## What it does

This skill inspects `Template.xml` files inside 1C spreadsheet document templates. It detects broken palette references and misaligned merged cell boundaries. It also checks named area ranges and input field consistency.

Under the hood, the skill executes `mxl-validate.ps1` via PowerShell. It requires a `<TemplatePath>` parameter pointing to the template directory or the `Template.xml` file. You can pass `-Detailed` to inspect passing checks, or stop execution early with `-MaxErrors` (defaults to 20).

The validator runs directly through `powershell.exe`. Therefore, a working PowerShell binary must be available in your path.
