Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 5.1 | $0.00072 | $0.04117 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.02058 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00823 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00412 |
Grade A, and why
ods 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 8d 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 — 413 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
ODS creation, editing, and analysis
Overview
An .ods file is an OpenDocument ZIP package for spreadsheets. Important package files:
mimetype- should be the first ZIP entry and stored uncompressed asapplication/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheetcontent.xml- sheets, rows, cells, formulas, charts, and most contentstyles.xml- cell, table, page, and number stylesmeta.xml- document metadatasettings.xml- application settingsMETA-INF/manifest.xml- package manifest
Quick Reference
| Task | Preferred approach |
|---|---|
| Read sheets/data | Use scripts/extract_sheets.py or parse content.xml |
| Create simple workbook | Generate ODS package XML directly |
| Create styled/model workbook | Start from an .ods template and edit cells XML-safely |
| Extract/check formulas | Use scripts/extract_formulas.py |
| Convert CSV/XLSX to ODS | Use LibreOffice only when the source already exists or interoperability requires it |
| Validate formulas/recalc | Recalculate with LibreOffice, then inspect formulas, CSV/PDF, and error values |
Tool Checks
Before starting a real ODS task, check available tools:
python3 -c "import pandas, odf; print('pandas and odfpy available')"
Resolve the LibreOffice command as described in docs/soffice-resolver.md.
Use the bundled workspace Python when normal python3 lacks pandas or other spreadsheet libraries.
Reading Data
When pandas and odfpy are available:
import pandas as pd
sheets = pd.read_excel("input.ods", sheet_name=None, engine="odf")
for name, df in sheets.items():
print(name, df.shape)
When the ODF engine is unavailable, prefer LibreOffice conversion:
# Resolve SOFFICE as shown in Tool Checks.
"$SOFFICE" --headless --convert-to xlsx input.ods --outdir converted
Then inspect the resulting XLSX with normal spreadsheet tooling.
For raw package inspection:
python -m zipfile -e input.ods unpacked_ods

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.

ods is a skill published in the GitHub repository leiverkus/open-document-skills (3 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 4,117 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
