xlsx

xlsx is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Hipson47/Hipson. It costs 201 tokens per session (2,835 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of xlsx, Apache-2.0.

A spreadsheet-handling workflow for Excel files and related table files such as CSV and TSV. It covers reading, editing, cleaning, calculating, formatting, and creating spreadsheet outputs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to update spreadsheet data, add formulas or columns, clean messy tables, apply formatting, create charts, or build a new spreadsheet.
Why use it?
It helps avoid broken formulas and inconsistent formatting in spreadsheet deliverables. When an existing template is involved, it preserves that template's established style.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

xlsx 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 13 executable files (scripts/office/helpers/__init__.py, scripts/office/helpers/merge_runs.py, scripts/office/helpers/simplify_redlines.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

92% identical to xlsx — 18 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Requirements for Outputs

All Excel files

Professional Font

  • Use a consistent, professional font (e.g., Arial, Times New Roman) for all deliverables unless otherwise instructed by the user

Zero Formula Errors

  • Every Excel model MUST be delivered with ZERO formula errors (#REF!, #DIV/0!, #VALUE!, #N/A, #NAME?)

Preserve Existing Templates (when updating templates)

  • Study and EXACTLY match existing format, style, and conventions when modifying files
  • Never impose standardized formatting on files with established patterns
  • Existing template conventions ALWAYS override these guidelines

Financial models

Color Coding Standards

Unless otherwise stated by the user or existing template

Industry-Standard Color Conventions
  • Blue text (RGB: 0,0,255): Hardcoded inputs, and numbers users will change for scenarios
  • Black text (RGB: 0,0,0): ALL formulas and calculations
  • Green text (RGB: 0,128,0): Links pulling from other worksheets within same workbook
  • Red text (RGB: 255,0,0): External links to other files
  • Yellow background (RGB: 255,255,0): Key assumptions needing attention or cells that need to be updated

Number Formatting Standards

Required Format Rules
  • Years: Format as text strings (e.g., "2024" not "2,024")
  • Currency: Use $#,##0 format; ALWAYS specify units in headers ("Revenue ($mm)")
  • Zeros: Use number formatting to make all zeros "-", including percentages (e.g., "$#,##0;($#,##0);-")
  • Percentages: Default to 0.0% format (one decimal)
  • Multiples: Format as 0.0x for valuation multiples (EV/EBITDA, P/E)
  • Negative numbers: Use parentheses (123) not minus -123

Formula Construction Rules

Assumptions Placement
  • Place ALL assumptions (growth rates, margins, multiples, etc.) in separate assumption cells
  • Use cell references instead of hardcoded values in formulas
  • Example: Use =B5*(1+$B$6) instead of =B5*1.05
Formula Error Prevention
  • Verify all cell references are correct
  • Check for off-by-one errors in ranges
  • Ensure consistent formulas across all projection periods
  • Test with edge cases (zero values, negative numbers)
  • Verify no unintended circular references

What ships with it

53 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
