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 20d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 12 executable files (scripts/office/helpers/__init__.py, scripts/office/helpers/pptx_chart.py, scripts/office/helpers/pptx_slide.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

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

XLSX creation, editing, and analysis

Task Approach
Create or edit with formulas/formatting openpyxl — see gotchas below
Bulk data in or out pandas (read_excel, to_excel)
Quick look at a sheet markitdown file.xlsx — ## SheetName per sheet; reads .xlsm too. No cell coordinates, so don't plan edits from it
Read a model (formulas and values) two load_workbook passes — see gotchas

openpyxl, pandas, and markitdown are preinstalled — do not run pip install first; write the script and import directly. Only if an import fails (or the markitdown command is missing): pip install the missing package.

Script paths below are relative to this skill's directory.

Requirements for every output

  • Professional font (Arial, Times New Roman) throughout, unless the user says otherwise.
  • Zero formula errors. Never ship while recalc.py reports errors_found. If you think an error predates you, prove it: load the original with data_only=True and look at that cell. An error you introduced looks exactly like one you inherited.
  • Use formulas, never hardcoded results. Write sheet['B10'] = '=SUM(B2:B9)', not the Python-computed total. The sheet must recalculate when its inputs change.
  • Follow the user's spec literally. Exact tab names, exact column headers, and the formula they spelled out. A redesign that computes something else fails, however elegant.
  • Document every assumption and hardcoded number where the reader will see it — a cell comment, or an adjacent cell at a table's end. Cite a real source when one exists (Source: Company 10-K, FY2024, Page 45, Revenue Note, [SEC EDGAR URL]); when the number came from the user, say so plainly.
  • A workbook you create for someone to fill in needs a short legend naming which cells to edit, and one example row of realistic values showing the expected format. Never add such a row to a file you were asked to edit.
  • Editing an existing file: match its conventions exactly. They override every guideline here. Find its designated input cells first — a distinct font color, fill, or shading marks them — write only there, and leave every existing formula untouched.

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.
