Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: openoffice.org.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

About this skill

What it does

The dalehurley-xlsx skill allows AI agents to process and manipulate data within Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) files. It can extract information from spreadsheets, perform calculations based on spreadsheet data, and potentially format or modify existing .xlsx files (though specific modification capabilities are not detailed). This skill is particularly useful for tasks involving structured tabular data.

When to use it

  • Data Extraction: You need to pull specific data points from a complex Excel file into another application or document.
  • Report Generation: Generate reports based on calculations performed within an existing spreadsheet.
  • Automated Analysis: Automate the analysis of financial data, sales figures, or other tabular information stored in .xlsx format.
  • Data Transformation: Convert data from a .xlsx file into a different format for further processing.

Key capabilities

  • Reads and parses .xlsx files.
  • Extracts data from cells within spreadsheets.
  • Performs calculations using spreadsheet data.

Example prompts

  • "Extract the sales figures for Q3 2023 from 'sales_data.xlsx'."
  • "Calculate the total revenue based on the data in 'budget.xlsx' and report it."
  • “What is the average value of column B in ‘inventory.xlsx’?”

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill requires access to the .xlsx file being processed. Ensure the AI agent has appropriate permissions and location information for the file.
  • Specific formatting or complex spreadsheet features might not be fully supported, depending on the underlying implementation.
