Use this when
- Need to run terminal commands via AI without typing them yourself
- Searching or replacing text across many files quickly
- Editing Excel, PDF, or Word docs programmatically
- Running long processes (like servers) and monitoring output
- Automating file operations across directories
Don't use when
- Working with sensitive files you can't trust an AI to access
- Need a pure web/cloud solution without local installs
- Editing binary files outside supported formats (Excel/PDF/DOCX)
Capabilities

- Search files by name or content (including Excel sheets)
- Edit text files with surgical replacements or full rewrites
- Read/write Excel/PDF/DOCX files without external tools
- Manage running processes (list, kill, stream output)
- Read files from end using negative offsets (like Unix tail)
