# PlotDirector Word Companion

This project contains the Microsoft Word task pane add-in shell for PlotDirector.

The add-in is deliberately small:

- The manifest adds one ribbon button: **Open PlotDirector Companion**.
- The task pane opens the PlotDirector-hosted `/word-companion` route.
- The manifest requests `ReadDocument` so the companion can read Word paragraphs, selection context, and document body content for the manual document-structure scan.
- The companion does not request document write permissions.

## Development

The development manifest URL is configured in `config/development.json`.

```powershell
npm install
npm run build
npm run validate
```
