A direct Python check for confirming the actual contents and files of an Excel workbook.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps verify spreadsheet edits and inspect whether expected workbook files exist on disk.
Why use it?
It replaces uncertain summaries with reproducible facts about sheets, headers, row counts, marked rows, and output files.

About the project

OpenSpace is a skill-management layer for AI agents that stores, retrieves, evaluates, shares, and improves reusable workflows. It is intended for people using multiple coding agents who want skills to be reused and refined based on task outcomes. The catalogue provides 200 skills for use with OpenSpace and the agents it supports.

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

spreadsheet-direct-verification 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 375 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Spreadsheet Direct Verification

Use this workflow when a higher-level or delegated agent has interacted with spreadsheet files, but its summaries or claims are inconsistent, incomplete, or hard to trust.

The goal is to replace uncertain narrative summaries with a direct, reproducible inspection from disk before you finalize your answer.

When to use this

Apply this skill when any of the following happen:

  • A delegated agent reports conflicting workbook facts across messages
  • Sheet names, row counts, headers, or output paths are inconsistent
  • The agent says a file was created or modified, but did not verify it from disk
  • The task depends on exact workbook contents, especially after edits
  • You need a trustworthy final summary of what actually exists on disk

Core principle

When spreadsheet state matters, trust a deterministic script over a conversational summary.

Inspect the workbook directly with Python and openpyxl, and print a compact report covering:

  • workbook path
  • whether the file exists
  • sheet names
  • per-sheet headers
  • per-sheet row counts
  • totals for "marked" rows, if relevant to the task
  • whether expected output files exist

Use the script output as the basis for your final response.

Workflow

  1. Identify the workbook(s) and expected output file(s).
  2. Determine what "marked row" means for the task.
    • Examples:
      • rows with a non-empty marker column
      • rows with x, yes, true, or 1
      • rows highlighted by a prior workflow that also wrote a marker column
  3. Run a direct Python inspection on the files from disk.
  4. Compare the script output against any delegated summary.
  5. If they differ, treat the script as authoritative.
  6. Only then provide the final user-facing summary.

Minimum verification checklist

Before finalizing, verify and record:

  • exact input workbook path inspected
    • exact output workbook path inspected
    • whether each file exists
    • all sheet names in each workbook
    • header row for each relevant sheet
    • number of non-empty data rows per sheet
    • number of marked rows per sheet, if applicable
    • whether modifications appear in the saved output file

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.
