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

office-excel 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 12d 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.

Office Excel

When to Use

Use when the main artifact is an Excel workbook, .xlsx, .xlsm, .xls, .csv, .tsv, or spreadsheet-like deliverable.

Use especially when formulas, dates, number formats, merged cells, workbook structure, validation rules, print settings, or cross-platform behavior matter.

Do not use for general data analysis unless the output must be a spreadsheet artifact.

Workflow

  1. Classify the job: inspect, clean data, create workbook, edit template, add formulas, preserve formatting, export CSV, or prepare delivery.
  2. Choose the tool by job:
    • Use pandas for tabular analysis, reshaping, joins, aggregation, and CSV-like tasks.
    • Use openpyxl or workbook-native tooling when formulas, styles, sheets, comments, merged cells, validations, or template preservation matter.
  3. Back up existing workbooks before editing. Avoid flattening formulas by accidentally saving value-only reads.
  4. Preserve workbook structure: sheet order, widths, hidden rows/columns, merged areas, freezes, filters, named ranges, validations, conditional formatting, print settings, comments, and visual conventions.
  5. Protect data types before Excel changes them. Store long identifiers, phone numbers, ZIP codes, and leading-zero values as text when appropriate.
  6. Keep live calculations in formulas when the recipient should be able to audit or update the workbook.
  7. Before delivery, check representative formulas, copied ranges, denominators, named ranges, #REF!, #DIV/0!, #VALUE!, #NAME?, stale cached values, clipped labels, wrapped text, and print layout.

Return Format

For a new workbook, return the .xlsx path and summarize sheets, formulas, assumptions, and formatting.

For edits, return the modified workbook path, backup path if created, and a change summary. Mention whether formulas, styles, validations, and print settings were preserved.

For inspections, return key sheets, detected risks, formula/status issues, and recommended fixes.

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.
