What it does

XLSX is an agent skill from zai-org/ZCode. Use this skill any time a spreadsheet file is the primary input or output. This means any task where the user wants to: open, read, edit, or fix an existing .xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, or .tsv file; create a new spreadsheet from scratch or from other data sources; analyze data and output results as an Excel file with charts; convert between tabular file formats (CSV/TSV/JSON/PDF-table → XLSX, or XLSX → CSV/JSON); clean, merge, pivot, or transform tabular data. Trigger especially when the user references a spreadsheet…

Its SKILL.md is about 4.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 30 other files (for example `engines/chart-templates.md`, `engines/chart.md` and `engines/design.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Excel spreadsheets and CSV and tabular files. It works with Microsoft Excel. The repository describes itself as: Z.ai's coding agent harness. Powerful, intelligent, extensible.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aac4755. 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 script files (Shell and PowerShell, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python3
- brew
- apt
- winget
- soffice
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:
- mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn
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

XLSX loads about 4.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 186 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,654 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~186
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~4.4k

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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:264

ask libreoffice`; Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) `sudo apt install libreoffice-core`;

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

Its licence (Proprietary) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,654 words (~4,393 tokens).

Can I use XLSX in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add zai-org/ZCode --skill xlsx -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, .gemini/skills/xlsx, .github/skills/xlsx and .opencode/skills/xlsx in your project.

What does XLSX need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, XLSX needs a shell and PowerShell for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python3, brew, apt, winget and soffice). Our summary lists: Python 3; A Bash shell; PowerShell.

Does XLSX access the network?

SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
