XLSX Skill is an agent skill from OpenLoaf/OpenLoaf. Unified read / write / stats / recalc / chart capability for Excel / CSV (.xlsx / .xlsm / .csv / .tsv). Trigger scenarios: reading cells, summarizing, grouping, highest/lowest values, total revenue, editing cell values or formulas, inserting rows/columns, adding total rows, inserting charts (bar/line/pie), freezing panes, auto-filter, conditional formatting, CSV ↔ XLSX conversion, building rosters / sales sheets / financial models, diagnosing REF! / DIV/0! formula errors, triggering recalculation. Typical…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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 and CSV and tabular files. It works with Microsoft Excel. The repository describes itself as: 🍞Open-source, local-first AI workspace with Agents, multi-model chat (GPT/Claude/Gemini/DeepSeek), Notion-like docs, AI image & video generation, email, calendar & terminal…. The licence is AGPL-3.0.
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f7eccf6. 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 javascript).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From 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.
XLSX Skill loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 213 tokens; SKILL.md has 326 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.

.claude/skills/xlsx-skill/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Read with ExcelInspect; all write / modify / create operations use JsSandbox (preferred library: exceljs, which has broader support for styles / charts / images compared to xlsx/SheetJS); format conversion (including csv ↔ xlsx) can also use DocConvert.
| Tool | Responsibility | Read-only |
|---|---|---|
ExcelInspect | Read: summary / values / formulas / style / range / chart-list / defined-names | Yes |
JsSandbox | All writes: create / update / insert / formula / chart / image / structure / recalc… implemented with exceljs | No |
DocConvert | csv ↔ xlsx ↔ html / md | No |
Loading (two steps):
LoadSkill xlsx-skillToolSearch(query: "select:ExcelInspect,JsSandbox,DocConvert")
Readon a .xlsx returns only a lightweight summary; all analysis / stats / edit / creation must go throughExcelInspect+JsSandbox.
ExcelInspect(summary)ExcelInspect { action: "summary", filePath: "…" }Returns sheets[{name, rows, cols, hasFormula, hasChart}]. Then as needed:
ExcelInspect(action="values", sheetName, range)action="formulas"action="style", rangeaction="errors" — lists #REF! / #DIV/0! / #NAME? etc.For large sheets, pass range (e.g. "A1:D100") to avoid full-sheet preview truncation.
JsSandbox + exceljsexceljs supports styles / merges / formulas / charts / images / data validation. Handles tens of thousands of rows without issue.

Unified read / write / stats / recalc / chart capability for Excel / CSV (.xlsx / .xlsm / .csv / .tsv). XLSX Skill is an agent skill from OpenLoaf/OpenLoaf.tsv).
XLSX Skill fits situations like: scenarios: reading cells; highest/lowest values; editing cell values; inserting rows/columns.
Run `npx skills add OpenLoaf/OpenLoaf --skill xlsx-skill -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (apps/server/src/ai/builtin-skills/xlsx/en in OpenLoaf/OpenLoaf) into .claude/skills/xlsx-skill in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add OpenLoaf/OpenLoaf --skill xlsx-skill -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (apps/server/src/ai/builtin-skills/xlsx/en in OpenLoaf/OpenLoaf) into .agents/skills/xlsx-skill in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add OpenLoaf/OpenLoaf --skill xlsx-skill -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/xlsx-skill, .gemini/skills/xlsx-skill, .github/skills/xlsx-skill and .opencode/skills/xlsx-skill in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: XLSX Skill is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
XLSX Skill is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.9k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
