| description | Use when an AI agent needs to edit, test, debug, or validate an Excel VBA workbook with xlflow. Provides the safe source-to-workbook proof loop and routes specialized work to focused references. |
xlflow Skill
Purpose
Use xlflow as the proof loop for Excel VBA work. Source changes are not complete
until xlflow has imported the relevant source and produced evidence appropriate to
the behavior: diagnostics, focused tests, macro execution, or workbook inspection.
This Skill is an orchestration contract. Use xlflow help, structured output, and
the command documentation for command syntax, flags, result schemas, and detailed
diagnostics. Load a specialized reference before taking on the matching workflow.
Quick Orientation
When xlflow is unfamiliar, a needed capability is not in this map, or installed
behavior may differ from prior knowledge, run xlflow --help before choosing a
command. Use command-specific help when the map identifies a command but its
required inputs or safe options are unclear.
Use this map to choose the first command for a goal. It is a discovery aid, not a
complete CLI reference; read structured output and load the named reference for
the next decision.
| Goal | Start with | Use it when |
|---|
| Discover available capabilities | xlflow --help | xlflow is unfamiliar or the needed feature is unknown |
| Check source, workbook, and session state | xlflow status --json | before workbook work or after a failure |
| Diagnose Excel, COM, or VBIDE setup | xlflow doctor --json | automation cannot be trusted |
| Export workbook VBA into source | xlflow pull --session --json |
