What problem does it solve?
Excel models often end up as hard-to-audit spreadsheets where assumptions are indistinguishable from calculations and values silently break when inputs change. This Skill produces reviewable workbooks that keep formulas live and inputs clearly sourced.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Auditable cell conventions: Blue fonts mark hardcoded human inputs, black fonts mark formula-driven outputs, and green fonts indicate links.
- Formula-first modeling: Ensures every derived number is written as an Excel formula string rather than computed in Python and pasted as a value.
- Built-in review guardrails: Adds named ranges for cross-sheet references and a dedicated Checks tab with TRUE/FALSE balance checks to validate model integrity.
- Recalculation-ready output: Provides a helper script to recalculate the workbook headlessly using LibreOffice so downstream tooling can read computed results.
Quick Start
Generate an auditable financial workbook by asking the agent to create the required Inputs, DCF/calc, and Checks tabs and save the resulting .xlsx to out/ using the Skill’s blue/black/green and formula-over-hardcodes conventions.
