_workbook
write_workbook("people.xlsx", [{"name": "Ada", "age": 36}], sheet="P")
rows = read_workbook("people.xlsx", sheet="P") # [{'name': 'Ada', ...}]
The first row supplies the dict keys; sheet defaults to the active
sheet. Commands: AC_read_workbook / AC_write_workbook (and
ac_read_workbook / ac_write_workbook).
Word
from je_auto_control import read_document, write_document
write_document("report.docx", ["Title", "First line", "Second line"])
paragraphs = read_document("report.docx")["paragraphs"]
Commands: AC_read_document / AC_write_document.
PowerPoint
from je_auto_control import read_presentation, write_presentation
write_presentation("deck.pptx", [
{"title": "Intro", "body": ["bullet one", "bullet two"]},
])
slides = read_presentation("deck.pptx")["slides"] # per-slide text runs
Each slide spec is {title, body:[...]} on a “Title and Content”
layout. Commands: AC_read_presentation / AC_write_presentation.
