What sheets-terminal-spreadsheet does

This skill teaches the coding assistant to inspect CSV spreadsheets through the terminal tool sheets. The interface supports vim-style keys such as h, j, k, and l, alongside commands like :w and :q.

The utility also runs in batch mode. It extracts cell ranges like B1:B3 and updates values directly from shell arguments without opening the UI. This helps when piping query outputs from other command-line programs.

Commands will fail without the compiled sheets binary available in your system path. You need to build it via Go or download an official release beforehand.

What it helps with

  • browse CSV spreadsheets inside the terminal without heavy editors
  • extract single cell values or ranges for shell scripts
  • update cell contents from command arguments non-interactively
  • edit tabular data using familiar vim keybindings

Example prompts for the agent

  • Open budget.csv using the sheets terminal tool
  • Extract the value range B1:B10 from data.csv with sheets
  • Set cell B7 to 10 in budget.csv non-interactively
