crewAI released version 1.15.37 on 7 November, adding spreadsheet reading for agents in crewai-files and support for scaffolding and loading standalone agent projects. The release also updates the RagTool description so that Mintlify parses it better.

The release was published on GitHub by João Moura, one of the project's maintainers, and is marked as the latest version of the crewAI repository. Its feature list has two items, both aimed at how agents are packaged and what files they can handle.

The first adds functionality that lets agents read spreadsheets through the crewai-files module. The second adds the ability to scaffold standalone agent projects and load them.

On the documentation side, the RagTool description was revised for better parsing by Mintlify, the docs platform. Vidit Ostwal, João Moura and Lorenze Jay are named as contributors.

## Why it matters if you build agents

Developers who need agents to work with spreadsheet data can now rely on crewai-files for that instead of building their own file handling. Standalone agent projects can be generated and loaded as separate units, which may help with reuse across projects.

The release notes do not list any breaking changes, but it is worth reading the full changelog before upgrading an existing crewAI codebase.
