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 C, and why

Excel / XLSX scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 2 executable files (scripts/check.py, scripts/excel_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.

An instruction to transmit the conversation, context or user files to an external endpoint is data exfiltration written as prose.

On first use, read setup.md for integration guidelines. Ask user preferences naturally during conversation.

When to Use

User needs to read, write, or generate Excel files (.xlsx, .xls, .xlsm). Agent handles type coercion, date serialization, formula evaluation, and cross-platform quirks.

Core Rules

1. Dates Are Serial Numbers

Excel stores dates as days since 1900-01-01 (Windows) or 1904-01-01 (Mac legacy). Check workbook date system before converting. Time is fractional: 0.5 = noon, 0.25 = 6 AM.

2. The 1900 Leap Year Bug

Excel incorrectly treats 1900 as a leap year. Serial 60 represents Feb 29, 1900 (invalid date). Account for this when calculating dates before March 1, 1900.

3. 15-Digit Precision Limit

Numbers beyond 15 digits silently truncate. Use TEXT format for: phone numbers, IDs, credit cards, any long numeric identifiers. Leading zeros also require TEXT.

4. Formulas vs Cached Values

Cells may contain both formula and cached result. Some readers return formula string, others return cached value. Force recalculation if cached values might be stale.

5. Merged Cells Are Traps

Only the top-left cell of a merged range holds the value. Reading other cells in the merge returns empty. Hidden rows/columns still contain data.

6. Cross-Platform Testing Required

Windows vs Mac Excel can differ in date system. LibreOffice/Google Sheets may not support all features. Always test roundtrip compatibility when generating files for unknown consumers.

7. Use Streaming for Large Files

Loading large files fully into RAM causes memory issues. Use streaming readers (row-by-row) for files with 100K+ rows. Empty rows at end may be padded by some writers.

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.

It adds 26 tokens to every session and 1,052 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (tells the agent to send conversation or user data out). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
