excel-cli-report-formatting - Claude MCP Skill
Apply optional presentation conventions when the user requests Excel report formatting or a new reader-facing report through excelcli. Use for readable headers, meaningful number formats, financial-model colours, and report layout. Do not load for ordinary reads, raw exports, targeted data updates, Power Query or Data Model work, or failure recovery without a report-formatting request.

Documentation
SKILL.md# Report formatting with excelcli Use the user's requested style first, the existing template second, and the optional conventions in the [formatting guide](references/report-formatting.md) only when neither specifies a style. Read that guide for the requested report, not unrelated workbook work. Discover exact actions and flags with `excelcli <command> --help`. Preserve values, formulas, units, identifiers, existing layouts, and unrelated sheets. Formatting is not permission to refresh data or rebuild workbook objects. Use Table styles for Tables and the owning chart/PivotTable controls for those objects; plain-cell formatting is not interchangeable with their style systems. Inspect the affected formats and calculated outputs before saving the authorized result. Financial-model colours and dashboard visuals are optional, not a requirement for every report. Screenshots are optional and need a desktop. General workflow and recovery documentation is available on the [website](https://excelmcpserver.dev/reference/); it is not another required skill.
