spreadsheet-model-builder

spreadsheet-model-builder is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SkillMedev/document-studio. It costs 143 tokens per session (1,676 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for building spreadsheet models that separate inputs, calculations, and outputs so another analyst can check them. A spreadsheet model is a workbook that turns assumptions into forecasts or other results.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for structuring financial or analytical workbooks, documenting assumptions, comparing scenarios, and adding checks for errors.
Why use it?
It reduces hidden hardcoded values, inconsistent formulas, and unclear scenario changes that can make a workbook difficult to audit.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

spreadsheet-model-builder scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Spreadsheet Model Builder

A spreadsheet model is judged by whether a second analyst can verify it without a guided tour. The costly failure is not a wrong formula - it is a hidden wrong formula: a hardcoded number buried in cell F47, an inconsistent row that Ctrl+\ would have caught, a scenario someone ran by overtyping inputs and never restoring. This skill builds models where errors have nowhere to hide.

Operating procedure

Structure comes before formulas: retrofitting sheet separation onto a finished tangle costs more than the model did.

Step 1: gather inputs

  • What question the model answers and who reviews it. A model only the builder reads can cut corners; a reviewed model cannot.
  • The time axis: granularity (monthly/quarterly), horizon, and history vs forecast boundary.
  • Every assumption the user already holds, each with a source. Anything unsourced gets written down anyway - labeled a guess in the note column, never silently blended with sourced numbers.
  • How many scenarios are needed. Decide now: each scenario is a column on the Inputs sheet, never a separate file.

Step 2: lay out the sheet structure

Separate sheets with single roles:

  • Inputs (or Assumptions) - every editable variable lives here, and only here.
  • Calcs - derived values only; no raw inputs, nothing typed by hand.
  • Output (or Summary) - the numbers a reader cares about, linked from Calcs.
  • Data - raw imported or pasted data, never edited by hand.
  • Cover - what the model does, key assumptions, what changed in the last update.

The iron rule: no hardcoded number inside a formula, anywhere. If a value might ever change, it is an input. =D12*1.05 is a bug even when 5% is correct today, because nobody will find it when it stops being correct.

Step 3: build the Inputs sheet

  • Group assumptions by theme: revenue, costs, headcount, timing.
  • Every row carries a clear label, units, and the basis for the number in an adjacent note column ("per signed MSA", "mgmt guess", "trailing 6-mo actual").
  • Color-code inputs distinctly (blue text on white is the convention) so an auditor identifies editable cells at a glance without a legend.
  • Date the assumption set on the sheet.
  • Scenarios (base / upside / downside) are side-by-side columns with one live selector cell; formulas read the selected column via INDEX, so switching scenarios is one edit, and no one ever overtypes the base case.
