Markdown Table Maker

Create, format, align, sort, transpose, and convert tables between Markdown, CSV, JSON, and TSV using pure Python without dependencies.

Security Scan

The skill's code and instructions are consistent with its stated purpose (local Markdown/CSV/JSON/TSV table manipulation), request no secrets, make no network calls, and have no surprising install behavior.

Purpose & Capability

The name/description (Markdown table creation, conversion, alignment, sorting, transpose) match the included Python script: all functions operate on Markdown/CSV/JSON/TSV and perform expected read/write/format operations. No unrelated binaries or credentials are requested.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md describes operations that correspond to command-line actions implemented in scripts/table_maker.py. The runtime instructions and examples reference reading and writing files specified by the user (e.g., data.csv, README.md), which is appropriate for a table tool. There are no broad or vague directives to harvest system state or collect extra context.

Install Mechanism

No install spec is provided (instruction-only skill) and the single included Python file has no external dependencies. Nothing is downloaded from external URLs during install; the risk surface from installation is minimal.

Credentials

The skill requests no environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. The script only reads files the user names and writes output files if requested—proportional to the declared functionality.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not modify other skills or system settings. It performs file I/O only on files the user specifies; it does not persist credentials or alter agent configuration.

Assessment

This skill appears to do exactly what it says: local table conversion and formatting using a small pure-Python script. Before installing or enabling it, review any file paths you give it (to avoid accidental overwrites) and optionally inspect the included scripts/table_maker.py (it's short and readable). Because it reads and writes files you specify, run it on non-sensitive data or in a sandbox the first time if you have concerns. There are no network calls or secret requests in the code, so there is no obvious exfiltration risk in this package.

🚀 Usage

Create a table

Create a markdown table with columns: Name, Age, City. Add 3 sample rows.

Convert CSV to Markdown

Convert data.csv into a Markdown table and save as table.md.

Align columns

Format the markdown table in README.md with the Name column left-aligned, Age right-aligned, and City center-aligned.

Sort a table

Sort the markdown table by the Price column in descending order.

Transpose

Transpose the markdown table (swap rows and columns).
