How to use this skill

To write any internal communication:

  2. Load the appropriate guideline file from the examples/ directory:
  • examples/3p-updates.md - For Progress/Plans/Problems team updates
  • examples/company-newsletter.md - For company-wide newsletters
  • examples/faq-answers.md - For answering frequently asked questions
  • examples/general-comms.md - For anything else that doesn't explicitly match one of the above
  1. Follow the specific instructions in that file for formatting, tone, and content gathering

If the communication type doesn't match any existing guideline, ask for clarification or more context about the desired format.

xlsx

Use this skill any time a spreadsheet file is the primary input or output. This means any task where the user wants to: open, read, edit, or fix an existing .xlsx, .xlsm, .xltx, .csv, or .tsv file (e.g., adding columns, computing formulas, formatting, charting, cleaning messy data); create a new spreadsheet from scratch or from other data sources; or convert between tabular file formats. Trigger especially when the user references a spreadsheet file by name or path — even casually (like \"the xlsx in my downloads\") — and wants something done to it or produced from it. Also trigger for cleaning or restructuring messy tabular data files (malformed rows, misplaced headers, junk data) into proper spreadsheets. The deliverable must be a spreadsheet file. Do NOT trigger when the primary deliverable is a Word document, HTML report, standalone Python script, database pipeline, or Google Sheets API integration, even if tabular data is involved.
