Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00014 | $0.01838 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00919 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00368 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00184 |
Grade A, and why
excel-spreadsheets scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Excel Spreadsheets
When to Use
| Tool | Use When |
|---|---|
create_excel_spreadsheet |
User asks to create/generate a NEW spreadsheet |
modify_excel_spreadsheet |
User asks to edit/update an EXISTING spreadsheet |
list_my_excel_spreadsheets |
User asks what spreadsheets are available |
read_excel_spreadsheet |
User wants to download or read spreadsheet contents |
preview_excel_sheets |
Check actual sheet appearance when editing |
Workflow
- Before modifying: call
preview_excel_sheetsto check current layout. - After creation/modification: call
preview_excel_sheetsto verify. - Run tools sequentially (never parallel) to prevent file race conditions.
Professional Formatting
- Font: Arial for all cells unless an existing template specifies otherwise.
- Negative numbers: parentheses format
(1,234)— not minus-1,234. - Currency:
$#,##0format. Specify units in headers (e.g., "Revenue ($mm)"). - Percentages:
0.0%(one decimal place). - Years: format as text (
"2024"not"2,024"). - Zeros: display as
"-"using a custom number format.
# Example: professional number formatting
from openpyxl.styles import numbers
ws['B2'].number_format = '$#,##0' # Currency
ws['C2'].number_format = '0.0%' # Percentage
ws['D2'].number_format = '#,##0;(#,##0)' # Negative in parentheses
ws['E2'].number_format = '@' # Year as text
ws['F2'].number_format = '#,##0;(#,##0);"-"' # Zeros as dash
Financial Model Color Coding
When building financial models, apply these conventions:
| Color | Hex | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Blue text | 0000FF |
Hardcoded inputs and assumptions |
| Black text | 000000 |
All formulas and calculations |
| Green text | 008000 |
Links pulling from other worksheets |
| Yellow background | FFFF00 |
Key assumptions needing attention |
from openpyxl.styles import Font, PatternFill
ws['B2'].font = Font(name='Arial', color='0000FF') # Blue: input
ws['B3'].font = Font(name='Arial', color='000000') # Black: formula
ws['B4'].font = Font(name='Arial', color='008000') # Green: cross-sheet link
ws['B5'].fill = PatternFill('solid', fgColor='FFFF00') # Yellow bg: key assumption
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

excel-spreadsheets is a skill published in the GitHub repository aws-samples/sample-strands-agent-with-agentcore (192 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 1,838 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
