What it does

Fin Journal Entry Prep is an agent skill from evolution-foundation/evo-nexus. Prepare journal entries with proper debits, credits, and supporting documentation for month-end close. Use when booking accruals, prepaid amortization, fixed asset depreciation, payroll entries, revenue recognition, or any manual journal entry.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Accounting and bookkeeping. The repository describes itself as: The open source operating system for AI-powered businesses.

When your agent uses it

  • Booking accruals
  • Prepaid amortization
  • Fixed asset depreciation
  • Payroll entries

Example prompts

  • “/fin-journal-entry-prep”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Entry description/memo: Clear, specific description of what the entry records and why
  2. Calculation support: How amounts were derived (formula, schedule, source data reference)
  3. Source documents: Reference to the underlying transactions or events (PO numbers, invoice numbers, contract references, payroll register)
  4. Period: The accounting period the entry applies to
  5. Preparer identification: Who prepared the entry and when
  6. Approval: Evidence of review and approval per the authorization matrix
  7. Reversal indicator: Whether the entry auto-reverses and the reversal date

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7f5dd76. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Fin Journal Entry Prep loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 924 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 924 words (~1,961 tokens).

“Important: This skill assists with journal entry workflows but does not provide financial advice. All entries should be reviewed by qualified financial professionals before posting.”
