 # @mdgate/numbers
 
-Convert Apple Numbers spreadsheets to Markdown. Outputs GitHub-Flavored Markdown. Works in Node, Edge, and
-browsers. No native addons.
+**Convert Apple Numbers spreadsheets to Markdown in TypeScript.**
 
-Handles: `.numbers`
+[`@mdgate/numbers`](https://github.com/mdgate/converters/tree/main/packages/numbers) reads `.numbers` files directly in JavaScript and converts tables into GitHub-Flavored Markdown, without Python, native addons, WASM, or Numbers.
 
-## Usage
+Works in **Node.js, Cloudflare Workers, Edge runtimes, and browsers**.
+
+```bash
+npm install @mdgate/numbers
+```
+
+```ts
+import { toMarkdown } from '@mdgate/numbers';
+
+const markdown = await toMarkdown(bytes);
+```
+
+`bytes` is a `Uint8Array`, so the spreadsheet can come from a file upload, object storage, iCloud export, a browser file picker, or anywhere else your application gets bytes.
+
+---
+
+## Why [`@mdgate/numbers`](https://github.com/mdgate/converters/tree/main/packages/numbers)
+
+Numbers files are iWork packages. An Excel parser will not read them.
+
+[`@mdgate/numbers`](https://github.com/mdgate/converters/tree/main/packages/numbers) is a Numbers reader written for the same runtime as your application:
+
+* **Pure TypeScript**
+* **Numbers → Markdown locally**
+* **No Python runtime**
+* **No native addons**
+* **No WASM runtime**
+* **Zero third-party runtime dependencies**
+* **Works with raw `Uint8Array` input**
+* **Detects Numbers packages from their contents, not only the filename**
+
+---
+
+## What it extracts
+
+[`@mdgate/numbers`](https://github.com/mdgate/converters/tree/main/packages/numbers) opens the iWork archive, reads TST table storage from IWA protobuf, and rebuilds a shared document model.
+
+The converter handles Numbers-specific concerns including:
+
+* sheets and tables as Markdown tables
+* cell text in table order
+* table structure from the iWork archive
+
+The output is Markdown that can be searched, indexed, chunked, cached, or passed directly to an AI agent.
+
+Excel workbooks are a different format. Use [`@mdgate/xlsx`](https://github.com/mdgate/converters/tree/main/packages/xlsx) for those.
+
+---
+
+## Node.js
+
+```ts
+import { readFile } from 'node:fs/promises';
+import { toMarkdown } from '@mdgate/numbers';
+
+const bytes = new Uint8Array(await readFile('budget.numbers'));
+const markdown = await toMarkdown(bytes);
+
+console.log(markdown);
+```
+
+---
+
+## Browser
+
+```ts
+import { toMarkdown } from '@mdgate/numbers';
+
+const file = input.files![0];
+const bytes = new Uint8Array(await file.arrayBuffer());
+
+const markdown = await toMarkdown(bytes);
+```
+
+---
+
+## Cloudflare Workers and Edge runtimes
 
 ```ts
 import { toMarkdown } from '@mdgate/numbers';
 
+export default {
+  async fetch(request: Request) {
+    const bytes = new Uint8Array(await request.arrayBuffer());
+    const markdown = await toMarkdown(bytes);
+
+    return new Response(markdown, {
+      headers: {
+        'content-type': 'text/markdown; charset=utf-8',
+      },
+    });
+  },
+};
+```
+
+---
+
+## Format detection
+
+You do not need to trust the file extension.
+
+[`@mdgate/numbers`](https://github.com/mdgate/converters/tree/main/packages/numbers) recognizes Numbers iWork packages from ZIP / `Index.zip` contents.
+
+```ts
 const markdown = await toMarkdown(bytes);
 ```
 
-Compose with other converters:
+A path can still be supplied as a format hint when [`@mdgate/numbers`](https://github.com/mdgate/converters/tree/main/packages/numbers) is used through [`@mdgate/converters`](https://github.com/mdgate/converters/tree/main/packages/converters) or a reader composed with [`@mdgate/core`](https://github.com/mdgate/converters/tree/main/packages/core), but the path is never used to read a file from disk.
+
+---
+
+## Compose it with other file readers
+
+[`@mdgate/numbers`](https://github.com/mdgate/converters/tree/main/packages/numbers) implements the converter interface from [`@mdgate/core`](https://github.com/mdgate/converters/tree/main/packages/core).
 
 ```ts
 import { create } from '@mdgate/core';
 import { numbers } from '@mdgate/numbers';
+import { xlsx } from '@mdgate/xlsx';
+
+const read = create([
+  numbers(),
+  xlsx(),
+]);
+```
+
+The application still uses one reading interface while each format remains independently installable.
+
+---
+
+## Need more than Numbers?
+
+If your application needs to read many different file types, use the complete converter set:
 
-const convert = create([numbers()]);
+```bash
+npm install @mdgate/converters
 ```
 
-Part of [mdgate converters](https://github.com/mdgate/converters); install
-`@mdgate/converters` for every format at once.
+```ts
+import { toMarkdown } from '@mdgate/converters';
+
+const markdown = await toMarkdown(bytes, {
+  path: filename,
+});
+```
+
+[`@mdgate/numbers`](https://github.com/mdgate/converters/tree/main/packages/numbers) is one of the single-format packages in the open-source [`mdgate/converters`](https://github.com/mdgate/converters) project.
+
+For AI agents, the same converter architecture can be used to extend `read_file` from text files to real-world document formats.
