xlsx

xlsx is a skill for Codex from Rylaispirit/rylai-codex-hermes-skills. It costs 37 tokens per session (653 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A toolkit for creating, inspecting, editing, and checking Excel workbooks in XLSX format, including workbooks made from CSV or TSV tables. It uses Python's openpyxl library and can optionally use LibreOffice to recalculate formulas or render PDFs.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for importing tabular data, creating formatted workbooks, editing sheets and formulas, checking errors, recalculating results, and producing PDF previews.
Why use it?
It helps change spreadsheets while preserving existing sheet names, formulas, and styles, then check the saved file for formula or error problems.

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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/xlsx_tool.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.

Rylai XLSX

This is an original Rylai Codex-Hermes-Claude workflow. Use the open-source openpyxl package for workbook operations and LibreOffice only for optional formula recalculation or PDF rendering.

Runtime

  • Required for the bundled script: Python 3 and openpyxl.
  • Optional: LibreOffice (soffice) for recalculation and PDF rendering.
  • Resolve scripts/xlsx_tool.py relative to this skill folder.
  • Do not install packages unless the user approves installation.
  • Set workbook creator and last editor to Rylai unless the user explicitly requests another author.

Workflow

  1. Inspect the workbook or source table before changing it.
  2. Preserve existing sheet names, formulas, and styles unless the task requires a change.
  3. Save to a new output path instead of overwriting the source.
  4. Reopen the saved workbook and inspect formula and error counts.
  5. When formula results must be refreshed, use LibreOffice recalculation if it is available.

Bundled CLI

Create a styled workbook from CSV or TSV:

python scripts/xlsx_tool.py create input.csv output.xlsx --sheet Data
python scripts/xlsx_tool.py create input.tsv output.xlsx --delimiter tab

Inspect workbook structure, formulas, and visible spreadsheet errors:

python scripts/xlsx_tool.py inspect output.xlsx

Update cells or formulas while keeping the source unchanged:

python scripts/xlsx_tool.py set input.xlsx output.xlsx \
  --cell "Summary!B2=1250" \
  --cell "Summary!B3==SUM(Data!B2:B20)"

The first = separates the cell address from its value. A formula therefore uses a second =.

Recalculate formulas through a LibreOffice save round trip:

python scripts/xlsx_tool.py recalc input.xlsx recalculated.xlsx

Render workbook sheets to PDF:

python scripts/xlsx_tool.py render input.xlsx rendered

Quality Rules

  • Use formulas for values that should update when inputs change.
  • Keep identifiers with leading zeroes as text.
  • Freeze the header and enable filters for newly created data tables.
  • Use clear number formats for dates, percentages, currency, and totals.
  • Treat #REF!, #DIV/0!, #VALUE!, #NAME?, #N/A, and #NUM! as delivery blockers unless the user explicitly expects them.
  • Report that recalculation or visual verification was skipped when LibreOffice is unavailable.

What ships with it

2 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.
