convert-excel-to-md

by GitHub Copilot

Converts Excel (.xlsx) workbooks into Markdown so their contents can be accurately analyzed, summarized, searched, or extracted from. Use this skill whenever the user shares, references, or asks about a .xlsx file — even if they don't say "convert" or "markdown" explicitly. This includes requests to "read", "summarize", "review", "extract data from", "compare", "chart", or "analyze" a spreadsheet, workbook, budget, data export, or tracker. Always run the bundled conversion script to produce Markdown first; do not attempt to parse .xlsx content directly or write ad-hoc extraction code. Also use this skill for batch requests involving a whole folder of Excel workbooks. IMPORTANT: When the user references a folder or set of documents containing multiple file types (.pdf, .docx, .xlsx), invoke ALL three sibling skills — convert-pdf-to-md, convert-word-to-md, and convert-excel-to-md — so no file type is silently skipped.

Reasons about the Actions threat model that pattern matchers and general code linters miss — untrusted-input script injection, privileged triggers running fork code, mutable action references, and over-scoped tokens. Use this skill when asked to review, audit, harden, or secure a GitHub Actions workflow, when writing a new workflow, or for any request like "is this workflow safe?", "review my CI for security issues", "why is pull_request_target dangerous here?", "pin my actions", or "lock down GITHUB_TOKEN permissions". Covers script injection via ${{ }} interpolation, pull_request_target / workflow_run privilege escalation, SHA-pinning of third-party actions, least-privilege permissions, GITHUB_ENV/GITHUB_OUTPUT injection, secret exposure, OIDC over long-lived credentials, and self-hosted runner exposure on public repositories.1 installssql-code-reviewUniversal SQL code review assistant that performs comprehensive security, maintainability, and code quality analysis across all SQL databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle).

convert-word-to-mdConverts Word (.docx) documents into Markdown so their contents can be accurately analyzed, summarized, searched, or extracted from. Use this skill whenever the user shares, references, or asks about a .docx file — even if they don't say "convert" or "markdown" explicitly. This includes requests to "read", "summarize", "review", "extract data from", "compare", or "analyze" a Word document, resume, report, contract, or proposal. Always run the bundled conversion script to produce Markdown first; do not attempt to parse .docx content directly or write ad-hoc conversion code. Also use this skill for batch requests involving a whole folder of Word documents. IMPORTANT: When the user references a folder or set of documents containing multiple file types (.pdf, .docx, .xlsx), invoke ALL three sibling skills — convert-pdf-to-md, convert-word-to-md, and convert-excel-to-md — so no file type is silently skipped.5 installsfreecad-scriptsExpert skill for writing FreeCAD Python scripts, macros, and automation. Use when asked to create FreeCAD models, parametric objects, Part/Mesh/Sketcher scripts, workbench tools, GUI dialogs with PySide, Coin3D scenegraph manipulation, or any FreeCAD Python API task. Covers FreeCAD scripting basics, geometry creation, FeaturePython objects, interface tools, and macro development.4 installscodebase-memory-mcpUse when exploring unfamiliar code, mapping architecture, finding symbols or relationships, tracing callers, callees, data flow or dependencies, assessing impact, auditing dead or complex code, or handling explicit Codebase Memory requests. Otherwise skip tasks confined to a supplied known file, tiny one-file check, exact literal, configuration value, error string, or non-code text.4 installsprompt-optimizerTurn any rough prompt, half-formed idea, or task description into a finished, ready-to-send prompt optimized for any LLM model inside a chat interface — NOT the API. Use this skill whenever the user wants to write, rewrite, optimize, improve, sharpen, or polish a prompt for chat. Trigger phrases include "rewrite this prompt", "make this a better prompt", "optimize this prompt", "turn this into a prompt", "help me prompt this", "draft a prompt that...", "I want to ask...", or whenever the user pastes a draft prompt and asks for improvements. Also trigger when the user describes a task they plan to send to an LLM model and clearly wants a reusable, well-structured prompt rather than a direct answer. The output is always a single, copy-pasteable prompt in a code block that the user sends as-is — never a template with placeholders.4 installsdraw-io-diagram-generatorUse when creating, editing, or generating draw.io diagram files (.drawio, .drawio.svg, .drawio.png). Covers mxGraph XML authoring, shape libraries, style strings, flowcharts, system architecture, sequence diagrams, ER diagrams, UML class diagrams, network topology, layout strategy, the hediet.vscode-drawio VS Code extension, and the full agent workflow from request to a ready-to-open file.4 installsbreakdown-feature-prdPrompt for creating Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) for new features, based on an Epic.2 installs
