What it does
Excel is an agent skill from refly-ai/refly-skills. Integrate with Microsoft Excel for spreadsheets. Use when you need to: (1) read and write Excel data, (2) manage spreadsheet workbooks, or (3) automate data analysis workflows.
Its SKILL.md is about 550 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `README.md`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Excel spreadsheets. It works with Microsoft Excel. The repository describes itself as: Refly skills repository.
When your agent uses it
- Read and write Excel data
- Manage spreadsheet workbooks
- Automate data analysis workflows
Example prompts
- “/excel”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Run the Skill and Get Run ID
- Open Workflow in Browser and Wait for Completion
- Download and Show Result
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5a546d2. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
jq
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
refly.ai
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
Excel loads about 545 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 85 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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 85 words (~545 tokens).
“Integrate with Microsoft Excel for spreadsheets. Use when you need to: (1) read and write Excel data, (2) manage spreadsheet workbooks, or (3) automate data analysis workflows.”
