A concrete starting point
Prepare CSV cells for spreadsheet import without allowing values to become formulas. Check leading formula characters, tabs, commas and embedded quotes, while keeping the original application values unchanged.
Define the change
Describe the input, expected output and boundaries that must stay intact.
Inspect the work
Review the proposed edits and any commands before relying on their result.
Check the outcome
Compare actual behavior with the expected result. If a check fails, investigate it before applying more changes.

function csvCell(value: string): string {
const guarded = /^(?:\s*[=+@-]|[\t\r\n])/.test(value) ? "'" + value : value;
return '"' + guarded.replaceAll('"', '""') + '"';
}The example is a starting point for a real project, not a claim that generated code is already tested. Adjust paths, dependencies and expected behavior to match your application.
