SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually reviewing Excel workbooks to spot trends and anomalies is slow and error-prone, and findings often get lost instead of being recorded. This Skill automates the full loop: reading a workbook, producing a structured trend and anomaly analysis, writing results back into the file, and persisting KPIs to long-term memory.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Workbook Reading: Inspects all sheets of an Excel file and returns their data for analysis.
  • Trend and Anomaly Analysis: Generates a summarized trend analysis of the spreadsheet contents.
  • Write-Back and KPI Persistence: Appends a new 'Insights' sheet to the workbook and saves key KPIs to memory for future sessions.
  • Use Case: A business analyst receives a monthly sales workbook and asks for a data review; the Skill reads every sheet, summarizes trends and anomalies, adds an 'Insights' sheet to the file, and stores the KPIs for later recall.

Quick Start

Analyze the attached sales workbook for trends and anomalies, write the findings into a new Insights sheet, and remember the key KPIs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze an Excel file for trends and anomalies with an AI agent?

Provide the workbook and ask for a spreadsheet insight or data review. The Skill reads all sheets, generates a trend and anomaly summary, appends an Insights sheet to the workbook, and saves key KPIs to memory.

How to write analysis results back into an xlsx file automatically?

The writeback step appends a new sheet named 'Insights' containing the generated analysis to the existing workbook. This uses the xlsx skill, so the original sheets remain untouched while the findings are stored alongside the data.

Does this Skill work with CSV files or only Excel workbooks?

The workflow is built around the xlsx skill and Excel workbooks with multiple sheets. CSV files are not explicitly supported by the defined steps, though an LLM fallback could attempt a similar read-summarize-write flow.

What happens to the KPIs after the spreadsheet analysis?

Key performance indicators from the analysis are appended to a memory file at memory/spreadsheet-kpi.md via the memory_save tool. This persists the metrics across sessions so later conversations can recall them.

What are the limitations of automated spreadsheet insight generation?

The analysis quality depends on the underlying summarize step and is capped at roughly 1000 words, so very large or highly complex workbooks may be condensed. It produces descriptive trend summaries rather than statistical modeling or forecasting.
