If Connectors Available
If ~~HRIS is connected:
- Pull prior review history and goal tracking data
- Pre-populate employee details and current role information
If ~~project tracker is connected:
- Pull completed work and contributions for the review period
- Reference specific tickets and project milestones as evidence
Tips
- Be specific — "Great job" isn't feedback. "You reduced deploy time 40% by implementing the new CI pipeline" is.
- Balance positive and constructive — Both are essential. Neither should be a surprise.
- Focus on behaviors, not personality — "Your documentation has been incomplete" vs. "You're careless."
- Make development actionable — "Improve communication" is vague. "Present at the next team all-hands" is actionable.

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.
