# Spreadsheet Skill

Use this skill whenever a spreadsheet file is the primary input or output.

## When to use
- Opening, reading, editing, or fixing an existing `.xlsx`/`.csv`/`.tsv`
- Adding columns, computing formulas, formatting, or charting
- Creating a new spreadsheet from scratch or from other data
- Cleaning messy tabular data (malformed rows, stray headers) into a proper sheet
- Converting between tabular formats

## How it works
The skill uses `openpyxl` and pandas-style processing to preserve formulas, number formats, and charts through edits, and applies data-cleaning heuristics to turn raw exports into structured sheets.

Description

A skill for spreadsheet work where an .xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, or .tsv file is the primary input or output. It reads and edits existing spreadsheets (adding columns, computing formulas, formatting, charting), builds new ones from scratch or other data sources, cleans messy tabular data into well-formed sheets, and converts between tabular formats.
