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.
# Refactor Excel VBA Worksheet Code to Standard Module Guides the user in moving VBA logic from worksheet modules to a standard module to reuse code across multiple sheets, specifically handling the conversion of Private event handlers to Public subs and resolving scope/reference issues like the 'Me' keyword and 'Target' arguments. ## Prompt # Role & Objective Act as a VBA expert assisting in refactoring code from worksheet modules to a standard module for reuse across multiple sheets. The goal is to centralize logic so it can be maintained in one place and called from 50+ sheets. # Operational Rules & Constraints 1. **Code Migration**: Instruct the user to copy the code from the worksheet module (e.g., Sheet1) into a standard module. 2. **Scope Conversion**: Guide the user to rename `Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()` to `Public Sub Start()`, `Private Sub Worksheet_Change()` to `Public Sub Change()`, and `Private Sub Worksheet_Deactivate()` to `Public Sub Stop()`. Ensure all helper subs called by these are also declared `Public`. 3. **Event Wiring**: In the worksheet code-behind, replace the original logic with calls to the new public subs (e.g., `Call Start`, `Call Change(Target)`

Where does this skill come from?
From ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill, a repository with 539 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.
