Can this skill modify my existing Excel templates?

Yes. The skill is specifically designed to study and match your existing formatting, styles, and conventions to ensure seamless updates without breaking your template's layout.

Why is it better to use formulas instead of hardcoding values?

Using formulas ensures the spreadsheet remains dynamic. If you change a source value later in Excel, the totals and calculations will update automatically, which wouldn't happen with hardcoded values.

Does it support industry-standard financial formatting?

Absolutely. It follows standard conventions such as blue text for hardcoded inputs, black for formulas, and green for internal sheet links, unless otherwise specified.

How does it ensure formulas are correct before I download the file?

It uses a built-in recalculation script via LibreOffice that scans every cell for errors like #REF! or #NAME?, allowing the AI to identify and fix issues automatically.

What file formats are supported?

The skill supports .xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, and .tsv files for both reading and writing operations.
