Reviews the formulas in the open workbook for the faults that silently produce wrong answers: constants typed inside expressions, ranges that stop short of their block, inconsistent formulas across a row, volatile and fragile functions, and error values hidden behind IFERROR. Changes no formula. Use when the user asks to review, audit or sanity-check the formulas or the build quality of a spreadsheet. Not for tracing one output cell back to its inputs; use model-map for that.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Formula risk review

## Purpose

Find the formula faults that do not announce themselves. A broken formula shows an error and gets fixed. A formula whose range stops one row short returns a plausible number and gets presented. The skill looks for the second kind, reports each with its cell and why it matters, and never edits the workbook.

## When to use

- The user asks to review, audit or quality-check the formulas or construction of a workbook.
- Before a model is relied on for a decision, or handed to someone else.
- Do not use to rebuild or optimise formulas. This skill reports risk, the builder decides what to change.

## Inputs

1. The open workbook (required).
2. Scope (optional): all sheets with formulas (default), or named sheets or ranges.
3. Severity floor (optional): report everything (default), or only HIGH findings.

## Procedure

1. Inventory every formula cell by sheet, and group formulas that should be identical across a row or column block.
2. Within each block, find cells whose formula differs from its neighbours. An inconsistent cell in an otherwise uniform row is the single most common cause of a wrong total.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kesslernity/awesome-copilot-office-skills/formula-risk-review@sha256:55f33abb77e3e150

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.9aa8eaa, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
