XLSX Skill (Anthropic Official Source)
Source: https://github.com/anthropics/skills/tree/main/skills/xlsx
Use this skill for spreadsheet-centric workflows.
When running inside sciClaw, prefer the built-in typed spreadsheet tools over ad-hoc shell calls:
xlsx_review_read
xlsx_review_diff
xlsx_review_apply
Use raw xlsx-review CLI only for advanced modes not covered by those typed tools, such as --create, --textconv, or --git-setup.
Typical Triggers
- "update this Excel file"
- "create a spreadsheet model"
- "clean this CSV/TSV and output xlsx"
- "add formulas/charts/formatting to workbook"
Working Rules
- Use formulas in the sheet instead of hardcoded computed values.
- Preserve existing workbook conventions when editing templates.
- Validate output for formula errors (
#REF!, #DIV/0!, #VALUE!, etc.).
- Keep transformation provenance for publication-quality reproducibility.
Quick Commands
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_excel("input.xlsx")
df.to_excel("output.xlsx", index=False)
