What this skill does
Excel Generator ⚠️ Multi-Turn Session Rule (CRITICAL) When the user's request is a continuation of a previous Excel task, you MUST use the --session parameter. How to detect a continuation task: User says: "continue", "modify", "optimize", "adjust", "based on the previous...", "improve the last one..." User references previous output: "that report", "the previous Excel", "the analysis above" User asks for changes to existing work: "add a chart", "change to purple", "add a column" How to use sessionid: 1. Look for the previous task's output: 💡 To continue this conversation, use: --session xxx 2. Add --session xxx to the command: ⛔ If you don't pass --session, the agent will start fresh and lose all previous context! --- 🚫 CRITICAL: DO NOT READ USER FILES NEVER use the read tool on user-provided files (Excel, PDF, CSV, images, etc.). The backend agent will read and process files itself. You only need to: 1. Upload files using the CLI script --files parameter 2. Pass the user's query directly without modification Reading files wastes time and causes timeouts. Just upload and let the backend handle everything. --- ⚠️ IMPORTANT: Background Execution with Progress Monitoring Excel tasks take 5-25 minutes. You MUST run the script in background and poll the log every 5 seconds to keep the UI responsive and avoid timeouts. Step 1: Start script in background Step 2: Monitor progress (REQUIRED) STRICT RULES — no exceptions: 1. Poll every 60 seconds by calling exec tool repeatedly. Excel tasks take 10-25 minutes. 2. Only show the LAST TASK PROGRESS UPDATE. Do NOT output full log or summarize it. 3. NEVER restart the task. The Excel agent handles errors internally and will auto-recover. 4. Ignore all errors in the log (e.g., ❌, Missing parameter, jupyterexecute errors). These are normal — the agent will retry automatically. …
