excel-validate

excel-validate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from YuYY2004/excel-skills. It costs 129 tokens per session (2,141 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only checker for Excel files that produces a data-quality report without changing the original file. It looks for missing values, unusual numbers, inconsistent formats or types, duplicate rows, and formula columns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking empty cells, duplicate records, mixed text and numbers, extreme numeric values, repeated values, and formula-based columns.
Why use it?
It helps find common spreadsheet problems before the data is used or shared, while keeping the source file unchanged.

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

excel-validate 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 9d 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.
