What it does

Grocery Budget Audit is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Find where the food money actually goes — a no-shame ledger built from real receipts/statements, the four leak categories (waste, convenience markup, brand autopilot, the takeaway blur), a per-leak fix with realistic savings ranges, and a target budget that survives real life. Use when someone says 'we spend how much on food?!', 'audit my grocery spending', 'cut our food bill', or takeaway guilt is the household argument. Produces the ledger, the leak report, and a keep-the-joy budget.

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.

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

  • Someone says we spend how much on food?!
  • Audit my grocery spending
  • Cut our food bill
  • Takeaway guilt is the household argument

Example prompts

  • “we spend how much on food?!”
  • “audit my grocery spending”
  • “cut our food bill”
  • “/grocery-budget-audit”

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.

  • 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.

  • 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

Grocery Budget Audit loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 128 tokens; SKILL.md has 648 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~128

~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.

description
Find where the food money actually goes — a no-shame ledger built from real receipts/statements, the four leak categories (waste, convenience markup, brand autopilot, the takeaway blur), a per-leak fix with realistic savings ranges, and a target budget that survives real life. Use when someone says 'we spend how much on food?!', 'audit my grocery spending', 'cut our food bill', or takeaway guilt is the household argument. Produces the ledger, the leak report, and a keep-the-joy budget.

Grocery Budget Audit Skill

Food spending is where budgets go to get lied to — partly because it hides in four places at once (the big shop, the top-ups, the delivery apps, the work lunches), and partly because every audit turns moral ("we're so bad"). This one doesn't: it's the [[attention-reset]] method pointed at food money — chosen spending is protected (the Friday takeaway you love stays), and only the captured spending is the target: the food thrown away, the convenience markup on autopilot, the brand tax nobody chose, and the delivery blur that's really a logistics failure wearing a menu.

What This Skill Produces

  • A four-stream ledger: big shops / top-ups / delivery-takeaway / food out, built from whatever evidence exists (receipts, statements, app order history — the app history is where the surprise lives)
  • The leak report: the four leaks quantified for this household, each with its real cause (waste is usually a planning gap, not gluttony)
  • Per-leak fixes with honest expected ranges — labelled as typical outcomes to verify against next month, never promised
  • A keep-the-joy budget: chosen pleasures named and funded, captured spending targeted, and the one-month re-audit date

Required Inputs

Ask for (if not already provided):

  • The evidence: last month's statements/receipts/app histories — or the honest-guess version, labelled as such, with the audit flagged as provisional until real numbers arrive
  • Household shape: people, work-lunch patterns, who shops, who cooks
  • The chosen pleasures to protect — the spending that's working
  • What's been tried and how it died (cash envelopes? meal kits?)

Framework

  1. Assemble the ledger without commentary. Four streams, one month, totals per stream. The delivery-app order history is mandatory evidence if apps are used — memory always undercounts it, and the gap between guess and history is usually the audit's headline.
  2. Sort chosen from captured. The planned Friday takeaway: chosen — protected, budgeted, guilt evicted. The 9pm Tuesday order because nothing was defrosted: captured — a planning gap, addressable. Same meal, different category; the distinction does all the work.
  3. Quantify the four leaks. Waste (what got binned — ask for the honest recurring victims; multiply out) · convenience markup (top-up-shop pricing, pre-cut everything — the top-up trip count is the lever, not the lettuce) · brand autopilot (the categories where own-brand is identical; typically pantry staples, cleaning, basics) · the delivery blur (fees + markups + the order-because-tired pattern — fix is [[meal-prep-os]]'s Thursday plan, not willpower).
  4. Fix per leak, sized honestly. Each fix names its mechanism and a typical range ("top-up trips 4→1/week commonly saves 10-20% of that stream — verify against your month"). No global "slash your bill 50%" claims; the re-audit is the referee.
  5. Set the budget with the joy line in it. Streams budgeted with the chosen items explicitly inside; one flexible buffer; the rule that protects the system: overspend gets investigated (which leak?) not punished. Re-audit in one month against real numbers.

Output Format

## The ledger — [month]
| Stream | Total | Biggest line | Chosen / captured split |
[The guess-vs-history gap, if apps were involved]

## Leak report
| Leak | This household's number | Real cause |

## Fixes (ranges to verify, not promises)
[Per leak: mechanism · typical range · this household's version]

## The budget (joy included)
[Per stream · the protected list · buffer · the investigate-don't-punish
rule · re-audit date]

Quality Checks

  • All four streams present; delivery history requested by name when apps are in play
  • Chosen spending is explicitly protected and appears IN the budget
  • Every savings number is a labelled range-to-verify, never a promise
  • Waste analysis names actual recurring victims from the inputs, not hypothetical lettuce
  • The tone check: zero shame anywhere — data, causes, mechanisms, re-audit

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not moralize any line of the ledger — the audit that shames is the audit that gets abandoned
  • Do not target the chosen pleasures — cutting the loved takeaway is how the whole budget loses its constituency
  • Do not recommend extreme-couponing/13-store optimization — time is a cost; the fixes here are structural, not heroic
  • Do not assert current prices or "average household" comparisons as fact — this household's month is the only benchmark
  • Do not skip the re-audit date; unverified fixes become folklore

[[meal-prep-os]] is the fix for half the leaks; [[attention-reset]] — the same chosen/captured method, different currency; [[debt-payoff]] when the found money needs a destination.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "We spend how much on food?!"
  • "Audit my grocery spending."
  • "Cut our food bill."
