What it does

Expense Sheet Design is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Design an expense-tracking sheet that survives real receipts — the capture-at-spend habit, the category set that matches reimbursement or tax rules, the receipt-link discipline, and the month-end close that takes minutes because the work happened at spend-time. Use when asked track my business expenses, build an expense sheet for the team, get ready for reimbursement/tax season, or my shoebox of receipts needs a system.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 and Tax preparation. 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

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 Sheet Design loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 143 tokens; SKILL.md has 690 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~143
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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
Design an expense-tracking sheet that survives real receipts — the capture-at-spend habit, the category set that matches reimbursement or tax rules, the receipt-link discipline, and the month-end close that takes minutes because the work happened at spend-time. Use when asked track my business expenses, build an expense sheet for the team, get ready for reimbursement/tax season, or my shoebox of receipts needs a system. Produces the sheet structure, the capture ritual, the category mapping to the real downstream rules, and the month-end close.

Expense Sheet Design Skill

Expense tracking has one law: it happens at spend-time or it happens badly. The March reconstruction — a shoebox of receipts, a statement, and archaeology — produces worse data at fifty times the cost of a fifteen-second capture habit. The sheet's design serves that habit: columns light enough to fill from a phone, categories that map to the downstream consumer's rules (the reimbursement policy, the tax return's lines — not aesthetic taxonomy), receipts linked not shoeboxed, and a month-end close that's minutes because every entry already exists.

What This Skill Produces

  • The sheet structure — the capture-light column set (date, amount, merchant, category, receipt-link, notes-if-odd), one row per expense
  • The category set — mapped to the actual downstream: the employer's reimbursement categories, or the tax return's deduction lines (jurisdiction-flagged), never invented ontology
  • The capture ritual — the fifteen-second at-spend habit: photograph receipt → one row → done
  • The month-end close — reconcile against the statement, chase the gaps, subtotal by category, file the export

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The downstream consumer — reimbursement (get the policy's categories and rules — per-diem? caps? receipt thresholds?), tax deductions (the return's categories — via the local professional per quarterly-tax-rhythm discipline), or just visibility; the categories are theirs, not ours
  • The spend surfaces — cards (which), cash frequency, subscriptions (auto-captured monthly rows), mileage/travel if relevant (their own capture rules)
  • The volume and the users — solo (one sheet, one habit) vs. team (submission rules and the approver's view enter the design)

Framework: The Design Rules

  1. Capture-light or capture-never: the row takes ≤15 seconds from a phone: date (auto-ish), amount, merchant, category from a dropdown, receipt photo linked. Every additional required field taxes the habit; notes are for the odd expense, not every expense.
  2. Categories are the downstream's, verbatim: if the reimbursement policy has nine categories, the dropdown has those nine, spelled identically — month-end becomes transcription instead of translation. Tax-facing sheets use the return's deduction lines, flagged verify-with-the-professional; a beautiful custom taxonomy that maps to nothing is future manual work, scheduled.
  3. The receipt lives with the row: photo at spend-time into one folder (filename-convention: date_merchant_amount), link in the row — the shoebox is retired. Receipt-threshold rules (many policies/authorities only require receipts above X — verify) noted so effort matches requirement.
  4. The statement is the auditor: month-end close = statement vs. sheet — missing rows chased while memory exists (the 15-minute version of March's archaeology), duplicates caught, then category subtotals produced in downstream-ready form. The close is fast because capture happened; it is not the capture mechanism.
  5. The odd ones get their note now: the client-dinner attendees, the mixed personal/business split, the why of the weird charge — one line at capture-time, because these are exactly the entries that are inexplicable in March and the ones auditors ask about (the document-retention-map keeps the records as long as they can ask).

Output Format

Expense Sheet: [scope] — feeds: [reimbursement policy / tax return / visibility]

The Structure

[Columns with the ≤15-second test applied · the dropdown source · the receipt-link route]

Category Mapping

Sheet category (= downstream's)Downstream lineReceipt required? (verify)

The Capture Ritual

[The 15-second flow, phone-first · subscriptions as auto-rows · the odd-one note rule]

Month-End Close (15 min)

[Statement reconcile → chase gaps → subtotals in downstream format → export filed]

Reimbursement rules and deduction categories are the downstream's law — policy documents and local tax professionals define them; this sheet transcribes, never decides. Not tax advice.

Quality Checks

  • A row passes the 15-second phone test
  • Categories are verbatim from the downstream consumer
  • Every row links its receipt; thresholds noted where rules allow less
  • The close reconciles against the statement monthly
  • Odd expenses carry their explanation from day one

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not design for the reconstruction — the sheet serves the at-spend habit or it serves the shoebox
  • Do not invent categories — the downstream's list, spelled identically, is the whole trick
  • Do not require heavy rows — every mandatory field beyond five costs compliance
  • Do not skip the monthly reconcile — capture without audit drifts, quietly
  • Do not decide deductibility in the sheet — categories transcribe; the professional decides

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Track my business expenses."
  • "Build an expense sheet for the team."
  • "Get ready for reimbursement/tax season."
  • "My shoebox of receipts needs a system."
