What it does

Spreadsheet Audit Live is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Audit the user's REAL spreadsheet by opening it in the Cowork sandbox — not by reading a description of it. Use when asked to check this sheet before we present it, audit the model in my Drive, why don't these numbers add up, or is this spreadsheet safe to build on. Pulls the file via the Google Drive connector (or an uploaded .xlsx), opens it programmatically in the sandbox to trace formulas, hunts hardcodes / broken ranges / unit mixes, and produces a ranked findings artifact with a verified-vs-suspect ledger…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Excel spreadsheets. It works with Microsoft Excel and Google Drive. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to check this sheet before we present it
  • Audit the model in my Drive
  • Why dont these numbers add up
  • Is this spreadsheet safe to build on

Example prompts

  • “/spreadsheet-audit-live”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Hardcode hunt first — constants typed over formulas: invisible, wrong-forever. Flag every constant where a column is otherwise formulaic.
  2. Range-edge check on every aggregate — SUM/AVERAGE/LOOKUP vs the data's real extent (the stops-at-row-40 error).
  3. Unit & time-grain consistency — monthly-vs-annual, currency, thousands-vs-units mixes at every junction (tell: a ratio ~12× or ~1000× off).
  4. Trace the load-bearing outputs — the 3–5 numbers the sheet exists to produce get full precedent traces.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Spreadsheet Audit Live loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 139 tokens; SKILL.md has 590 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~139
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Audit the user's REAL spreadsheet by opening it in the Cowork sandbox — not by reading a description of it. Use when asked to check this sheet before we present it, audit the model in my Drive, why don't these numbers add up, or is this spreadsheet safe to build on. Pulls the file via the Google Drive connector (or an uploaded .xlsx), opens it programmatically in the sandbox to trace formulas, hunts hardcodes / broken ranges / unit mixes, and produces a ranked findings artifact with a verified-vs-suspect ledger and a fix list.

Spreadsheet Audit (Live)

Spreadsheets fail silently — the SUM that stops at row 40, the hardcoded 1.1 typed over a formula, the column that's monthly in one section and annual in another. In Claude Cowork this skill opens the actual file in the sandbox and traces the real formulas, so the mistake is caught before the meeting corrects it.

What This Skill Produces

  • Findings ranked by damage — each with cell location, what's wrong, and what it's currently mis-stating
  • The verified/suspect ledger — which load-bearing outputs were traced clean and which remain unverified (unverified ≠ wrong; the label is the honesty)
  • The fix list — ordered, with make-it-robust upgrades where they matter
  • A findings artifact — the above as a shareable report, plus (on request) a corrected copy of the sheet

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The sheet — a Drive file/link or an uploaded .xlsx; the audit needs the real formulas, not a screenshot
  • The stakes — what decision it feeds (budget approval? pricing? a board number?) — depth and ranking follow the damage potential
  • Growth pattern — does data get appended? The fragility check keys on it

Framework: The Hunt Rules

  1. Hardcode hunt first — constants typed over formulas: invisible, wrong-forever. Flag every constant where a column is otherwise formulaic.
  2. Range-edge check on every aggregate — SUM/AVERAGE/LOOKUP vs the data's real extent (the stops-at-row-40 error).
  3. Unit & time-grain consistency — monthly-vs-annual, currency, thousands-vs-units mixes at every junction (tell: a ratio ~12× or ~1000× off).
  4. Trace the load-bearing outputs — the 3–5 numbers the sheet exists to produce get full precedent traces.

Execution (Cowork)

  1. Get the file — via the Google Drive connector, download the sheet (or take the uploaded .xlsx). Never audit from values alone.
  2. Open in the sandbox — use the spreadsheet tooling (the xlsx skill / a Python pass with openpyxl) to read formulas, not just cached values. Enumerate sheets, named ranges, and the formula map.
  3. Run the hunt rules programmatically — scan for constants-in-formula-columns, aggregate ranges shorter than the data, and cross-section grain mismatches; trace precedents for the headline outputs.
  4. Rank by damage — location × what-it-mis-states × the decision it feeds.
  5. Emit the artifact — findings + verified/suspect ledger + fix list. On request, write a corrected copy (never overwrite the original) with the fixes applied and a change log.

Guardrails: read-only on the source unless a corrected copy is explicitly requested, and then only as a new file; label unverified outputs honestly; if the connector/file is unavailable, say so — don't audit a sheet you couldn't open.

Output Format

A Spreadsheet Audit artifact:

Verdict

Safe to present / Fix before presenting / Do not trust — one line why

Findings (ranked by damage)
#Cell/rangeClassWhat's wrongCurrently mis-stating
Verified / suspect ledger
OutputTracedStatus
Fix list
  1. [fix] — [robust upgrade if relevant]

Quality Checks

  • Formulas were read from the real file, not inferred from values
  • Every finding names an exact cell/range
  • Load-bearing outputs are each marked verified or suspect (none silently assumed)
  • The original file was not modified; any corrected copy is a new file with a change log
  • The verdict follows the findings, not optimism

Anti-Patterns

  • Auditing the screenshot — open the actual formulas.
  • Overwriting the source — corrections go to a copy.
  • Claiming "looks fine" without tracing the headline numbers.
  • Cosmetic tidying dressed up as an audit — protect the decision, not the formatting.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Audit the budget model in my Drive before the board call."
  • "Check this spreadsheet — why don't the totals add up?"
  • "Is this sheet safe to build on? Open it and trace it."
  • "Someone left me this model; hunt it for hardcodes in Cowork."
