What it does

Expense Filer is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Turn a pile of receipts into a filed expense report through a tool-using agent — extraction, policy checks, and categorization done for you; submission gated on your approval. Use when asked to file my expenses, process these receipts, build my expense report, or expense this trip. Produces the itemized report with policy flags and an approval-gated filing plan.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/worked-example.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Accounting and bookkeeping. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to file my expenses
  • Process these receipts
  • Build my expense report
  • Expense this trip

Example prompts

  • “/expense-filer”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Extract with provenance — every line links to its source receipt; a number without a receipt is a flag, not a line.
  2. Categorize by the policy's taxonomy, not intuition; unknown category → flag with a best-guess clearly marked.
  3. Screen before math: duplicates (same merchant+amount±1 day), split-transaction patterns, weekend/personal-suspect items…
  4. Normalize currency at the receipt-date rate, shown per line.
  5. Reconcile or refuse: if extracted totals and report totals disagree, the report doesn't ship.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

Expense Filer loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 590 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~95
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~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.

description
Turn a pile of receipts into a filed expense report through a tool-using agent — extraction, policy checks, and categorization done for you; submission gated on your approval. Use when asked to file my expenses, process these receipts, build my expense report, or expense this trip. Produces the itemized report with policy flags and an approval-gated filing plan.

Expense Filer Skill

Nobody's judgment is improved by hand-typing receipts. This skill does the clerk work — extraction, categorization, policy screening, currency normalization — and stops at the line that matters: submission happens only after a human reads the report. Numbers must reconcile; anything ambiguous is flagged, never guessed.

What This Skill Produces

  • The itemized report — merchant, date, amount, currency, category, project/cost-center, per receipt
  • Policy flags — over-limit items, missing-itemization risks, personal-expense suspicion, duplicates, each with the fix
  • The reconciliation line — receipts total vs report total, to the cent
  • The filing plan — what gets submitted where, gated on approval

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The receipts — images, PDFs, forwarded emails, or a folder the agent can read
  • The policy — per-diem limits, category caps, itemization rules (or "use conservative defaults and flag everything near an edge")
  • Context — trip/project the expenses attach to, cost center, currency of the report
  • The expense system — Concur/Expensify/Ramp/a spreadsheet — and whether draft-only or submit is desired

Framework

  1. Extract with provenance — every line links to its source receipt; a number without a receipt is a flag, not a line.
  2. Categorize by the policy's taxonomy, not intuition; unknown category → flag with a best-guess clearly marked.
  3. Screen before math: duplicates (same merchant+amount±1 day), split-transaction patterns, weekend/personal-suspect items, alcohol-on-meal-receipt rules — flag, never silently drop or include.
  4. Normalize currency at the receipt-date rate, shown per line.
  5. Reconcile or refuse: if extracted totals and report totals disagree, the report doesn't ship.

Output Format

Expense Report: [trip/project] — [period]

#DateMerchantAmountCurr→ [report curr]CategoryReceiptFlags
Total: [n] items · [amount] · reconciles ✓
Flags needing you: [each with the question to answer]

Quality Checks

  • Every line traces to a receipt; every receipt appears exactly once
  • Totals reconcile to the cent, conversion shown per line
  • Every policy edge is flagged with the specific rule it grazes
  • Nothing ambiguous was guessed — flags ask, lines assert

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not round away discrepancies — a report that's $3 off is wrong, not close
  • Do not categorize creatively to fit under caps — flag the overage; gaming policy is the user's career, not your cleverness
  • Do not drop suspect items silently — surfacing them is the service
  • Do not submit anything — filing is gated below, always

Execution

For agents with file/OCR access and expense-system access (API or UI). Without tools, the report itself is the deliverable. Rules per SKILLSPEC.md §5.

Preconditions
  • The report above produced, flags resolved by the user, and the final version explicitly approved by a human.
  • Expense-system access authenticated; the target report/trip container named.
  • The filing plan (create entries, attach receipts, save as draft vs submit) displayed and confirmed — submit requires its own explicit yes.
Allowed actions
  • Create the expense entries exactly as in the approved report; attach the corresponding receipt files.
  • Save the report as a draft in the system.
  • Submit only if the user's approval explicitly included the word-level go for submission.
  • Nothing else: no editing existing reports, no touching payment methods, no approving on behalf of anyone.
Verification
  • Re-read the created report from the system: line count, per-line amounts, and total match the approved version; every entry shows its attachment.
  • Report the system's own total back next to the approved total.
Rollback
  • Draft reports: delete the draft. Submitted reports: recall/withdraw if the system allows; otherwise notify the user immediately with the exact state.
  • Stop and ask a human if: the system rejects an entry, an attachment fails, or any created total drifts from the approved one.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "File my expenses."
  • "Process these receipts."
  • "Build my expense report."
  • "Expense this trip."
