Sheet Agent#

One-Line Positioning#

Transform natural language into spreadsheet comprehension, anomaly detection, business insights, and safe rewrite suggestions.

---

When to Use#

Activate this skill when the user mentions:

• Having AI read or inspect a spreadsheet for problems
• Querying data from CSV/Excel files
• Generating daily reports, weekly reports, or operations summaries
• Modifying a specific record in a spreadsheet (preview first, confirm second)
• Checking for empty values, duplicates, or anomalies in a spreadsheet

---

Usage#

text

/sheet "spreadsheet path" "natural language instruction"

Examples:

text

/sheet "~/Desktop/orders.csv" "Which orders haven't been followed up for more than 3 days?"
/sheet "~/Documents/inventory.xlsx" "Check if there are any negative inventory quantities"
/sheet "~/Desktop/orders.csv" "Generate last week's weekly report"
/sheet "~/Desktop/customers.csv" "Change the customer tier in row 8 to VIP"

---

Core Features#

1. Spreadsheet Reading & Comprehension#

• Supports CSV and Excel (.xlsx) files
• Auto-recognizes column names and data types
• Infers business type (orders/inventory/leads/daily report)

2. Business Queries (Natural Language to Structured Results)#

• "Orders not followed up for more than X days"
• "Orders with amount greater than Y"
• "Find all VIP customers"
• "Sum quantities by sales representative"

3. Anomaly Detection#

• Empty values (missing data)
• Negative numbers (inventory/quantity columns)
• Duplicate IDs
• Date anomalies (future dates, inconsistent formats)
• Value anomalies (beyond reasonable ranges)

4. Daily / Weekly / Operations Summaries#

• Auto-detects time range
• Generates structured summary:
  • Overall view (total count, sum, average)
  • Distribution stats (category percentages, top items)
  • Anomaly record list
  • Trend descriptions

5. Change Preview (Key Safety Mechanism)#

All changes show a preview first — execute only after user confirmation.

User says "Change the amount in row 5 to 15000": -> The agent shows a preview and does NOT write yet -> If the user replies "confirm", execute the write -> If the user replies "cancel", do nothing

Safety Principles#

1. Read-only by default: Any operation does not modify files by default
2. Write only on confirmation: Write operations require explicit user confirmation
3. Backup before write: Automatically back up original file to backup/ directory
4. Ask when uncertain: If column meaning is unclear, proactively ask the user instead of assuming

---

Limitations#

• Recommended maximum of 100,000 rows per operation
• Supports CSV and .xlsx formats
• Version 1 does not handle cross-spreadsheet joins
