What recipe-compare-sheet-tabs does

This skill runs a comparison workflow across sheets inside a single spreadsheet. It reads the first tab using gws sheets +read, reads the second tab with the same command, and points out differences between rows.

It requires the gws binary on your path and the gws-sheets skill loaded in your agent. Missing either dependency causes the read commands to fail.

Install this recipe if you regularly verify spreadsheet updates through CLI agents. Without the gws tool in your setup, you can skip it.

What it helps with

  • read cell ranges from two tabs in a spreadsheet
  • identify differences between sheet tabs
  • inspect spreadsheet updates via gws commands

Example prompts for the agent

  • Compare January and February tabs in spreadsheet SHEET_ID
  • Read both sheet tabs and show the differences
