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

Spreadsheets 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 1mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 210 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Spreadsheets skill (Create • Edit • Analyze • Visualize)

Use this skill when you need to work with spreadsheets (.xlsx, .csv, .tsv) to do any of the following:

  • Create or modify a new workbook/sheet with proper formulas, cell/number formatting, and structured layout
  • Read or analyze tabular data (filter, aggregate, pivot, compute metrics) directly in a sheet
  • Visualize data with in-sheet charts/tables and sensible formatting
  • Recalculate/evaluate formulas to update results after changes

Decision Boundary

  • For Google Sheets-targeted outputs, such as creating or editing a Google Sheet, follow the additional instructions here: routing/google_sheets.md.

Do not follow those routing instructions if irrelevant to the task. Default is to create/edit spreadsheets with artifact tool.

Tools + Contract Requirements

  • Use @oai/artifact-tool JS library for all spreadsheet authoring, using only the executables and dependency paths provided by load_workspace_dependencies. Do not use system, global, or repo-local dependencies.
  • If the runtime or @oai/artifact-tool is unavailable, report a blocker. Do not guess or search for paths, install packages, use resolution hacks, or import bundled internals.
  • Work in a writable, conversation-specific or tmp directory. In that working directory, create a node_modules symlink or Windows junction pointing to the loader-provided node_modules directory. Never modify the loader-provided dependency directory.
  • Prefer one executable .mjs builder and patch/rerun it. Do not use heredocs or duplicate builders.
  • Use the provided API reference. Do not inspect package internals or prototypes. If blocked, run at most one targeted workbook.help("<api_or_feature>") query.
  • Do not use alternate workbook creation/editing libraries such as openpyxl, xlsxwriter, or pandas.ExcelWriter unless the user explicitly asks.
  • For supporting analysis or data processing outside workbook authoring, use JS or spreadsheet formulas when sufficient. If Python is necessary, prefer the bundled python libraries, save JSON/CSV intermediates, and have the JS builder create the workbook. Use existing system Python or user-provided libraries only when the bundled environment lacks a required capability. Keep auditable and user-editable calculations in the workbook as formulas.
  • Use update_plan for complex spreadsheet work.

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.
