+# Xlsx Skill
+
+Work with Excel .xlsx workbooks using Python and openpyxl: build styled
+multi-sheet workbooks with formulas and charts, inspect or dump existing
+files, edit cells and structure, and convert to/from CSV. All helper
+scripts are argparse CLIs that print JSON and use explicit UTF-8 I/O.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- Creating .xlsx reports: multiple sheets, number formats, styling,
+  merged cells, freeze panes, autofilter, conditional formatting,
+  charts, data-validation dropdowns, native Excel tables, defined
+  names, hyperlinks, cell notes, sheet protection.
+- Reading a workbook: sheet inventory, dumping data as JSON or CSV,
+  listing formulas vs cached values, notes, defined names, tables.
+- Editing existing files: set cells, append rows, insert/delete
+  rows/columns (reference-aware via `xlsx_restructure.py`),
+  copy/rename sheets, tables, names, notes, protection.
+- Recalculating formulas headlessly via LibreOffice
+  (`xlsx_recalc.py`).
+- CSV interop with type inference and non-UTF-8 encodings.
+- Not for the legacy .xls binary format (use LibreOffice to convert
+  first: `soffice --headless --convert-to xlsx old.xls`).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.10+ with `openpyxl` (`pip install openpyxl`). No other
+  third-party packages are needed; everything else is stdlib.
+- Optional: LibreOffice (`soffice`) for headless recalculation or
+  format conversion.
+
+## How to Run
+
+Run the helper scripts with the `terminal` tool from this skill's
+`scripts/` directory (every script supports `--help`):
+
+```bash
+python scripts/xlsx_create.py spec.json report.xlsx   # build from JSON spec
+python scripts/xlsx_read.py report.xlsx --sheets      # inventory
+python scripts/xlsx_read.py report.xlsx --json --sheet Data
+python scripts/xlsx_read.py report.xlsx --formulas
+python scripts/xlsx_edit.py report.xlsx --sheet Data --set B2=42 --recalc
+python scripts/xlsx_restructure.py report.xlsx --sheet Data --insert-rows 3:2
+python scripts/xlsx_recalc.py report.xlsx
+python scripts/csv_to_xlsx.py data.csv out.xlsx --encoding utf-8
+python scripts/xlsx_to_csv.py report.xlsx out.csv --sheet Data
+```
+
+Author the JSON spec with `write_file`, inspect script JSON output with
+`read_file` or directly from stdout.
+

+
+## Procedure
+
+1. **Create**: write a JSON spec (schema documented in
+   `xlsx_create.py --help` and its docstring). Each sheet supports
+   `rows` (scalars or styled cell objects), sparse `cells` overrides,
+   `column_widths`, `row_heights`, `merges`, `freeze_panes`,
+   `autofilter`, `conditional_formats` (cell_is rules and color
+   scales), `charts` (bar/line/pie from cell ranges),
+   `validations` (list dropdowns), `tables` (native Excel tables with
+   a style name), and `protection`. Workbook-level `defined_names`
+   maps names to refs. Cell objects also take `hyperlink` and `note`.
+   Typed values: JSON numbers/bools
+   pass through; dates use `{"value": "2026-01-31", "type": "date"}`.
+   Number formats are Excel format strings: currency `"$#,##0.00"`,
+   percent `"0.0%"`, date `"yyyy-mm-dd"`.
+2. **Formulas**: set with `"formula": "SUM(B2:B9)"` in the spec or
+   `--set "C1==SUM(A:A)"` in the editor. When writing formulas, add
+   `"full_calc_on_load": true` (spec) or `--recalc` (editor); this sets
+   the workbook's `fullCalcOnLoad` flag so Excel/LibreOffice recompute
+   everything on open. openpyxl itself NEVER evaluates formulas.
+3. **Read**: `--sheets` for inventory (names, dimensions, merged
+   ranges, chart count, tables, protection, defined names),
+   `--json`/`--csv` for data, `--formulas` to
+   pair each formula string with its cached result, `--notes` for
+   cell comments, `--names` for defined names. Cached results
+   exist only if the file was last saved by a real spreadsheet app;
+   files fresh from openpyxl return `null` there. To materialize
+   results headlessly run `xlsx_recalc.py file.xlsx` (uses
+   LibreOffice; prints `{"recalculated": false, ...}` and exits 0
+   when `soffice` is absent), then reload with `--data-only`.
