HOW A SKILL WORKS
A senior TM1 consultant's checklist, run in minutes
A tool reads a cell. A TM1 AI skill knows what to read, in what order, and how to turn it into something you can hand to your CFO or your developers.
1. Ask in plain English
“Is this model ready for TM1 12?” or “Why is Net Sales under budget?” No MDX, no TI, no setup per question.
2. The skill follows a proven procedure
It reads the right cubes, rules, processes and logs through the Plaicel TM1 MCP Server, in the order an expert would.
3. You get the finished deliverable
A ranked report, a variance bridge or a commentary draft, with every finding tied to the object it came from.
THE 20 SKILLS
The 20 TM1 AI skills: what you ask and what you get back
Grouped by who uses them. Every skill reads your model through the Plaicel TM1 MCP Server and never changes it.
FINANCE & FP&A
For finance teams
Explain the numbers, write the narrative and test scenarios without waiting on a TM1 developer.
Variance analysis
The gap measured and broken down through TM1’s own consolidations and rules, with the drivers listed largest first.
“Why is Net Sales under budget?”
Month-end commentary
A headline, a short variance table, commentary bullets and data notes, ready for the management pack.
“Write the September commentary”
Forecast accuracy
Forecast error and bias by period, plus the products, customers or regions that were forecast worst.
“How accurate was our Q3 forecast?”
What-if analysis
The effect on your plan, worked through your model’s own logic. Nothing is written to TM1.
“What if price rises 3%?”
Reconciliation
Matching lines, differences above tolerance and one-sided items, with totals that tie or a gap that is shown.
“Reconcile the trial balance to the Finance cube”
Cell trace
The rule and consolidation path behind a value, traced down to the inputs that drive it.
“How is this number calculated?”
KPI dashboard
A visual summary of live TM1 numbers you can share.
“Build a dashboard of Q3 results”
Business user guide
A plain-English guide to what the model holds and how to use it.
“Explain this model to the finance team”
MODEL OWNERS & ADMINS
For TM1 administrators
Keep the model healthy, the loads running and the security tight.
Model health check
Rules, feeders, processes, chores, settings and logs reviewed. Every finding says what was found, why it matters and how to fix it.
“Run a health check on this model”
Data freshness
Each cube marked current, stale or unknown, with the loads, failures and last changes behind the status.
“Are September actuals loaded?”
Data audit
Totals that don’t add up, missing or odd values, feeder gaps and recent data changes.
“Do our totals tie?”
Process troubleshooting
The failing process and step, the cause from the error logs, and the fix.
“Why did last night's load fail?”
Security audit
Users, groups, admin rights and cube, element, process and chore access, with the risks flagged.
“Review our TM1 security”
Impact analysis
Every rule, process, chore, view and subset that uses it, grouped by how badly a change would hurt.
“What breaks if we rename this element?”
Feeder trace
The feeder statements that cover a cell, or a warning when a rule-calculated cell looks unfed.
“Is this cell fed?”
Rule review
Each rule region in plain words, likely problems with line numbers, and suggested rewrites.
“Review the rules on the Sales cube”
DEVELOPERS & UPGRADES
For developers and upgrade projects
Review code, document models and plan the move to TM1 12.
TM1 12 readiness
Blockers and required changes, each tied to the object, the line and IBM’s published guidance.
“Is this model ready for TM1 12?”
TI code review
Findings by tab and line, why each one matters, and the fix.
“Review this TurboIntegrator process”
Technical documentation
Dimensions, rules, feeders, processes, chores and views in a developer handover pack.
“Document the Sales cube for handover”
Dynamic report builder
A Planning Analytics for Excel dynamic report build sheet with the exact formulas and cells.
“Build a P&L report in Excel”
WHERE THEY RUN
Run them in Claude, wherever you work
Skills run wherever Claude is connected to the Plaicel TM1 MCP Server.
Claude in Excel
Explain a variance beside the live Plaicel report it came from.
Claude for Google Sheets
Write month-end commentary straight into a spreadsheet.
Claude Desktop
Run long reviews such as a full health check or TM1 12 readiness report.
Claude on the web
Ask from any browser, with no install.
SAFE BY DESIGN
Built to be trusted with a production model
Skills sit on the same read-only, per-user foundation as the Plaicel TM1 MCP Server.
Read-only
Skills read data, metadata, rules and logs. Nothing is written, run or deleted.
Your TM1 rights
Every request runs as the signed-in user, so a skill sees only what that person can see.
Shows its work
Findings name the cube, process or rule and the line they came from, so they can be checked.
States its limits
Reports say what was checked and what wasn’t, instead of guessing.
