SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Many workflows require extracting, sampling, converting, or editing data stored in local Excel workbooks, which is time-consuming and risks accidental data leaks or processing huge files into the AI context. This skill provides a safe, guided way to inspect spreadsheets, estimate token impact, sample large files, convert sheets to CSV/TSV, and create or edit XLSX outputs while enforcing PII and security checks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Overview & Analysis: Get file metadata, sheet list, row counts, and estimated token usage to plan efficient processing.
  • Extraction & Conversion: Extract full or sampled sheet data as JSON, export sheets to CSV/TSV, and convert CSV into new XLSX files.
  • Create & Edit Workflows: Create new workbooks from headers/rows or CSV, edit cells and formulas, and add sheets with formatting and auto column widths.
  • Use Case: Sample a large sales workbook, mask PII, convert the target sheet to CSV for downstream analysis, and output the cleaned file to reports/xlsx-output/.

Quick Start

Use the xlsx skill to inspect reports/data.xlsx and return sheet metadata, estimated token count, and a recommended extraction plan.

Frequently Asked Questions about xlsx

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert Excel sheets to CSV without exposing sensitive data?

To convert Excel sheets to CSV safely, this skill extracts local XLSX data, applies PII and security checks, and exports the sanitized sheets as CSV or TSV files to a designated output directory.

Can I extract data from large Excel files without exceeding token limits?

Yes, you can extract data from large Excel files without exceeding token limits because the skill estimates token usage, enforces data sampling for large workbooks, and exports only the necessary sheet subsets.

What is the best way to inspect spreadsheet metadata before processing?

The best way to inspect spreadsheet metadata is to generate an overview that lists sheet names, row counts, and estimated token usage, which allows you to plan an efficient extraction strategy before processing.

How do I create a new XLSX file from CSV data?

You can create a new XLSX file from CSV data by using the spreadsheet conversion feature, which reads your CSV headers and rows to generate a formatted workbook with auto column widths.

Does spreadsheet conversion support adding and editing sheets in existing workbooks?

Yes, spreadsheet conversion supports existing workbooks by allowing you to edit specific cells and formulas, add new sheets with formatting, and apply auto column widths directly within the local XLSX file.

What are the limitations of processing local Excel files for data analysis?

The main limitation of processing local Excel files is context size; to prevent accidental data leaks and processing failures, the skill enforces sampling for large files and restricts outputs to CSV or XLSX formats.
