## Capabilities

- Sends natural language spreadsheet tasks to the Skywork Excel Agent backend.
- Uploads Excel, CSV, PDF, and image files for backend processing.
- Streams task progress and clarification events from a server-sent events endpoint.
- Downloads generated Excel, CSV, HTML, PDF, image, and ZIP outputs.
- Supports iterative refinement by reusing session identifiers.
- Uses Skywork authentication through an environment token, cached token, or browser login.

## Use Cases

- Build monthly business reports: Create formatted workbooks with summaries, charts, and downloadable report files from sales or operations data.
- Analyze uploaded spreadsheets: Upload Excel or CSV files, request trends or summaries, and receive structured outputs for review.
- Convert documents into tables: Send PDFs or images to the backend and request extracted tables or cleaned spreadsheet outputs.

## Prompt Templates

### Create a simple workbook

```
Create an Excel workbook for monthly expenses with date, category, amount, notes, totals, and basic formatting.
```

### Analyze a data file

```
Analyze the uploaded sales spreadsheet. Summarize revenue by product, identify top customers, and add clear charts.
```

### Generate an executive report

```
Create an HTML and Excel report from the uploaded quarterly data with trends, risks, recommendations, and supporting charts.
```

### Refine a prior output

```
Using the previous session, add a regional breakdown sheet, improve chart labels, and update the summary for executives.
```

## Limitations

- Requires a valid Skywork account token and reachable Skywork backend services.
- Uploads prompts and files to an external service, so sensitive data needs prior approval.
- Complex report jobs can take several minutes and may require progress polling.
- Output quality depends on the backend agent and the clarity of the user request.

## Best Practices

- Confirm that files are approved for upload before using the backend service.
- Give exact columns, chart types, output format, and audience requirements in the request.
- Reuse the printed session identifier when asking for changes to a previous output.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not upload confidential files without user approval and data handling review.
- Do not treat generated formulas, charts, or extracted data as verified without checking them.
- Do not start duplicate long-running jobs when progress logs show that a task is still active.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-07T05:17:55.583\+00:00
- Summary: The audit confirmed real risks around external Skywork API use, user-file upload, token caching in ~/.skywork\_token, local log/output writes, and one Windows shell invocation. Most SKILL.md backtick findings are markdown false positives, not executable Ruby or shell code. Instruction-level issues remain because the skill tells agents to upload files to a backend and ignore backend log errors.
