What it does

Create Spreadsheet is an agent skill from theexperiencecompany/gaia. Generate an Excel (.xlsx) workbook or a CSV file: tables, financial models, data exports, formatted reports with charts. Use when the user wants a spreadsheet or CSV. Built with openpyxl + pandas (Python).

Its SKILL.md is about 800 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts (for example `reference.md`, `scripts/build.sh` and `templates/report.py`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Excel spreadsheets and CSV and tabular files. It works with Microsoft Excel, openpyxl, pandas and Python. The repository describes itself as: Your proactive personal AI assistant & companion for daily productivity 🌎.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants a spreadsheet
  • Tasks that involve Excel spreadsheets
  • Tasks that involve CSV and tabular files

Example prompts

  • “/create-spreadsheet”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

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

  1. Work in a job dir: mkdir -p ./scratch/xlsx-.
  2. Adapt the template: don't start blank. read /workspace/integrations/docgen/agent/skills/create-spreadsheet/templates/report.py, then write…
  3. Build + validate
  4. Fix loop: on ERROR, read the message, fix, re-run. Cap at 5 attempts.
  5. Deliver: mv ./scratch/xlsx-/out.xlsx ./artifacts/.xlsx, then report the full path.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 153e484. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell and Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash
    • python3

    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

Create Spreadsheet loads about 802 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 327 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~802

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); the scripts in this folder 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 327 words (~802 tokens).

“The deliverable is .xlsx or .csv. For Google Sheets use the googlesheets skill.”
