Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Model Checker description: Debug and audit financial models for errors — circular references, broken formulas, hardcoded overrides, balance sheet imbalances, cash flow mismatches, and logic gaps. Use when a model isn't tying, producing unexpected results, or before sending to a client or IC. Triggers on "debug model", "model check", "audit model", "model won't balance", "something's off in my model", "check my model", "QA model", or "model review". ## Workflow ### Step 1: Ingest the Model - Accept the user's Excel model (.xlsx or .xlsm) from `$WORK_DIR/work/{task}/` - Identify model type: DCF, LBO, merger, 3-statement, comps, returns, or custom - Map the structure: which tabs exist, how they're linked, where inputs vs. outputs live ### Step 2: Structural Checks **Tab & Layout Review:** - Are inputs clearly separated from calculations? - Is there a consistent color-coding convention? (blue = input, black = formula, green = link) - Are there hidden tabs or rows that could contain overrides? - Is the model flow logical? (assumptions → IS → BS → CF → valuation) **Formula Consistency:** - Check for hardcoded numbers inside formulas (partial hardcodes) - Check for inconsistent formulas

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ginlix-ai/LangAlpha --skill check-model --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From ginlix-ai/LangAlpha, a repository with 1,604 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
