Agent skill

agent-sheet

shell-native spreadsheet CLI for agent work. Use it for workbook inspection, sheet/range reads, precise writes, import/export handoff, review-table construction, formula analysis, and bounded workbook-native scripting with verification.

agent-sheet

agent-sheet is a local spreadsheet CLI for agents. Prefer it when the task needs real workbook structure, formulas, sheet lifecycle, import/export handoff, or a safe shell roundtrip instead of plain CSV cleanup or ad-hoc xlsx library use.

Current product reality:

  • treat agent-sheet as a local-first editor
  • do not rely on it as a direct remote-origin editor

Use it for

  • resolving a workbook and keeping the target explicit with --entry-id
  • inspecting workbook structure, sheets, ranges, formulas, and search hits
  • writing sparse cells, bounded ranges, anchored review tables, or formula fills
  • importing a local workbook, continuing edits, and exporting a final file
  • streaming workbook data through shell tools, then writing verified results back
  • using bounded script js only when built-in commands do not express the workbook change cleanly

Do not default to

  • reopening the workbook with a local workbook library for reads or writes that agent-sheet already covers
  • using shell transforms when a direct write cells, write range, write table, write fill, or sheet ... command is clearer
  • trusting metadata-only surfaces such as file info as proof of workbook structure
  • finishing after a write without a task-specific verification pass

First path

  1. Run playbooks/00-preflight.md.
  2. Resolve the workbook and keep using --entry-id.
  3. Choose the smallest matching command via references/command-selection-matrix.md.
  4. Verify with playbooks/15-verify.md before finishing.

Hard defaults

  • prefer entryId over unitId for local workbooks and imports
  • treat write range as a full bounded rectangle replacement
  • treat write table --sheet <name> as an A1-anchored table write with header semantics
  • verify shell roundtrips with structure plus sample rows, not row count alone
  • use sheet list or inspect workbook for sheet existence and handoff verification
  • treat persist success as a closed dirty-state boundary
  • treat local read-only commands as pure reads; they should not require a follow-up persist

Highest-signal gotchas

  • imported local entries can be healthy even when later file info shows unitId: null; keep operating on entryId
  • do not use agent-sheet as the tool for “user directly edits origin workbook”; that actor should be a real remote user in the browser
  • a read-only script js after daemon restart can reconcile snapshot state without fabricating a local batch
  • file info is metadata only; it does not prove sheet count, sheet names, or formula state
  • do not run init inside an already initialized workspace tree; nested workspace refusal is expected
  • non-English sheet names work, but quote the full A1 range string in the shell
  • shell pipelines can preserve the expected row count while still shifting headers or keys; verify the first rows and key columns after writeback

Read references/gotchas.md when the task looks routine but has import/handoff, shell roundtrip, or workspace ambiguity.

Task routing

Task Read next
workspace root, CLI resolution, or workbook target is unclear playbooks/00-preflight.md
inspect workbook state, extract data, search, or review formulas playbooks/10-read-analyze.md
plan the smallest safe mutation path references/command-selection-matrix.md
make data-visible edits or structural workbook changes playbooks/20-write-safe.md
verify a mutation, shell roundtrip, or handoff playbooks/15-verify.md
create, import, open, or export a local workbook playbooks/30-file-lifecycle.md
stream workbook data through shell tools references/shell-patterns.md
formatting, layout, or other built-in command gaps playbooks/40-script-fallback.md
import/handoff, entryId targeting, file info, or shell verification edge cases references/gotchas.md

Output style

  • prefer bounded previews, file paths, or stream output over oversized inline dumps
  • use --to-stdout for shell pipelines
  • use --to-file --output <path> for large reusable extracts
  • when reporting success, include the verification surface you actually used

Ready-made assets

Use these before improvising shell snippets:

Asset Use when
examples/roundtrip-awk-write-table.md building a review sheet through shell roundtrip
examples/handoff-verify.md exporting, importing, and proving handoff structure
examples/template-import-anchor-check.md importing a template workbook and checking anchor cells
scripts/verify_csv_preview.py comparing header, head sample rows, and a key column
scripts/check_csv_cells.py asserting anchor values or non-empty cells from a CSV snippet

Read next

Read only the file needed for the task:

File Use when
playbooks/00-preflight.md workspace or workbook context is not yet resolved
playbooks/10-read-analyze.md inspecting workbook state, extracting data, searching, or reviewing formulas
references/command-selection-matrix.md picking the smallest correct command before writing
playbooks/15-verify.md proving a mutation or handoff actually succeeded
playbooks/20-write-safe.md choosing the smallest safe mutation path
playbooks/30-file-lifecycle.md creating, importing, opening, or exporting a local workbook
playbooks/40-script-fallback.md built-in commands cannot express the requested workbook change
references/shell-patterns.md the task is naturally a shell pipeline
references/gotchas.md the task involves common real-world failure modes
references/js-api-minimal.md script js is necessary and must stay tightly bounded
examples/roundtrip-awk-write-table.md you need a concrete shell roundtrip example
examples/handoff-verify.md you need a concrete export/import handoff example
examples/template-import-anchor-check.md you need a concrete non-English template import example
