Token cost

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

xlsx 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (recalc.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Requirements for Outputs

All Excel files

Zero Formula Errors

  • Every Excel model MUST be delivered with ZERO formula errors (#REF!, #DIV/0!, #VALUE!, #N/A, #NAME?)

Preserve Existing Templates (when updating templates)

  • Study and EXACTLY match existing format, style, and conventions when modifying files
  • Never impose standardized formatting on files with established patterns
  • Existing template conventions ALWAYS override these guidelines

Financial models

Color Coding Standards

Unless otherwise stated by the user or existing template

Industry-Standard Color Conventions
  • Blue text (RGB: 0,0,255): Hardcoded inputs, and numbers users will change for scenarios
  • Black text (RGB: 0,0,0): ALL formulas and calculations
  • Green text (RGB: 0,128,0): Links pulling from other worksheets within same workbook
  • Red text (RGB: 255,0,0): External links to other files
  • Yellow background (RGB: 255,255,0): Key assumptions needing attention or cells that need to be updated

Number Formatting Standards

Required Format Rules
  • Years: Format as text strings (e.g., "2024" not "2,024")
  • Currency: Use $#,##0 format; ALWAYS specify units in headers ("Revenue ($mm)")
  • Zeros: Use number formatting to make all zeros "-", including percentages (e.g., "$#,##0;($#,##0);-")
  • Percentages: Default to 0.0% format (one decimal)
  • Multiples: Format as 0.0x for valuation multiples (EV/EBITDA, P/E)
  • Negative numbers: Use parentheses (123) not minus -123

Formula Construction Rules

Assumptions Placement
  • Place ALL assumptions (growth rates, margins, multiples, etc.) in separate assumption cells
  • Use cell references instead of hardcoded values in formulas
  • Example: Use =B5*(1+$B$6) instead of =B5*1.05
Formula Error Prevention
  • Verify all cell references are correct
  • Check for off-by-one errors in ranges
  • Ensure consistent formulas across all projection periods
  • Test with edge cases (zero values, negative numbers)
  • Verify no unintended circular references

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
