What it does

Excel Pivot Wizard is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Create advanced Excel pivot tables with calculated fields and slicers. Use when building data summaries or creating interactive dashboards. Trigger with phrases like 'excel pivot', 'create pivot table', 'data summary'.

Its SKILL.md is about 520 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/README.md`, `references/README.md` and `references/pivot-formulas.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Excel spreadsheets. It works with Microsoft Excel. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Building data summaries
  • Creating interactive dashboards
  • With phrases like excel pivot
  • Create pivot table

Example prompts

  • “excel pivot”
  • “create pivot table”
  • “data summary”
  • “/excel-pivot-wizard”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash(cmd:*)

Workflow steps

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

  1. Verify source data is in tabular format with headers
  2. Create pivot table from data range
  3. Configure rows, columns, values, and filters
  4. Add calculated fields for custom metrics
  5. Insert slicers for interactive filtering
  6. Format and style for presentation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Bash(cmd:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

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

    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):

    • 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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Excel Pivot Wizard loads about 518 tokens when it runs, and up to ~837 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 189 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~518
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~837

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.
