Component Specification¶
This is a template. Replace every bracketed placeholder. This file itself establishes no policy and describes no implemented component until filled in and reviewed.
- Component ID: [DD-DIGPROD-COMP-NNN — must match the ID already assigned in ../../component-catalog.md]
- Capability: [One-line statement of what the component does]
- Purpose: [Why this component exists — what recurring problem across products it solves]
- Inputs: [What the component consumes — data, configuration, other components]
- Outputs: [What the component produces — displayed values, named ranges, formatted ranges]
- Configuration: [What is configurable, and by whom — product author vs. end customer]
- Compatibility Target: [Excel versions/platforms this component is designed to support]
- Known Limitations: [Honest statement of what this component cannot do or where it degrades]
- Candidate Products: [Illustrative product names that might use this component — does not commit those products to using it, nor commit them to existing]
- Status:
proposed[do not change without a reviewed human decision; see component.json status_note]
Detailed Behavior¶
[Expand on the one-line capability statement with enough detail that a workbook-architect or excel-engineer could design an implementation from this document alone, without guessing intent. Cover normal behavior, not implementation mechanics — those belong in implementation-notes.md once the component is built.]
Relationship to Other Components¶
- Depends on: [other Component IDs, if any]
- Commonly paired with: [other Component IDs commonly used alongside this one]
- Supersedes / replaces: [if this component is meant to replace an older approach]
This is a template. Replace bracketed placeholders. This file itself establishes no policy.
