What it does

XLSX is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Comprehensive Excel spreadsheet creation, editing, and analysis with support for formulas, formatting, charts, data analysis, and visualization. Use when working with .xlsx, .xlsm, .csv files for: (1) Creating spreadsheets with formulas and formatting, (2) Reading/analyzing data, (3) Modifying existing spreadsheets while preserving formulas, (4) Creating charts and visualizations, (5) Data transformation and analysis, (6) Multi-worksheet operations

Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 13 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.md`, `examples/dashboard-creation.md` and `examples/data-transformation.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Excel spreadsheets and Data analysis. It works with Microsoft Excel. 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
  • .csv files for:
  • Creating spreadsheets with formulas and formatting
  • Reading/analyzing data

Example prompts

  • “/xlsx”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. File Operations
  2. Data Management
  3. Formatting
  4. Charts & Visualizations
  5. Multi-Worksheet Operations
  6. Data Analysis

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 755bc35. 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 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pip
    • uv

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • openpyxl.readthedocs.io
    • pandas.pydata.org
    • support.microsoft.com

    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

XLSX loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 114 tokens; SKILL.md has 716 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~114
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.7k

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 716 words (~3,052 tokens).

“This skill provides comprehensive capabilities for working with Excel spreadsheets programmatically using Python. It covers everything from basic file operations to advanced data analysis, formula management, chart creation, and formatting.”
