CSV

Documents

csv

CSV is an Agent Skill for documents published in the x-cmd/x-cmd repository on GitHub: a SKILL.md instruction file an AI agent can load to do this task.

CSV data processing — view, filter, convert, merge tabular data. Zero barrier — use with x-cmd, Python, or awk. Use for "csv", "data", "table", "spreadsheet", "conversion".
