SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires openpyxl, pandas.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill reduces the manual toil of creating, editing, and analyzing spreadsheets by enabling programmatic workbook generation, data inspection, and formula-driven recalculation across Excel-compatible formats (.xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, .tsv). It preserves existing templates and formulas while allowing structured data manipulation and visualization, enabling consistent results at scale.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Spreadsheet creation & formatting: Generate new workbooks with formulas, styling, and data tables from structured inputs.
  • Data analysis & validation: Read, summarize, and validate data to support decision-making and reporting.
  • Template preservation & updates: Update existing templates while preserving core conventions and formulas.
  • Recalculation workflow: Recalculate all formulas via a LibreOffice-backed process to ensure up-to-date results.

Quick Start

Use the xlsx skill to create a new workbook with a simple data table and then run the recalc.py script to refresh all formulas.
