What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the risk of creating inconsistent, non-auditable Excel financial models that lack traceability for review, have fragile hardcoded values that break when assumptions change, and fail to meet finance team audit standards.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Banker-grade cell conventions: Automatically applies blue/black/green color coding to distinguish hardcoded inputs, live formulas, and cross-sheet/external links for instant auditability.
- Audit-ready model structure: Enforces formula-only calculation cells, named ranges for cross-references, dedicated balance check tabs, and mandatory source comments on all hardcoded inputs.
- Use Case: A financial analyst building a DCF model can use this Skill to generate a fully auditable workbook with sensitivity tables, balance checks, and properly sourced assumptions, reducing review time and eliminating manual formula errors.
Quick Start
Use the excel-author skill to build an auditable DCF financial model with WACC sensitivity tables and balance checks, saved to the ./out directory for your team's review.
