What it does

Z Md Excel is an agent skill from tjxj/z-skills. Extract all Markdown tables from a .md file and export to Excel (.xlsx). Use this skill when the user wants to: convert Markdown tables to Excel, extract tables from .md files, export MD table data to spreadsheet, batch convert multiple tables from one Markdown file. Supports multiple tables, GFM alignment markers, inline Markdown stripping. Each table becomes a separate sheet in the output Excel file.

Its SKILL.md is about 730 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `README.md` and `scripts/md2xlsx.py`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Excel spreadsheets. It works with Microsoft Excel and openpyxl. The repository describes itself as: A collection of reusable skills.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to: convert Markdown tables to Excel
  • Extract tables from .md files
  • Export MD table data to spreadsheet
  • Batch convert multiple tables from one Markdown file

Example prompts

  • “/z-md-excel”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the Markdown file the user wants to extract tables from.
  2. Ensure openpyxl is installed: pip install openpyxl
  3. Run the script
  4. Report results: The script prints the number of tables found and their dimensions.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a29467e. 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/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • pip

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Z Md Excel loads about 728 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 254 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~104
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~728

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
