What it does

Money Priorities Order is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Decide where your next dollar should go — the order to tackle emergency fund, high-interest debt, retirement match, and saving/investing — so you stop guessing and build momentum. Use when asked what should I do with my money first, pay off debt or save, where to put extra money, or help me prioritize my finances. Produces a personalized order-of-operations for your situation, the reasoning for each step, where you are on the ladder and the next concrete move, and honest flags on the judgment calls. Educational —…

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.

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 what should I do with my money first
  • Where to put extra money
  • Help me prioritize my finances

Example prompts

  • “/money-priorities-order”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Start with a small buffer. A modest starter emergency fund first prevents new debt from the next surprise — before aggressive payoff or…
  2. Grab free money. Capture any employer retirement match up to the limit — an instant return that beats paying down most debt.
  3. Kill high-interest debt. Above the match, high-interest debt (cards) usually beats investing — a guaranteed return equal to the rate.
  4. Build the full cushion. Grow the emergency fund to a few months of expenses, sized to income stability and dependents.
  5. Then invest and fund goals. Tax-advantaged investing and specific goals come after the foundation — and lower-interest debt can run…
  6. Flag the human calls. Snowball (smallest balance for momentum) vs. avalanche (highest rate for math), and risk tolerance, are personal…

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

Money Priorities Order loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 141 tokens; SKILL.md has 573 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~141
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.

description
Decide where your next dollar should go — the order to tackle emergency fund, high-interest debt, retirement match, and saving/investing — so you stop guessing and build momentum. Use when asked what should I do with my money first, pay off debt or save, where to put extra money, or help me prioritize my finances. Produces a personalized order-of-operations for your situation, the reasoning for each step, where you are on the ladder and the next concrete move, and honest flags on the judgment calls. Educational — not financial advice.

Money Priorities Order

Most money stress isn't "how do I budget" — it's "I have some money (or some slack), what do I do with it first?" Pay debt or save? Invest or build a cushion? This lays out a sensible order of operations for your situation, shows where you currently sit on that ladder, and names the single next move — so you act with a plan instead of guilt and guessing.

What This Skill Produces

  • A personalized order of operations — the sequence (starter emergency buffer → employer match → high-interest debt → full emergency fund → tax-advantaged investing → goals), adjusted to your reality
  • The why for each step — the logic (e.g. free match beats almost everything; high-interest debt beats most investing returns)
  • Where you are now — which rung you're on and what's already handled
  • The next concrete move — one clear action, not the whole ladder at once
  • The judgment calls — where reasonable people differ (e.g. small debts for momentum vs. highest-rate first) flagged honestly

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • Debts — types, balances, and interest rates (rates are the key input)
  • Savings — any emergency fund, and how stable your income/expenses are
  • Retirement — access to an employer match or tax-advantaged accounts, and current contributions
  • The slack — roughly how much extra per month, or a lump sum
  • Goals & context — near-term goals, dependents, job stability, region

Framework: Highest-Value Dollar First

  1. Start with a small buffer. A modest starter emergency fund first prevents new debt from the next surprise — before aggressive payoff or investing.
  2. Grab free money. Capture any employer retirement match up to the limit — an instant return that beats paying down most debt.
  3. Kill high-interest debt. Above the match, high-interest debt (cards) usually beats investing — a guaranteed return equal to the rate.
  4. Build the full cushion. Grow the emergency fund to a few months of expenses, sized to income stability and dependents.
  5. Then invest and fund goals. Tax-advantaged investing and specific goals come after the foundation — and lower-interest debt can run alongside.
  6. Flag the human calls. Snowball (smallest balance for momentum) vs. avalanche (highest rate for math), and risk tolerance, are personal — present the trade-off, don't dictate.

Output Format

Money priorities: extra ~[amount] · debts [rates] · match? [y/n]

Your order of operations

  1. [step — status: done/in progress/next]
  2. [step] … (tailored ladder)

Where you are: [rung], with [what's handled]. Your next move: [one concrete action with the amount]. Judgment call: [e.g. snowball vs avalanche — the trade-off, your call].

Educational, not financial advice. This is a general framework; your rates, stability, and goals drive it — consider a fee-only advisor for big decisions.

Quality Checks

  • Order is personalized to the person's debts/rates, match, and buffer
  • Explains the reasoning for each step (match, interest rates)
  • Identifies where they currently are on the ladder
  • Gives one concrete next move, not the whole list
  • Flags the genuine judgment calls (snowball vs avalanche, risk)
  • States it isn't financial advice

Anti-Patterns

  • A rigid one-size ladder ignoring their rates and stability.
  • Skipping the employer match — leaving free money.
  • "Invest everything" while high-interest debt compounds.
  • No starter buffer — one surprise restarts the debt cycle.
  • Dictating snowball vs avalanche instead of showing the trade-off.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Should I pay off my credit card or build savings first?"
  • "I have $500 extra a month — where should it go?"
  • "What should I do with my money first? I'm overwhelmed."
  • "Pay down my student loan or invest?"
  • "Help me prioritize: debt, emergency fund, or retirement?"