+4. **Edit**: `xlsx_edit.py` applies renames/copies first, then
+   structural row/column changes, then `--set`/`--append`. It edits in
+   place unless `--out` is given — copy the file first if you need the
+   original.
+5. **Restructure**: for insert/delete on sheets that have formulas,
+   merges, tables, or filters, use `xlsx_restructure.py` instead of
+   `xlsx_edit.py`. It rewrites formula references on ALL sheets
+   (absolute `$` refs, ranges, cross-sheet refs), shifts merges,
+   autofilter, freeze panes, validation and conditional-format
+   ranges, table refs, defined names, and row/column dimensions, then
+   prints a JSON report including a `not_shifted` list. Rules and
+   limits: `references/restructuring.md`.
+6. **CSV interop**: `csv_to_xlsx.py` infers int/float/bool/ISO-date
+   per cell and styles the header row; `xlsx_to_csv.py` writes ISO
+   dates and blank strings for empty cells. Both default to UTF-8 and
+   accept `--encoding` (e.g. `utf-8-sig` for Excel-friendly BOM,
+   `cp1252` for legacy Windows exports).
+
+## Converting to PDF
+
+LibreOffice converts headlessly (also works for CSV export of a single
+sheet):
+
+```bash
+soffice --headless --convert-to pdf report.xlsx --outdir out/
+soffice --headless --convert-to csv report.xlsx --outdir out/  # 1st sheet only
+```
+
+Only the first sheet lands in a CSV; for other sheets use
+`xlsx_to_csv.py --sheet NAME`. If `soffice` is missing, install
+LibreOffice or hand the file to the user unconverted.
+
+## Pitfalls
+
+- **openpyxl does not calculate.** Formula results are available only
+  via `load_workbook(path, data_only=True)` and only when the file was
+  previously saved by Excel/LibreOffice. Otherwise you get `None`.
+- **`xlsx_edit.py` insert/delete does not shift references** (raw
+  openpyxl behavior). Use `xlsx_restructure.py`, which does — but even
+  it cannot move chart anchors, images, or conditional-format RULE
+  formulas; read its JSON report's `not_shifted` list and
+  `references/restructuring.md`.
+- **Sheet protection is NOT security.** `--protect` sets the standard
+  xlsx sheet-protection hash: it signals "don't edit this" to
+  well-behaved apps and nothing more. Anyone can strip it by editing
+  the zip's XML or unchecking it in LibreOffice. Never rely on it for
+  confidentiality or integrity; it does not encrypt anything.
+- **`data_only=True` then save** silently discards all formulas
+  (cached values replace them). Never save a workbook loaded that way
+  unless that is the goal.
+- **Loading strips charts/images**: openpyxl does not round-trip
+  charts, so editing a charted workbook and saving drops the charts.
+  Re-add charts after editing, or avoid re-saving charted files.
+- **CSV locale traps**: always pass explicit encodings (the scripts
+  already do) and remember European CSVs often use `;` delimiters and
+  decimal commas — use `--delimiter ';'` and expect strings like
+  `"12,5"` to stay strings.
+- **Dates are datetimes**: Excel stores dates as serial numbers;
+  openpyxl returns `datetime`/`date` objects. Dumps here emit ISO
+  strings.
+- Sheet names are capped at 31 chars and reject `[ ] : * ? / \`.
+
+## Verification
+
+- After creating: `xlsx_read.py out.xlsx --sheets` and confirm sheet
+  names, dimensions, merged ranges, and chart counts match intent.
+- Dump data with `--json` and compare against the source values.
+- After edits: re-dump the touched range; if formulas were written,
+  confirm `--formulas` lists them and that `--recalc` was applied.
+- After `xlsx_restructure.py`: read its JSON report, then re-run
+  `--formulas` and `--sheets` to confirm references and ranges landed
+  where expected.
