We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

5 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 4 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 3

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Call search_transactions for the specified period (default: last month)

    line 18
  2. Very specific:

    Call get_company_balance for current balance context

    line 20
  3. Distinctive:

    If the user asks for a longer period (quarter or year), provide:

    line 39
  4. Distinctive:

    If data is available for the previous equivalent period:

    line 46
  5. Distinctive:

    Keep amounts in the company's currency (EUR in Germany, PLN in Poland) and label it.

    line 75

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 4 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Generate a comprehensive expense report for the user:

Step 1: Gather data

  • Call search_transactions for the specified period (default: last month)
  • Filter for outgoing transactions (expenses only, exclude income)
  • Call get_company_balance for current balance context

Step 2: Categorize and group

Group expenses by bookkeeping category. For each category show:

  • Category name
  • Total amount (in the company's currency)
  • Number of transactions
  • Percentage of total expenses

Present as a ranked list, largest category first.

Step 3: Top vendors

List the top 10 vendors/payees by total spend:

  • Vendor name
  • Total amount
  • Number of transactions
  • Average transaction amount

Step 4: Trends and insights

If the user asks for a longer period (quarter or year), provide:

  • Month-over-month comparison of total expenses
  • Categories that increased or decreased significantly
  • Recurring vs. one-time expenses
  • Largest single transactions in the period

Step 5: Comparison (if possible)

If data is available for the previous equivalent period:

  • Total expenses this period vs. last period
  • Percentage change
  • Categories with the biggest increase/decrease
  • Flag any unusual or new expense categories

Presentation format

Structure the report clearly:

Expense Report: [Period]
========================
Total Expenses: X,XXX.XX [currency]

By Category:
  1. [Category]     X,XXX.XX [currency]  (XX%)  [N transactions]
  2. [Category]       XXX.XX [currency]  (XX%)  [N transactions]
  ...

Top Vendors:
  1. [Vendor]       X,XXX.XX [currency]  [N transactions]
  2. [Vendor]         XXX.XX [currency]  [N transactions]
  ...

Keep amounts in the company's currency (EUR in Germany, PLN in Poland) and label it. Use clear formatting for readability. Offer to drill down into any specific category if the user wants more detail.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
