id: xlsx name: Excel Spreadsheet Handler triggers: Excel, spreadsheet, .xlsx, data table, budget, financial model, chart, graph, tabular data, xls, csv to excel, data analysis
Description: Create, read, and manipulate Excel workbooks with multiple sheets, charts, formulas, and advanced formatting.
Capabilities:
Implementation Guidelines:
// Use exceljs for Node.js
const ExcelJS = require('exceljs');
const workbook = new ExcelJS.Workbook();
const sheet = workbook.addWorksheet('Sheet1');
// Set column headers with styling
sheet.columns = [
{ header: 'Name', key: 'name', width: 20 },
{ header: 'Value', key: 'value', width: 15 },
];
// Add data rows
sheet.addRow({ name: 'Item 1', value: 100 });
// Apply formatting
sheet.getRow(1).font = { bold: true };
sheet.getRow(1).fill = {
type: 'pattern',
pattern: 'solid',
fgColor: { argb: 'FF4472C4' },
};
// Save workbook
await workbook.xlsx.writeFile('output.xlsx');
For recalculating formulas in existing spreadsheets, use the recalc script:
# Recalculate all formulas in an Excel file using LibreOffice
# This is useful after modifying cell values programmatically
python skills/xlsx/recalc.py <input.xlsx> <output.xlsx>
Python Quick Reference:
import pandas as pd
# Read Excel
df = pd.read_excel('file.xlsx') # Default: first sheet
all_sheets = pd.read_excel('file.xlsx', sheet_name=None) # All sheets as dict
# Analyze
df.head() # Preview data
df.info() # Column info
df.describe() # Statistics
# Write Excel
df.to_excel('output.xlsx', index=False)

Validate bounding boxes:
python skills/pdf/scripts/check_bounding_boxes.py <fields.json>
Fill the form with annotations:
python skills/pdf/scripts/fill_pdf_form_with_annotations.py <input.pdf> <fields.json> <output.pdf>
# Merge multiple PDFs
python skills/pdf/scripts/merge_pdfs.py <output.pdf> <input1.pdf> <input2.pdf> ...
# Split into individual pages
python skills/pdf/scripts/split_pdf.py <input.pdf> <output_directory>
# Extract specific pages
python skills/pdf/scripts/split_pdf.py <input.pdf> <output.pdf> 1-5
python skills/pdf/scripts/split_pdf.py <input.pdf> <output.pdf> 1,3,5,7
from pypdf import PdfReader, PdfWriter
# Read a PDF
reader = PdfReader("document.pdf")
print(f"Pages: {len(reader.pages)}")
# Extract text
text = ""
for page in reader.pages:
text += page.extract_text()
# For table extraction, use pdfplumber
import pdfplumber
with pdfplumber.open("document.pdf") as pdf:
for page in pdf.pages:
tables = page.extract_tables()
for table in tables:
print(table)
Best Practices:

// Use docx package for Node.js
const {
Document,
Packer,
Paragraph,
TextRun,
HeadingLevel,
Table,
TableRow,
TableCell,
Header,
Footer,
PageNumber,
} = require('docx');
const doc = new Document({
sections: [
{
properties: {},
headers: {
default: new Header({
children: [new Paragraph({ text: 'Document Header' })],
}),
},
footers: {
default: new Footer({
children: [
new Paragraph({
children: [new TextRun('Page '), new PageNumber()],
}),
],
}),
},
children: [
// Title
new Paragraph({
text: 'Document Title',
heading: HeadingLevel.TITLE,
}),
// Heading
new Paragraph({

heading: HeadingLevel.HEADING_1,
}),
// Body text
new Paragraph({
children: [
new TextRun({ text: 'This is ', bold: false }),
new TextRun({ text: 'bold', bold: true }),
new TextRun({ text: ' and ' }),
new TextRun({ text: 'italic', italics: true }),
new TextRun({ text: ' text.' }),
],
}),

