ifc-to-excelConvert IFC files (2x3, 4x1, 4x3) to Excel databases using IfcExporter CLI.
Ifc To Excel is an agent skill from datadrivenconstruction/DDC_Skills_for_AI_Agents_in_Construction. Convert IFC files (2x3, 4x1, 4x3) to Excel databases using IfcExporter CLI. Extract BIM data, properties, and geometry without proprietary software.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `claw.json` and `instructions.md`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Excel spreadsheets. It works with Microsoft Excel. The repository describes itself as: 221 AI skills for construction: BIM analysis, cost estimation, scheduling, document control, and automation with Claude Code. The licence is MIT.
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ce45bbf. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python and bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.combuildingsmart.orgFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Ifc To Excel loads about 4.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 271 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.
The full file from datadrivenconstruction/DDC_Skills_for_AI_Agents_in_Construction at commit ce45bbf, republished under its MIT licence (© datadrivenconstruction). 271 words, ~4,270 tokens.
