Xlsx Processing Manus

Use this skill any time a spreadsheet file is the primary input or output. This means any task where the user wants to: open, read, edit, or fix an existing .xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, or .tsv file (e.g., adding columns, computing formulas, formatting, charting, cleaning messy data); create a new spreadsheet from scratch or from other data sources; or convert between tabular file formats. Trigger especially when the user references a spreadsheet file by name or path — even casually (like "the xlsx in my downloads") — and wants something done to it or produced from it. Also trigger for cleaning or restructuring messy tabular data files (malformed rows, misplaced headers, junk data) into proper spreadsheets. The deliverable must be a spreadsheet file. Do NOT trigger when the primary deliverable is a Word document, HTML report, standalone Python script, database pipeline, or Google Sheets API integration, even if tabular data is involved.

Toolkit for comprehensive Spreadsheet reading, creation, editing, and analysis with visual quality control. Use to work with spreadsheets (.xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, .tsv) for: (1) Creating new spreadsheets with formulas and formatting, (2) Reading or analyzing tabular data, (3) Modifying existing spreadsheets while preserving formulas, (4) Building financial models with proper formatting, (5) Data visualization with in-sheet charts, or any other spreadsheet tasks.

Design and execute insect population surveys covering survey design, sampling methods, field execution, specimen identification, diversity index calculation including Shannon-Wiener and Simpson indices, statistical analysis, and reporting. Covers defining survey objectives, selecting study sites, determining sampling intensity and replication, choosing sampling methods appropriate to target taxa, standardizing collection effort, recording environmental covariates, identifying specimens to the lowest practical taxonomic level, calculating species richness, Shannon-Wiener diversity (H'), Simpson diversity (1-D), evenness, rarefaction curves, multivariate ordination, and producing survey reports with species lists and conservation implications. Use when conducting baseline biodiversity assessments, monitoring insect populations over time, comparing insect communities across habitats or treatments, assessing environmental impact, or supporting conservation planning with quantitative ecological data.

Fit cognitive drift-diffusion models (Ratcliff DDM) to reaction time and accuracy data with parameter estimation (drift rate, boundary separation, non-decision time), model comparison, and parameter recovery validation. Use when modeling binary decision-making with reaction time data, estimating cognitive parameters from experimental data, comparing sequential sampling model variants, or decomposing speed-accuracy tradeoff effects into latent cognitive components.

Designs an A/B test or experiment with clear hypothesis, variants, success metrics, sample size, and duration. Use when planning experiments to validate product changes or test hypotheses.
