SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Inherited, messy, or AI-generated workbooks often contain hidden tabs, broken formulas, hardcoded numbers, and undocumented assumptions that can silently push wrong numbers into board decks and executive decisions. This Skill performs a structured audit before any conclusion from the workbook is trusted. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Workbook Mapping: Classifies every sheet by purpose (raw data, assumptions, calculations, outputs, checks) and flags hidden, stale, duplicate, or suspicious sheets. - Formula Risk Scan: Detects inconsistent copied formulas, hardcoded values in calculation areas, broken or circular references, and missing tie-outs. - Assumption & Repair Reporting: Lists every assumption with source, owner, and status, then produces a severity-ranked repair plan and a verification memo stating whether the workbook is ready to use. - Use Case: You receive an AI-generated financial model feeding a quarterly board deck. Run this audit to surface hardcoded growth rates, a hidden stale data tab, and formulas that do not roll forward before presenting any numbers. ## Quick Start Use the workbook-doctor skill to audit the attached workbook and produce a workbook map, formula risk scan, and repair plan before I rely on its outputs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit an inherited Excel workbook before trusting its numbers?

Run a structured workbook audit that maps every sheet by purpose, reviews data structure issues like merged cells and text-stored numbers, scans formulas for risks, and inventories assumptions. The audit ends with a repair plan and a verification memo stating readiness.

How to check an AI-generated spreadsheet for formula errors?

Scan for formulas copied inconsistently across rows, references that should roll forward but point to fixed cells, hardcoded numbers in calculation areas, and outputs that do not change when assumptions change. Also check for broken references, error values, and circular references.

What spreadsheet issues should be flagged before a board presentation?

Flag hidden sheets, stale or duplicate data, dates or numbers stored as text, mixed currencies or units, missing source IDs, unsupported assumptions, and missing tie-outs or checks. Any unresolved key assumption or formula means the workbook is not ready.

Does this audit modify or repair the workbook automatically?

No. The audit only inspects and reports; it does not rewrite the workbook or summarize business conclusions. It produces a repair plan with severity ratings and verification steps, and flags items needing human review.

When is a workbook considered ready to use after an audit?

A workbook is ready only when key assumptions, formulas, and sources are resolved and verified. The verification memo explicitly states ready, not ready, or ready with limitations, and no business recommendations are made from an unverified workbook.
