Skywork Excel
A spreadsheet powerhouse that does more than you'd expect. It generates Excel files from scratch with formulas, charts, and pivot tables, but also pulls live data directly from the web without needing separate search tools. You can throw CSV, PDF, or even images at it and get structured tables back. The workflow runs async in the background since tasks can take 5-25 minutes, and you poll a log file every 60 seconds to track progress. It supports multi-turn sessions so you can iterate on the same workbook. One quirk: you must pass user queries verbatim to the backend without rewording them. The skill handles financial modeling, data cleaning, and format conversion, and it works in 16 languages. Requires a Skywork API key.

🚫 CRITICAL: Pass Query As-Is, Do NOT Read User Files
- NEVER use the
readtool on user-provided files (Excel, PDF, CSV, images, etc.). Pass file paths via--filesand let the backend handle reading. - Do NOT rewrite, expand, or reinterpret the user's query. Pass it as-is. The backend agent has its own understanding capabilities.
- Only two modifications are allowed:
- Time info: For time-sensitive queries, prepend current time:
[Current time: 2026-03-14] User request: ... - File paths: Replace absolute paths with filenames only (e.g.,
/Users/xxx/report.xlsx→report.xlsx)
- Time info: For time-sensitive queries, prepend current time:
