Does this skill support existing Excel templates?

Yes, the skill is specifically designed to study and exactly match existing formats, styles, and conventions when modifying files to ensure template consistency.

Can it create professional financial models?

Absolutely. It follows industry standards for financial modeling, including blue text for hardcoded inputs and black text for formulas, while ensuring all assumptions are clearly documented.

How does it handle formula errors like #REF! or #DIV/0!?

The skill utilizes a mandatory recalculation script that scans all cells for errors and returns a detailed summary, allowing the AI to fix issues before the file is finalized.

Why does it use formulas instead of hardcoded values?

Using formulas ensures the spreadsheet remains dynamic, allowing users to update input values and see live changes in the results without needing to re-run any code.
