✓
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, README, openclaw manifest, and code all match: the package reads and writes local .xlsx files, lists sheets, pages rows, replaces or appends sheets. Required capabilities (filesystem access) are proportionate to the stated purpose.
✓
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and skills/excel/SKILL.md instruct only to install/build the plugin and to use the excel_* tools against local .xlsx files. The runtime instructions and code operate only on local filesystem paths and do not reference external endpoints, unrelated files, or broad system data collection.
✓
Install Mechanism
No install spec pulling remote archives is present; code is bundled in the package and dependencies are standard npm packages (openclaw, xlsx, typebox). There are no URL downloads or extract steps from arbitrary hosts in the manifest.
✓
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables or credentials. The code only reads process.env.HOME to expand ~ in paths — this is reasonable for resolving user paths and is documented via the defaultDirectory config.
!
Persistence & Privilege
skills/excel/SKILL.md contains YAML metadata with {"openclaw":{"always":true}} which would force the skill to be included in every agent run; registry metadata for the skill lists always: false. This discrepancy gives the plugin elevated persistence if the SKILL.md metadata is honored and increases the blast radius because the skill can read/write local files. Confirm which setting the platform will enforce and whether always:true is intentional.
What to consider before installing
This plugin appears to do what it says: local .xlsx inspection and row editing. Before installing, confirm the following: (1) The SKILL.md (skills/excel/SKILL.md) includes metadata setting always:true — decide whether you want the plugin force-enabled for every agent run; if not, remove or change that metadata. (2) The plugin reads and writes any .xlsx path you provide (it resolves ~ and absolute/relative paths), so avoid giving it sensitive workbooks or system-wide paths. (3) The package uses standard npm dependencies — if you require extra assurance, review the package-lock.json and the dist/src code locally and run tests in a sandboxed account before enabling in production. (4) If you do enable it, consider setting a restrictive defaultDirectory and running the plugin under a least-privilege account or container to limit filesystem exposure.

Excel Plugin

Native OpenClaw plugin that adds local .xlsx workbook tools with:

  • workbook sheet inspection and basic sheet metadata
  • row-based reads from a selected sheet with pagination
  • sheet replacement from structured JSON rows
  • row appends that preserve existing workbook sheets

Install

npm install
npm run build
openclaw plugins install .
openclaw plugins enable excel
openclaw gateway restart

Config

{
  plugins: {
    entries: {
      excel: {
        enabled: true,
        config: {
          defaultDirectory: "~/Documents",
          maxRows: 500,
        },
      },
    },
  },
}

defaultDirectory is optional and only affects relative paths. maxRows defaults to 500.

Tools

  • excel_list_sheets
  • excel_read_sheet
  • excel_replace_sheet
  • excel_append_rows

Usage

After enabling excel, ask for things like:

  • List the sheets in ~/Documents/report.xlsx.
  • Read the first 50 rows from the Pipeline sheet.
  • Replace the Summary sheet in report.xlsx with these rows.
  • Append these new leads to the Leads sheet.

The plugin works on local .xlsx files and returns structured row data in the tool details.
