When to use this skill
- Use when the task involves spreadsheets, CSV/TSV files, tabular data cleanup, or workbook analysis.
- Use when the user needs formulas, summaries, transformations, or structured exports from spreadsheet data.
- Use when the task depends on preserving headers, column types, sheet boundaries, or formulas.
- Use when bulk edits must remain auditable and reversible.
What this skill does
- Normalizes spreadsheet-like tasks into safe, repeatable tabular workflows.
- Treats headers, row counts, formulas, and delimiters as explicit assumptions rather than guessing silently.
- Prefers scripted transformations that can be reviewed and rerun.
- Helps separate data cleaning, calculation, and presentation concerns.
Implementation
- First identify the source format: CSV, TSV, XLSX, multiple sheets, exported report, or ad hoc table.
Best practices
- Never assume the first row is a header without checking.
- Treat date, currency, and numeric coercion as high-risk transformations.
- Preserve formulas unless the user explicitly wants static values.
- Prefer small, auditable transformations over opaque bulk rewrites.
- State when workbook-only features such as formatting, filters, merged cells, or charts may not be preserved.
