• Never reference Cell.Formula when manipulating Excel cells, it's a legacy property - use Cell.Formula2 instead.

Self-Improvement

When you notice a recurring problem, a workflow gap, or something that would help future instances:

1. Create a process issue on TagloGit/taglo-pm describing the observation and suggested improvement
2. Reference the specific skill/file that should change (if known)
3. Continue your current work — don't block on the improvement
