Explain an Excel or Google Sheets formula
For anyone stuck on a spreadsheet formula they did not write: a plain-words, step-by-step explanation with common mistakes spotted. A local script breaks the formula into its functions, cell references, and nesting, and flags VLOOKUP without exact match, typed-in rates, whole-column ranges, and ranges that shift when copied.

How this works
- It is a skill: written instructions Claude reads when your request matches what the skill is for. You do not call it by name; just ask for the task.
- While it works, it reads and changes files in the places it lists, nowhere else.
- It runs these commands on your computer: node scripts/formula-check.mjs.
- Nothing runs until you choose to use it, and you can remove it any time.
What it can access
What this kit says it will touch, the same list you see before you add it. These are its Permissions: What a kit is allowed to touch on your computer or accounts, such as reading a folder or using the internet. You see them before you add it.. In Claude Code they become rules, so Claude stops anything not on the list.
Command
Runs the command: node scripts/formula-check.mjs (with any arguments, without asking)
