What it does
Spreadsheet Agent is an agent skill from mastra-ai/mastra. Authoring playbook for building agents that read or write tabular data — Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel, CSV, Airtable, Notion databases, or any spreadsheet. Use this when the user wants an agent that updates rows, reads cells, computes totals, generates reports from sheets, syncs data between spreadsheets, or automates anything involving rows, columns, ranges, or worksheets.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k 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, Google Sheets, Airtable and Notion. The repository describes itself as: Mastra is the modern TypeScript framework for AI-powered applications and agents.
When your agent uses it
- Wants an agent that updates rows
- Computes totals
- Generates reports from sheets
- Syncs data between spreadsheets
Example prompts
- “/spreadsheet-agent”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- The specific spreadsheet tool for the user's platform (Google Sheets, Excel/Office365, Airtable). Attach EXACTLY ONE unless the user's…
- A date/time tool if the agent needs to reason about cadence ("this week", "last month").
- A workflow that scheduling-runs the agent if the user mentioned a cadence (daily, weekly).
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4d0056f. 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 Agent loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 607 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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 607 words (~2,129 tokens).
“Pick this playbook when the user mentions: Google Sheets, Google Spreadsheet, Excel, XLSX, CSV, Airtable, Notion database, table, rows, columns, cells, ranges, sheet, tab, worksheet, pivot, lookup, VLOOKUP, formula, or a tabular workflow ("update my leads list", "fill in the…”
