What it does

Invoice Organizer is an agent skill from borghei/Claude-Skills. Categorize invoices and receipts by vendor, expense, and tax bucket, detect duplicates, and produce a tax-ready monthly summary. Use during bookkeeping, tax prep, or expense reimbursement.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/category_rules.json`, `assets/monthly_summary_template.md` and `references/expense_categorization_guide.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Forms and invoices and Accounting and bookkeeping. The repository describes itself as: 385 AI skills, 77 expert agents, and 900 stdlib Python tools for every team: engineering, PM, marketing, C-level, compliance, business ops, research, and a LinkedIn toolkit… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Forms and invoices
  • Tasks that involve Accounting and bookkeeping

Example prompts

  • “/invoice-organizer”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Export receipts from your bank or expense tool as a CSV with columns: date,vendor,description,amount,currency
  2. Run
  3. Review the categorized output and override anything wrong via the rules file
  4. Export the monthly summary for handoff to your accountant

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a698e8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Invoice Organizer loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 636 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Invoice Organizer

Bulk-categorize a CSV of invoices or receipts, detect duplicates, and produce a tax-ready monthly summary.


Table of Contents


Keywords

invoice, invoices, receipt, receipts, expense, expenses, bookkeeping, accounting, tax, tax prep, categorization, vendor, reimbursement, monthly summary


Clarify First

Before categorizing, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

  • Receipt CSV fields — date, vendor, description, amount drive categorization and duplicate detection
  • Tax bucket scheme — US Schedule C vs UK self-employment vs generic sets which categories the summary maps to
  • Recurring-vendor rules — known vendor→category mappings to seed category_rules.json and cut the uncategorized bucket

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.


Quick Start

Categorize 200 Receipts in 1 Minute
  1. Export receipts from your bank or expense tool as a CSV with columns: date,vendor,description,amount,currency
  2. Run:
    bash
    python scripts/invoice_categorizer.py receipts.csv
  3. Review the categorized output and override anything wrong via the rules file
  4. Export the monthly summary for handoff to your accountant

Core Workflows

Workflow 1: Monthly Bookkeeping

Goal: Convert a month of unstructured receipts into a categorized, tax-ready summary in under 10 minutes.

Steps:

  1. Export receipts as CSV from your bank, card, or expense tool
  2. Run: python scripts/invoice_categorizer.py receipts.csv
  3. Review the uncategorized bucket — these need rules added or manual override
  4. Add rules to assets/category_rules.json for any recurring vendors
  5. Re-run; uncategorized count should drop each month as the rules file grows
  6. Drop the monthly summary into assets/monthly_summary_template.md

Expected Output: Categorized expense list + monthly totals by category + duplicate-suspect list.

Time Estimate: 10 minutes/month after initial rules are seeded.

Workflow 2: Duplicate Detection

Goal: Catch double-entered receipts before they reach the books.

Steps:

  1. Run: python scripts/invoice_categorizer.py receipts.csv --json
  2. Inspect the duplicates_suspected list
  3. Confirm whether each is a true duplicate (same charge entered twice) or a coincidence (same amount on different days at different vendors)
  4. Remove confirmed duplicates from the source CSV; re-run

Expected Output: Cleaned CSV with no duplicate rows.

Time Estimate: 2-3 minutes per month.

Workflow 3: Vendor Spend Review

Goal: Find spend creep — vendors whose monthly total grew significantly without you noticing.

Steps:

  1. Run categorizer for the last 3-6 months separately
  2. Compare per-vendor totals month-over-month
  3. Flag any vendor where total grew > 25% with no obvious business reason
  4. Either renegotiate, switch, or accept; revisit quarterly

Expected Output: Vendor-spend trend list with flagged growth.

Time Estimate: 15 minutes per quarter.


Tools

invoice_categorizer.py

Reads a CSV of receipts/invoices and:

  • Categorizes each row by vendor + description against rules in assets/category_rules.json (extensible)
  • Aggregates totals per category and per vendor
  • Detects likely duplicates (same vendor + amount within 3 days)
  • Flags uncategorized items for manual review
bash
# Human-readable summary
python scripts/invoice_categorizer.py receipts.csv

# JSON for programmatic use
python scripts/invoice_categorizer.py receipts.csv --json

# Use a custom rules file
python scripts/invoice_categorizer.py receipts.csv --rules my-rules.json

Expected CSV columns: date, vendor, description, amount (currency optional) Date formats accepted: YYYY-MM-DD, MM/DD/YYYY, DD/MM/YYYY


Reference Guides

  • references/expense_categorization_guide.md — Standard expense categories, common tax buckets (US Schedule C, UK self-employment, generic), how to map vendors to categories

Templates

  • assets/category_rules.json — Default rules; extend with your recurring vendors
  • assets/monthly_summary_template.md — Format for handing the monthly summary to an accountant

Best Practices

  • Categorize monthly, not annually. Annual catch-up bookkeeping always misses receipts and produces guess-categorization.
  • Grow the rules file over time. First month: 30% uncategorized. Sixth month: < 5%. The compounding return on rule-writing is high.
  • Keep evidence. Categorization is bookkeeping; receipts (PDFs, photos) are tax evidence. Store separately from this script's output.
  • Don't trust auto-categorization for tax filing. Use it for prep; have a human (you or your accountant) sign off before filing.
  • Currency consistency. If you have multi-currency receipts, convert at month-end FX rate before this script; it does not handle FX.

Integration Points

  • Pairs with finance/ skills for budgeting and forecasting
  • Feeds into c-level-advisor/cs-cfo-advisor cash-flow workflows
  • Used by solo-founder persona for monthly close
