What does this skill do?

XLSX gives agents a workflow for spreadsheet-heavy tasks. It is useful when a user needs to create a workbook, inspect existing sheets, update structured data, or preserve spreadsheet formatting while making changes.

The skill helps agents work with .xlsx files directly instead of reducing every spreadsheet task to plain CSV text.

  • Analyzes workbook content and structured data

  • Preserves formatting where possible

  • Supports spreadsheet workflows for reporting, operations, finance, and data teams
