What problem does it solve?
Excel financial models often suffer from inconsistent formatting, mismatched colour coding, and incorrect number formats that reduce readability, introduce errors, and make models unprofessional for stakeholders. This Skill eliminates that manual, error-prone work by dynamically detecting the model's own existing style conventions instead of enforcing arbitrary one-size-fits-all standards.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Dynamic Style Convention Detection: Automatically identifies the model's formatting rules from style guide sheets, named Excel cell styles, or statistical analysis of font and fill formatting across the workbook.
- Comprehensive Formatting Checks: Flags colour coding mismatches (e.g., inputs styled as formulas, formulas styled as inputs), incorrect number formats (percentages shown as raw decimals, dates stored as general numbers), alignment inconsistencies, and border irregularities.
- Use Case: For a 20-sheet financial model built by a team, run this audit to catch all formatting deviations that would otherwise take hours to review manually, ensuring the model meets the team's own documented style standards.
Quick Start
Use the ag-stylist-auditor skill to run a full formatting consistency audit on your Excel financial model and get a prioritized report of all style and number format issues to resolve.
