What it does

Quantity Takeoff Excel is an agent skill from shuotao/REVIT_MCP_study. Create or review auditable Revit quantity-takeoff Excel reports for partition walls, baseboards, interior wall finishes, room schedules, and scaffolding. Use when the user asks for 數量計算、算量、輕隔間 Excel、踢腳 Excel、內牆粉刷 Excel、空間表更新 Excel、施工架數量、room perimeter、opening deductions、net height, or wants an existing pyRevit takeoff method reused through RevitMCP.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Excel spreadsheets. It works with Microsoft Excel. The repository describes itself as: LEARN HOW TO BUILD UP YOUR REVIT MCP.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks for 數量計算、算量、輕隔間 Excel、踢腳 Excel、內牆粉刷 Excel、空間表更新 Excel、施工架數量、room perimeter、opening deductions、net height
  • Wants an existing pyRevit takeoff method reused through RevitMCP

Example prompts

  • “/quantity-takeoff-excel”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Confirm that RevitMCP tools are available and Revit is connected.
  2. Re-query the current document, rooms, levels, relevant walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and windows in this turn.
  3. Preserve ElementIds and source fields in an intermediate record before creating Excel rows.
  4. If the current client cannot call Revit tools, state that limitation. Do not claim to have calculated the open project.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2faacc5. 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

Quantity Takeoff Excel loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 756 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 756 words (~1,527 tokens).

“Use current-turn Revit data and produce an auditable calculation, not an unexplained total.”
