When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Excel spreadsheets
Example prompts
- “/recipe-create-expense-tracker”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Create spreadsheet: gws drive files create --json '{"name": "Expense Tracker 2025", "mimeType": "application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet"}'
- Add headers: gws sheets +append --spreadsheet SHEET_ID --range 'Sheet1' --values '["Date", "Category", "Description", "Amount"]'
- Add first entry: gws sheets +append --spreadsheet SHEET_ID --range 'Sheet1' --values '["2025-01-15", "Travel", "Flight to NYC", "450.00"]'
- Share with manager: gws drive permissions create --params '{"fileId": "SHEET_ID"}' --json '{"role": "reader", "type": "user"…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a3768d0. 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
Recipe Create Expense Tracker loads about 293 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 97 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.
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.
