What it does

Working With Spreadsheets is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Creates and edits Excel spreadsheets with formulas, formatting, and financial modeling standards. Use when working with .xlsx files, financial models, data analysis, or formula-heavy spreadsheets. Covers formula recalculation, color coding standards, and common pitfalls.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/verify.py` and `skill-report.json`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Excel spreadsheets and Financial modeling. It works with Microsoft Excel and openpyxl. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Working with .xlsx files
  • Financial models
  • Formula-heavy spreadsheets

Example prompts

  • “Use the working-with-spreadsheets skill to create and edits Excel spreadsheets with formulas, formatting, and financial modeling standards”
  • “/working-with-spreadsheets”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad8daf7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Working With Spreadsheets loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 250 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 250 words (~1,347 tokens).

“Always use Excel formulas instead of calculating in Python.”