+- For a full visual check, open in LibreOffice:
+  `soffice --headless --convert-to pdf out.xlsx` and inspect the PDF.

+# Reference-aware restructuring (xlsx_restructure.py)
+
+`scripts/xlsx_restructure.py` performs one row/column insert or delete
+and rewrites supported references to the moved cells. This document
+gives the exact rewrite rules and honest limits.
+
+## What gets rewritten
+
+| Artifact | Scope | Behavior |
+|---|---|---|
+| Formula references | ALL sheets | A1 refs into the edited sheet are shifted; refs into a fully deleted region become `#REF!` |
+| Merged-cell ranges | edited sheet | shifted; expanded when they span the insertion point; dropped (reported `to: null`) when fully deleted |
+| Autofilter ref | edited sheet | shifted/expanded like a range |
+| Freeze panes | edited sheet | anchor cell shifted (never below row/col of the pane's own minimum) |
+| Data validations | edited sheet | each range in the sqref shifted; deleted ranges removed |
+| Conditional formats | edited sheet | applied range (sqref) shifted |
+| Native tables | edited sheet | ref/filter synchronized; column insertion adds matching tableColumns/header names; partial column deletion and header-only deletion refused before save |
+| Defined names | workbook and sheet scope | supported `attr_text` refs into the edited sheet rewritten |
+| Row heights / column widths | edited sheet | dimension keys re-indexed |
+
+## Reference grammar handled
+
+- Relative and absolute coordinates in any mix: `B2`, `$B2`, `B$2`,
+  `$B$2` — the `$` flags are preserved through the shift.
+- Ranges `B2:D9`, including partial-absolute endpoints.
+- Cross-sheet refs: `Data!B2`, `'My Sheet'!$A$1:$C$9` (quoted names may
+  contain doubled quotes `''`). Only refs whose sheet qualifier matches
+  the edited sheet are touched; unqualified refs are interpreted
+  relative to the formula's own sheet.
+- String literals inside formulas (`"See B2"`) are never rewritten.
+- Function names that look like cells (`LOG10(...)`) are not touched
+  (a reference is never followed by `(`).
+- Whole-row/column refs (`B:B`, `2:2`) shift with the edited axis, preserving
+  absolute flags. External-workbook and structured references are not rewritten.
+  Three-dimensional sheet spans fail before save instead of being guessed.
+
+## Shift semantics
+
+Insert of N at index i: every coordinate >= i moves +N; range endpoints
+move independently, so a range spanning i grows by N.
+
+Delete of N at index i: coordinates before i are unchanged; coordinates
+past the deleted block move -N; a single cell inside the block becomes
+`#REF!`; a RANGE partially covering the block is clamped (Excel does the
+same); a range entirely inside the block becomes `#REF!` (formulas) or
+is removed (merges/validations).
+
+## What it CANNOT shift (honest limits)
+
+- **Chart anchors and plotted ranges** — openpyxl chart objects are not
+  reliably round-tripped; anchors stay where they were. Re-create
+  charts after restructuring if their data moved.
+- **Images / drawings** — same reason.
+- **Conditional-format RULE formulas** — the applied range (sqref) is
+  shifted, but formulas inside `cell_is`/`expression` rules (e.g.
+  `$B1>100`) are left as-is. Review them if they reference moved cells.
+- **Validation formulas and table calculated-column formulas** require manual
+  review or explicit reconstruction; their ranges alone are updated.
+- **Sheet-local defined names** and names using R1C1 or union/
+  intersection operators are rewritten only if they parse as plain A1
+  refs; anything else passes through untouched.
+- **Structured table references** in formulas (`Table1[Sales]`) don't
+  need shifting (they follow the table), and are left alone.
+
+Every run prints a JSON report listing exactly which formulas, merges,
+tables, names, and ranges were changed, plus a fixed `not_shifted` list
+of the above limits — inspect it after any structural edit.
+
+## One op per invocation
+
+The CLI takes exactly one of `--insert-rows/--delete-rows/
+--insert-cols/--delete-cols` (as `IDX[:N]`; columns accept letters).
+For multiple operations run it repeatedly — ordering compound shifts in
+one pass is where spreadsheet tools historically corrupt references.
