The Scenario
A product manager on the team left last month. Before she left, she handed you an Excel workbook — 10 rows, each one a feature spec: doc title, target folder in Dart, and a full markdown body she'd drafted. The handoff note says "just needs to go into Dart's Product Specs folder."
You open the workbook. The content is solid. The specs are well-written, properly structured, ready to share with engineering. They just need to exist as Dart docs, not as rows in a workbook nobody will check.
The bad version:
- Open Dart, click New Doc in the Product Specs folder, copy the title from row 1, paste the markdown body, save.
- Notice Dart's doc editor interprets some markdown differently than the source — headings come through, but tables don't render correctly — so you spend time fixing the formatting.
- Repeat for all 10 rows, spending 4-5 minutes per doc.
The engineering team is asking when the specs will be in Dart. You've been the owner of this handoff for three weeks and you keep moving it to tomorrow.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads your spec workbook and creates each Dart doc directly — title, folder, and content mapped from the columns you specify.
Turn all 10 spec outlines in my Excel sheet into Dart docs: title in column A, content in column B — place them all in the 'Product Specs' folder
What You Get
- 10 Dart docs created in the folders specified in column B
- Each doc titled from column A and populated with the markdown from column C
- Docs immediately visible to the engineering team in the Dart sidebar
- Any row where the folder name doesn't match an existing Dart folder surfaced as an error, not silently misplaced
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
All docs should go into the same folder regardless of what column B says
Create a Dart doc for each row in my workbook — use column A as the title and column C as the content — place all of them in the 'Product Specs' folder in Dart
Some markdown bodies in column C contain placeholder text that needs to be stripped first
For each row in my spec workbook: remove any text in column C that matches the pattern [PLACEHOLDER: ...], then create a Dart doc using column A as the title, column B as the folder, and the cleaned column C as the content
Doc titles need a prefix added based on the product area in column D
Create a Dart doc for each row — prefix the title in column A with the value in column D followed by a colon (e.g., 'Payments: Feature Title'), use column B as the folder and column C as the content
Kill-chain: validate folders, strip placeholders, prefix titles, create docs, log results
For each row in the 'Specs' worksheet: check that the folder name in column B exists in Dart, strip placeholder text from column C, prefix the title in column A with column D followed by a colon, create the Dart doc, and write 'Created' or the error into column E
One prompt handles the validation, cleanup, formatting, and creation in sequence.