new Paragraph({
text: 'First bullet point',
bullet: { level: 0 },
}),
// Table
new Table({
rows: [
new TableRow({
children: [
new TableCell({ children: [new Paragraph('Header 1')] }),
new TableCell({ children: [new Paragraph('Header 2')] }),
],
}),
new TableRow({
children: [
new TableCell({ children: [new Paragraph('Cell 1')] }),
new TableCell({ children: [new Paragraph('Cell 2')] }),
],
}),
],
}),
],
},
],
});
// Save document
const buffer = await Packer.toBuffer(doc);
await fs.writeFile('document.docx', buffer);
For editing existing documents or working with tracked changes, use the DOCX scripts:
# Convert document to markdown (preserves tracked changes)
pandoc --track-changes=all <input.docx> -o output.md
# Unpack a document to access raw XML
python skills/docx/ooxml/scripts/unpack.py <input.docx> <output_directory>
# Pack modified XML back to DOCX
python skills/docx/ooxml/scripts/pack.py <input_directory> <output.docx>
# Validate DOCX structure
python skills/docx/ooxml/scripts/validate.py <file.docx>
Python Document Library for Tracked Changes:
# Import the Document library for tracked changes and comments
from skills.docx.scripts.document import Document
# Initialize (automatically sets up comment infrastructure)
doc = Document('unpacked_directory')
doc = Document('unpacked_directory', author="John Doe", initials="JD")
# Find nodes
node = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:p", contains="specific text")
node = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:del", attrs={"w:id": "1"})
# Add comments
doc.add_comment(start=node, end=node, text="Comment text")
doc.reply_to_comment(parent_comment_id=0, text="Reply text")
# Suggest tracked changes
doc["word/document.xml"].suggest_deletion(node) # Delete content
doc["word/document.xml"].revert_insertion(ins_node) # Reject insertion
doc["word/document.xml"].revert_deletion(del_node) # Reject deletion
# Save
doc.save()

Description: Systematic approach to diagnosing, handling, and recovering from errors during task execution.
Recovery Strategy:
Attempt 1 - Targeted Fix:
Attempt 2 - Alternative Approach:

Escalation - User Notification: After 3 failed attempts, escalate to user with:
Error Log Template:
## Error Log
| # | Error Type | Message | Attempt | Solution | Result |
| --- | ----------------- | --------------------- | ------- | ------------------------ | ------- |
| 1 | FileNotFoundError | config.json not found | 1 | Created default config | Success |
| 2 | PermissionError | Cannot write to /etc | 2 | Changed output directory | Success |

Best Practices:
id: parallel-ops name: Parallel File Operations triggers: multiple files, batch, parallel, concurrent, all files, bulk, mass, 批量, 并行
Description: Optimize file operations by identifying and executing independent operations in parallel.
Optimization Rules:
Parallel Execution Examples:
✓ PARALLEL - Independent reads:
Read src/a.ts, Read src/b.ts, Read src/c.ts
✓ PARALLEL - Multiple searches:
Grep "pattern1" src/, Grep "pattern2" tests/, Glob "**/*.config.js"
✓ PARALLEL - Independent writes:
Write file1.txt, Write file2.txt, Write file3.txt
✗ SEQUENTIAL - Dependent operations:
Read config.json → parse → Read [dynamic path from config]
✗ SEQUENTIAL - Ordered writes:
Write main.js → run build → Write output.min.js
Best Practices:

Skills can be combined for complex workflows:
| Workflow | Skills Used | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Data Report | xlsx + docx | Extract data from Excel, create formatted Word report |
| Presentation from Data | xlsx + pptx | Analyze Excel data, generate charts in PowerPoint |
| Document Archive | pdf + docx | Convert Word documents to PDF, merge into archive |
| Bulk Processing | parallel-ops + any | Process multiple documents simultaneously |
| Complex Project | task-orchestrator + all | Plan and execute multi-format document workflow |
Skills operate within these constraints:
Important: Operations run directly on the user's real file system without sandbox isolation. Always be careful with destructive operations and confirm significant changes with the user.
