Score: 7.0/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

mm provides multimodal versions of Unix tools (find/cat/grep) that work with images, video, audio, PDFs, and other binary formats, enabling AI agents to process files LLMs can't natively read. It combines a fast Rust core with Python developer experience and follows Unix philosophy for composability.
