- Fix sys.path bug in all bridge scripts: parents[1] → parents[2] so the bridges/ package is found from the project root - Add bridges/applescript_bridge.py: new Mac bridge that runs ExtendScript in Adobe apps via osascript, using a temp file to avoid quoting issues; supports a custom execute_line param for apps like InDesign that use 'do script ... language JavaScript' instead of 'do javascript' - illustrator_bridge, photoshop_bridge, indesign_bridge: dispatch to applescript_bridge on macOS; auto-detect app name via System Events so no hardcoded version year is needed - word_bridge, excel_bridge, powerpoint_bridge: add macOS guard that exits immediately with a clear JSON error instead of crashing on the pythoncom/win32com import; these remain Windows-only - Update all adapter READMEs with macOS install steps, bash equivalents for every shell command, and dual session file paths - Update premiere README: document Premiere 26+ CEP removal on macOS, 'must have project open' requirement, panel location in Window menu - Update root README: platform support table per adapter, bash install snippet, note macOS support - Add two macOS-specific entries to docs/known-issues.md: Premiere 26+ CEP removal, and session file path differences on macOS Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Excel Adapter Prototype
This folder lets a coding agent drive a running Microsoft Excel instance through Windows COM using only shell commands.
Platform Support
Windows only. The bridge uses Windows COM automation (pythoncom /
win32com), which is not available on macOS. Running the bridge on Mac exits
immediately with a clear error. A macOS port would require a different
scripting surface (Office AppleScript dictionary or Office Add-in JS API).
Portable Hook (Windows)
The bridge uses the generic COM ProgID:
Excel.Application
Do not hard-code the local Office install path. Each Windows machine resolves the ProgID through its own registry.
First Live Test
Open Excel first, then open or create a workbook. From the workspace root:
Get-Content adapters/excel_adapter/examples/context.py -Raw | python adapters/excel_adapter/excel_bridge.py --stdin
Expected result:
{"ok": true, "result": {"app": "Microsoft Excel", "...": "..."}}
Script Shape
Excel does not provide a general script-eval method. The Excel bridge executes
Python code and exposes the live COM object as app. Set _result to a
JSON-serializable value:
book = app.ActiveWorkbook if app.Workbooks.Count else None
sheet = book.ActiveSheet if book else None
_result = {
"workbooks": app.Workbooks.Count,
"workbook": book.Name if book else None,
"sheet": sheet.Name if sheet else None,
}
Use --stdin for one-off scripts. If a file is required, keep it in a temp or
scratch directory, not in examples/.
