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…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Convert Excel to Markdown ## When to use this skill Trigger this skill any time there is a `.xlsx` file that needs to be understood or processed — for example, a user attaches a spreadsheet and asks questions about it, wants a summary of the data, wants specific rows or values pulled out, or wants multiple workbooks in a folder processed together. Excel's native `.xlsx` format is a zipped XML bundle that is not reliably readable as plain text, so always convert it to Markdown first using the script in this skill rather than trying to open or parse the file directly. This skill only supports `.xlsx`. If asked to convert a legacy `.xls` file, tell the user it isn't supported and ask them to re-save it as `.xlsx` (Excel: File > Save As > Excel Workbook (.xlsx)) first. **Mixed file types:** When the user references a folder or set of documents containing multiple supported file types (`.pdf`, `.docx`, `.xlsx`), this skill handles only `.xlsx` files. The agent MUST also invoke the sibling skills in parallel: - `convert-pdf-to-md` for any `.pdf` files - `convert-word-to-md` for any `.docx` files Never process a folder and silently skip a supported file type. All three …

How to install
mdr add github/awesome-copilot/convert-excel-to-md@sha256:f392579af2e4f3f7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260715.e4a1f57, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
