audit-xls

Audit a spreadsheet for formula accuracy, errors, and common mistakes. Scopes to a selected range, a single sheet, or the entire model (including financial-model integrity checks like BS balance, cash tie-out, and logic sanity). Triggers on "audit this sheet", "check my formulas", "find formula errors", "QA this spreadsheet", "sanity check this", "debug model", "model check", "model won't balance", "something's off in my model", "model review".

Quality

Content

92%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The content is lean, highly actionable, and structured as a clear sequenced workflow with a validation checkpoint. Its only weak spot is progressive disclosure: everything lives in one file with no references, though the inline checklists are arguably appropriate for an audit reference.

Suggestions

Consider moving the detailed model-type-specific bug lists (3g DCF/LBO/Merger/3-stmt) into a references file (e.g. model-bugs.md) linked from the main body, leaving a concise summary inline to enable progressive disclosure.

Add a short 'Quick start' or overview block at the top summarizing the four-step flow before the detailed tables, so the structure is navigable at a glance.

If the skill is expected to be used programmatically, include one or two concrete detection snippets (e.g. a formula or script to scan for #REF!/#DIV/0! or hardcoded constants) to lift actionability further.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is dense with actionable checklists in tables and assumes Claude's competence — it never explains basic concepts like what a balance sheet or DCF is — so every token earns its place despite the length.

3 / 3

Actionability

Concrete test equations ('Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Equity', 'CF Ending Cash = BS Cash') and specific bug patterns ('Discount rate applied to wrong period (mid-year vs end-of-year)') give precise guidance; as an instruction-only skill it is not penalized for lacking code.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The four steps (scope → formula checks → model-integrity checks → report) are clearly sequenced with an explicit validation checkpoint: 'If BS doesn't balance... nothing else matters until this is fixed.'

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Sections are well-organized, but the skill is a single monolithic file over 50 lines with no external references, and the detailed model-type-specific bug lists (DCF/LBO/Merger/3-stmt) are inline reference material that could be split into a deeper file; it falls short of the clear one-level-deep reference structure at the top anchor.

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is strong across all dimensions: it states concrete capabilities, includes a rich set of natural trigger phrases, and explicitly signals when to use the skill. It is concise and clearly distinct from other skills.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'Audit a spreadsheet for formula accuracy, errors, and common mistakes' plus specific integrity checks like 'BS balance, cash tie-out, and logic sanity' — matching the anchor for naming several specific concrete actions.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what it does and when to use it via the 'Triggers on...' clause, which is equivalent explicit trigger guidance to 'Use when...', so it is not capped at 2.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Provides extensive natural user phrasing ('audit this sheet', 'check my formulas', 'model won't balance', 'something's off in my model') that a user would genuinely say, giving good coverage rather than technical jargon.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The narrow spreadsheet/financial-model audit niche with distinctive triggers ('model won't balance', 'sanity check this') makes it clearly distinguishable and unlikely to fire for the wrong skill.
