Task Routing
| Task | Method | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| READ — analyze existing data | xlsx_reader.py + pandas |
references/read-analyze.md |
| CREATE — new xlsx from scratch | XML template | references/create.md + references/format.md |
| EDIT — modify existing xlsx | XML unpack→edit→pack | references/edit.md (+ format.md if styling needed) |
| FIX — repair broken formulas in existing xlsx | XML unpack→fix <f> nodes→pack |
references/fix.md |
| VALIDATE — check formulas | formula_check.py |
references/validate.md |
READ — Analyze data (read references/read-analyze.md first)
Start with xlsx_reader.py for structure discovery, then pandas for custom analysis. Never modify the source file.
Formatting rule: When the user specifies decimal places (e.g. "2 decimal places"), apply that format to ALL numeric values — use f'{v:.2f}' on every number. Never output 12875 when 12875.00 is required.
Aggregation rule: Always compute sums/means/counts directly from the DataFrame column — e.g. df['Revenue'].sum(). Never re-derive column values before aggregation.
CREATE — XML template (read references/create.md + references/format.md)
Copy templates/minimal_xlsx/ → edit XML directly → pack with xlsx_pack.py. Every derived value MUST be an Excel formula (<f>SUM(B2:B9)</f>), never a hardcoded number. Apply font colors per format.md.
