Agent Workflow (Always Follow This Order)

1. Orient — Take a screenshot. Confirm you're on the right tab/sheet. Identify existing data range.
2. Plan — Decide what cells to read or write, in what order.

4. Verify — Take a screenshot after each meaningful action to confirm the result before continuing.
5. Recover if needed — If something looks wrong, Cmd+Z immediately before doing anything else.
