Use expense_record with expense_id for an edit.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Add expense with Otis
Use the connected Otis MCP at https://mcp.otisbase.com/mcp. If its tools are unavailable, explain connection and email-code sign-in in the browser; never ask for codes in chat or simulate a successful action. First find the business with businesses_list and pass its business_id on scoped calls. Read business_get for missing setup. Read otis://docs/workflows when available. Ask only for missing facts. Never invent prices, payments, tax treatment or consent. Monetary values use integer currency minor units. Reuse a stable request_id for identical write retries; follow structured blockers instead of guessing. Workflow tools: clients_list, expenses_list, expense_record.
- Collect vendor, category, description, date and cost. Ask whether the expense belongs to a client and whether it should be billable; cost and billable amount are separate facts. Inspect prior records if this might be an edit or duplicate.
- Use expense_record with expense_id for an edit. A billable_amount_minor creates or updates one linked billable atomically; do not call billable_record for it again. Preserve required existing values during replacement. Report what was saved; references are links, not uploaded attachments.
Stay within the requested workflow. A command starts guided work; it does not approve unspecified writes or invoice issuance. Show the recorded result and any remaining steps.

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.
