What is an agent skill?

A skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file and any scripts, templates or references it needs. The agent reads its description, decides a task matches, and loads the full instructions on demand. It is procedural knowledge, packaged so it can be shared.

How is a skill different from an MCP server?

A skill teaches an agent how to do something; an MCP server gives it something to do it to. A skill is files the agent reads, with no process running. A server is a program the agent talks to. Many workflows use both.

Which agents can use these skills?

Skills are plain markdown and files, so any agent that reads a folder of instructions can use one. Claude Code and the Claude apps load them natively from a skills directory; other agents can be pointed at the same folder. Each listing shows the install path.

How do I install an agent skill?

Copy the skill's folder into the directory your agent loads skills from. For Claude Code that is ~/.claude/skills for every project, or .claude/skills inside one repo. Start a new session and the agent discovers it. Each listing carries the exact command.

Use this skill any time a spreadsheet file is the primary input or output. This means any task where the user wants to: open, read, edit, or fix an existing .xlsx, .xlsm, .xltx, .csv, or .tsv file (e.g., adding columns, computing formulas, formatting, charting, cleaning messy data); create a new spreadsheet from scratch or from other data sources; or convert between tabular file formats. Trigger especially when the user references a spreadsheet file by name or path — even casually (like \"the xlsx in my downloads\") — and wants something done to it or produced from it. Also trigger for cleaning or restructuring messy tabular data files (malformed rows, misplaced headers, junk data) into proper spreadsheets. The deliverable must be a spreads
