What it does

Current Sheet is an agent skill from lianghsun/open-sheet. Use this skill to find out which workbook, sheet, and cell the user is currently looking at in the open-sheet viewer, so an instruction like "make this bold" or "why is this wrong?" resolves to the right place without asking. Use it whenever the user refers to "this cell", "this sheet", "the one I'm looking at", or gives an instruction with no explicit workbook id.

Its SKILL.md is about 440 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. The repository describes itself as: The spreadsheet framework built for agents — write the model as React, export a live .xlsx. The third medium, after open-slide and open-doc. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Find out which workbook
  • Cell the user is currently looking at in the open-sheet viewer
  • So an instruction like make this bold
  • Why is this wrong? resolves to the right place without asking

Example prompts

  • “make this bold”
  • “why is this wrong?”
  • “this cell”
  • “/current-sheet”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the file. If it is missing or updatedAt is old, the dev server is
  2. id gives you sheets//index.tsx.
  3. cell is an A1 address for reading only. It tells you where the user is

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6ab72dd. 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 (its code samples are json).

    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

Current Sheet loads about 437 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 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
~95
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~437

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.

description
Use this skill to find out which workbook, sheet, and cell the user is currently looking at in the open-sheet viewer, so an instruction like "make this bold" or "why is this wrong?" resolves to the right place without asking. Use it whenever the user refers to "this cell", "this sheet", "the one I'm looking at", or gives an instruction with no explicit workbook id.

Resolve "this one"

The dev server publishes the reader's position to node_modules/.open-sheet/current.json as they navigate:

json
{ "id": "fy26-budget", "sheet": "P&L", "cell": "B7", "updatedAt": "2026-08-18T…" }

Read that file, or GET http://localhost:5373/__open-sheet/api/current.

Using it

  1. Read the file. If it is missing or updatedAt is old, the dev server is probably not running — ask which workbook rather than guessing.
  2. id gives you sheets/<id>/index.tsx.
  3. cell is an A1 address for reading only. It tells you where the user is pointing; it is not something to write into the source.

Turning a cell into a source location

The user points at a cell; you have to edit the block that produced it. Open the workbook and work out which block covers that address — usually obvious from the sheet's structure — then change the authoring construct:

The user saysYou change
"this number is wrong"the value in the data array, or the formula
"make this a percentage"format on that column
"this column should be a bar"bar: true on that column
"this total is wrong"the total aggregate, or the formula feeding it

Never respond by writing an address into the file. If you find yourself wanting to, re-read sheet-authoring.
