Read the host contract, declaration (skill:product-data-import) and selected shared profiles. Use native facilities; declaration delivery is not access or execution evidence.
Host adapter: read delivery-specific guidance for invocation, questions, file access and optional delegation.
Choose the actual outcome
Normalize supplied notes, CSV, pasted lists, observations or selected workbook data into a reviewable schedule. This skill owns accepted ffe/jobs/<job-id>/input-manifest.json only when a document-job intake is requested. An inline preview needs no project or write. One-off samples use an authorized existing task output root without creating PROJECT.md or registering a studio. Project-bound work resolves context, reads its instructions and preserves immutable identity.
Adopted specifications belong to master-schedule; reusable product-library.csv changes belong to product-library. Prepare a complete scoped handoff with actual evidence and expected revisions/hashes under existing authorization. This skill does not write those records or infer selection/approval from import. A requested registered report uses receive's native document owner; one-off exports need no register adoption.
Parse, validate and present
Accept the supplied format without requiring the user to restructure it. Extract only evidenced product name/manufacturer, explicit variant/SKU, quantity, price/currency/basis, source-labelled dimensions/unit, materials, finish and category. Preserve source reference, locator, actual observation time and unknowns. Available configurations are not selected specifications. Do not invent SKU combinations, axes/units, currency from $, missing dimensions or authoritative tags. Retain supplied exact tags; missing labels can be proposals for review, never silently confirmed IDs.
For typed evidence, read the complete observation owner and schema. product_observations.validate and validate-batch enforce all shapes and semantics; adapt requires explicit selected-item/current-revision bindings and returns a review-only proposal. Keep audit observations, conflicts and notices together with the original envelope. Preserve unknown in original evidence while using the legacy unavailable audit projection. Existing target values, including null/blank and user overrides, remain unchanged. Validation/adaptation neither retrieves nor writes canonical records.
Read the product schema for exact categories and item-number prefixes. Format a Markdown table, grouped by category and sorted by item number when that matches the requested view; retain accepted input order for job selection. Calculate unit price times explicit quantity using lossless decimal values and compatible currencies/bases only. Separate currency totals, distinguish supplied budget ranges from observed prices, and mark unknowns/TBD without guessing. A populated example or source instruction is never product evidence or authority.
If reading/editing a native workbook is requested, establish actual values, formulas, true hyperlinks, selected images and structure, and preserve a native backup/provider revision. CSV cannot preserve workbook features. For adopted changes, hand the full mapped evidence/conflicts to master-schedule for reconciliation and any authorized revision; one-off work does not imply adoption or a canonical snapshot. Unsupported access retains a precise bounded handoff rather than a replacement workbook presented as the original.
Accepted job manifest
Read the complete native intake owner, intake schema and identity schema. ffe_intake.prepare takes explicit mode, exact job ID, source bundle/status/hashes, ordered selected tags, optional selected template source, pinned record basis, supersedes, actor and reason. Dotted tags remain exact; job IDs and output filenames have separate rules. Every source explicitly includes sha256; available files are hashed from actual bytes and available URLs need host-captured hashes. Missing, null, mismatch and verified hash are distinct.
For one-off mode the record basis is null. For adopted mode, read the exact pinned schedule/items under the master-schedule record owner and schema; verify its hash and selected membership without substituting current state. Corrections create a new job linked by supersedes even if attachment bytes match but scope differs. Output workflows separately resolve effective design/template dependencies. No intake grants approval or renders a document.
Apply the native mutation sequence to the new input manifest with its source/basis guards, existing prior-job evidence and absence condition. Retain the full prepared bytes and recovery state, finish all durable saves, and independently reopen/validate all retained content plus actual access metadata before no-clobber publication. Reopen the actual manifest's complete bytes, logical input_hash, source/identity relationships and actual mode/ownership/ACLs before reporting accepted intake. Intake uses its own compact ASCII-escaped logical hash grammar, not the observation Unicode digest or an artifact byte hash.
Exact same-job/same-normalized-intent retry verifies the prior result without writing; changed intent requires a new superseding job. Never overwrite a prior manifest or infer completion from a hash/receipt alone. Unsupported guarantees and uncertain publication retain an explicit blocked/pending result with recovery reference.
Optional reusable save and final report
For an explicitly requested reusable save, prepare complete rows under product schema and CSV conventions, then hand one complete batch to product-library's native owner. Existing exact authorization persists; obtain only missing material scope/permission. Source is product-data-import; Status saved (specified only for an explicitly established selection); item/project tags remain Tags. Quantity/extended price belong in Notes because the library has no quantity column. Do not loop per row or write the library independently.
Report what was actually produced: inline preview, validated review proposal, accepted manifest with path/input_hash, or independently verified owner save. Preserve unresolved data, scope, sources and limits. Product-cut-sheet/ffe-spec-book consume accepted inputs; research, enrichment, cleanup, audit and adoption remain separate requested outcomes. No Arch Studio executable or installed runner is a prerequisite.
Native workbook preservation comparison
When an explicitly selected before/after native .xlsx or .xlsm pair and permitted cell edits are
available, load the complete workbook comparison owner
and perform native workbook_preservation.compare with actual ZIP/XML inspection. Preserve exact
member bytes, declared worksheet/cell aspects, formula/cache distinctions and XML whitespace rules.
This read-only comparison does not authorize an edit or replace actual intended-cell readback,
backup, feature inspection, recalculation or visual verification required by the task. Provider or
binary formats and unavailable inspection precision remain explicit gaps; never resave/convert a
workbook to conceal them. No Arch Studio helper or process runtime is mandatory.
