The skill provides a well-structured overview of Excel variance analysis with clear instructions and error handling. The description adequately conveys the skill's purpose for CLI invocation. However, taskKnowledge is limited by the absence of concrete formulas, template structures, or automation scripts—the skill relies heavily on manual Excel operations that a CLI agent would struggle to execute without detailed technical guidance. The novelty score is moderate because variance analysis is a common financial task that experienced users or spreadsheet tools can handle relatively easily, though the structured approach does add some value. The reference to variance-formulas.md suggests additional details exist. Overall, this is a solid procedural guide but lacks the technical depth and automation that would make it highly valuable for AI-driven execution.
