What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by contextgo/contextgo in src/process/resources/skills/office-analyst-pack/skills/office-duckdb-install/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
This skill is absorbed from the DuckDB official install workflow and adapted for ContextGo office tasks.
What it is for
Use this skill when DuckDB itself is missing or when a file reader depends on extensions.
Use when
duckdbcommand is missing- a file read or query fails because an extension is not installed
- the user wants DuckDB updated before doing analysis
Workflow
Step 1: Check whether DuckDB exists
If the CLI is not installed, provide the platform-specific path:
- macOS:
brew install duckdb - Linux: installer script from DuckDB
- Windows:
winget install DuckDB.cli
Step 2: Identify what must be installed
Common office analysis cases:
httpfsfor remote filesspatialfor spatial file formatssqlite_scannerfor SQLite reads- Excel-related reader support when needed by the local DuckDB build
Step 3: Install or update safely
Prefer explicit installs and report what changed.
Step 4: Hand control back to the analysis skill
Once DuckDB is ready, continue with:
office-duckdb-read-fileoffice-duckdb-query
Output format
Return:
1. Status
- installed / missing / outdated
2. Required extensions
- what is needed

3. Next step
