Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Tax preparation and Financial analysis. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Tax preparation
  • Tasks that involve Financial analysis

Example prompts

  • “fondo production”
  • “fondo tax filing ready”
  • “fondo year-end checklist”
  • “/fondo-prod-checklist”

Requirements

  • A credential in FONDO_API_KEY
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep

Workflow steps

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

  1. Attach evidence or a named owner decision to each applicable control and maintain professional review for financial/tax conclusions.
  2. Verify scoped secrets, source reconciliation, redacted diagnostics, access boundaries, and safe failure handling before promotion.
  3. Run a synthetic canary and review aggregate health, delivery, and reconciliation results; halt on discrepancy or access failures.
  4. Record approval, exceptions, correction/rollback owner, and follow-up date.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript).

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.fondo.com

    Also links to:

    • fondo.com
    • irs.gov

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • FONDO_API_KEY

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

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Fondo Prod Checklist loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 444 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

Fondo Production Checklist

Overview

Fondo handles startup tax preparation, R&D credit claims, bookkeeping, and compliance filings. A production integration syncs financial data from banking, payroll, and expense platforms into Fondo for automated tax workflows. Failures mean missed filing deadlines, incorrect R&D credit claims, or unreconciled books that block board reporting.

Prerequisites

  • A finance owner, authorized reviewer, completed staging evidence using synthetic data, and documented rollback/correction process.
  • Approved data flows, retention rules, access controls, filing calendar, and escalation contacts.

Instructions

  1. Attach evidence or a named owner decision to each applicable control and maintain professional review for financial/tax conclusions.
  2. Verify scoped secrets, source reconciliation, redacted diagnostics, access boundaries, and safe failure handling before promotion.
  3. Run a synthetic canary and review aggregate health, delivery, and reconciliation results; halt on discrepancy or access failures.
  4. Record approval, exceptions, correction/rollback owner, and follow-up date.

Output

Create a launch receipt with completed controls, evidence references, aggregate canary results, approver, exception status, and recovery owner. Exclude financial records, tax data, payroll data, and credentials.

Examples

Process a fictional expense export in staging, simulate an incomplete reconciliation, and verify the workflow pauses for finance review. Promote only after the reviewer records evidence and the rollback/correction path has been tested.

Authentication & Secrets

  • FONDO_API_KEY stored in secrets manager (not config files)
  • Financial integration OAuth tokens stored securely (Stripe, Mercury, Brex)
  • Key rotation scheduled before each tax season
  • Separate credentials for staging/prod environments
  • Payroll provider API tokens scoped to read-only
Show full SKILL.md (202 more words)Show less

API Integration

  • Production base URL configured (https://api.fondo.com/v1)
  • Rate limit handling with exponential backoff
  • All bank accounts connected and syncing (verified daily)
  • Payroll provider connected with W-2 and 1099 data flowing
  • Revenue sources synced (Stripe, invoicing platforms)
  • Expense tool integrations verified (Brex, Ramp, Expensify)
  • Bookkeeping categorization queue drained before close

Error Handling & Resilience

  • Circuit breaker configured for Fondo API outages
  • Retry with backoff for 429/5xx responses
  • Bank sync failure detection within 24 hours
  • Intercompany transaction reconciliation validated
  • R&D qualifying activity documentation verified programmatically
  • Filing deadline alerts set 30/14/7 days before due dates

Monitoring & Alerting

  • API latency tracked per sync endpoint
  • Error rate alerts set (any financial sync failure = immediate)
  • Monthly close completion tracked (all 12 months before year-end)
  • R&D credit calculation validated against employee tags
  • Extension filing status monitored (Form 7004 before March 15)
