What it does

Spreadsheet Formula Helper is an agent skill from composio-community/awesome-codex-skills. Write and debug spreadsheet formulas (Excel/Google Sheets), pivot tables, and array formulas; translate between dialects; use when users need working formulas with examples and edge-case checks.

Its SKILL.md is about 330 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Excel spreadsheets. It works with Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of practical Codex skills for automating workflows across the Codex CLI and API.

When your agent uses it

  • Users need working formulas with examples and edge-case checks
  • Tasks that involve Excel spreadsheets

Example prompts

  • “/spreadsheet-formula-helper”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Restate the problem with explicit ranges and sheet names; propose a minimal sample to verify.
  2. Draft formula(s); when dynamic arrays are available, prefer them over copy-down formulas.
  3. Explain how it works and where to place it; include named ranges if helpful.
  4. Edge cases: blank rows, mixed types, timezone/date quirks, duplicates; offer guardrails (e.g., IFERROR, LET, LAMBDA).
  5. Variants: if porting between Excel and Sheets, provide both versions.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0930e13. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Spreadsheet Formula Helper loads about 328 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 134 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~328

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 134 words (~328 tokens).
