What it does

Expense Policy is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Write a clear company expense & reimbursement policy. Use when asked to write an expense policy, a reimbursement policy, a travel & expense (T&E) policy, or spending guidelines. Produces a practical policy — what's covered, limits by category, the approval and submission process, timelines, and what's not reimbursable — that's fair, easy to follow, and reduces finance back-and-forth. Not tax/legal advice.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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: 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 write an expense policy
  • A reimbursement policy
  • A travel & expense (T&E) policy
  • Spending guidelines

Example prompts

  • “s not reimbursable — that”
  • “/expense-policy”

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 Policy loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 511 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~106
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

Write a clear company expense & reimbursement policy. Use when asked to write an expense policy, a reimbursement policy, a travel & expense (T&E) policy, or spending guidelines. Produces a practical policy — what's covered, limits by category, the approval and submission process, timelines, and what's not reimbursable — that's fair, easy to follow, and reduces finance back-and-forth. Not tax/legal advice.

Expense Policy Skill

A good expense policy answers the questions people actually have — "can I expense this, how much, and how do I get paid back?" — before they have to ask. This skill writes a clear, fair policy with category limits and a simple process, so employees spend confidently and finance isn't chasing receipts.

Note: this is a drafting aid, not tax, legal, or accounting advice. Tax treatment of reimbursements, per-diem rules, and what's deductible vary by jurisdiction — have it reviewed by finance/an accountant. Set the amounts to your company's actual budget.

Working from a brief

Given "an expense policy for a 50-person startup", produce the full policy anyway — use sensible, clearly-labelled default limits (set your amount) and a standard process, marking company-specific choices. Never present limits or tax treatment as authoritative; flag them to set/confirm.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided (else use a labelled default):

  • Company context — size, remote/office, and how generous/lean the culture is.
  • Categories — what's commonly expensed (travel, meals, software, home office, client entertainment).
  • Limits & approvals — any existing per-category limits and who approves what.
  • Process & tools — how expenses are submitted (tool/spreadsheet), reimbursement method, and timelines.

Output Format

Expense & Reimbursement Policy
  • Purpose & principles — the spirit (spend as if it's your own money; reasonable, business-related), in a line or two.
  • What's reimbursable — by category, with limits (set your amount):
CategoryWhat's coveredLimit / guidanceApproval
Travel (flights/hotels)…e.g. economy; $X/nightmanager
Mealsbusiness meals$X/day or per-mealmanager
Software/toolswork subscriptionsup to $Xmanager/IT
Home officeequipment$X one-timemanager
  • What's not reimbursable — the clear exclusions (personal items, alcohol policy, fines, etc.).
  • Approval — who approves, and the threshold where extra sign-off is needed.
  • How to submit — the step-by-step (receipts required over $X, submit within N days, the tool used).
  • Reimbursement — method and timeline (e.g. next payroll / within N days).
  • Travel specifics — booking process, per-diems if used, and advances.
  • Misuse — what happens if the policy is abused.

Mark all amounts (set your amount) and add a note to confirm tax treatment with finance.

Quality Checks

  • Each common category has clear coverage and a limit (or a labelled placeholder)
  • The approval thresholds and approvers are explicit
  • The submission process (receipts, deadlines, tool) is step-by-step
  • Reimbursement method and timeline are stated
  • Non-reimbursable items and misuse consequences are covered
  • Amounts and tax treatment are flagged to set/confirm, not asserted

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not leave limits vague ("reasonable") with no number or guidance — that creates the disputes
  • Do not bury the process — people need to know exactly how to get paid back
  • Do not assert tax/per-diem rules as fact — flag for finance to confirm by jurisdiction
  • Do not omit what's not covered — the exclusions prevent the awkward conversations
  • Do not make it so strict it signals distrust, or so loose it has no teeth — aim for fair and clear

Based On

Finance-operations practice — clear, category-based expense policies with limits, approval workflow, and a simple submission/reimbursement process.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Write an expense policy."
  • "Write a reimbursement policy."
  • "Write our travel and expense policy."
  • "Set spending guidelines for the team."
