Localized reading guide

month-end-prepPurpose, usage and source

Reconciles the accounting ledger (MYOB, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, or Zoho Books) against PayPal, Shopify, Square, and Stripe settlements, flags transactions that need attention, suspicious duplicates, and missing receipts, then writes a plain-English P&L narrative and exports a close packet (xlsx + one-page PDF). This is the first link of the /close-month command; a request to close the month or the books routes there, and the command runs this skill before refreshing the forecast and distributing the packet. Use this skill directly only when the owner wants the reconciliation alone, with no forecast refresh and no distribution: "just reconcile, no packet," "what's missing from the books," "flag the duplicates and missing receipts," or "write the P&L narrative for this month."

What this Skill does

Reconciles the accounting ledger (MYOB, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, or Zoho Books) against PayPal, Shopify, Square, and Stripe settlements, flags transactions that need attention, suspicious duplicates, and missing receipts, then writes a plain-English P&L narrative and exports a close packet (xlsx + one-page PDF). This is the first link of the /close-month command; a request to close the month or the books routes there, and the command runs this skill before refreshing the forecast and distributing the packet. Use this skill directly only when the owner wants the reconciliation alone, with no forecast refresh and no distribution: "just reconcile, no packet," "what's missing from the books," "flag the duplicates and missing receipts," or "write the P&L narrative for this month."

How the upstream workflow works

Quick start

Connect your bookkeeping ledger and at least one payment processor, then say "let's close the month." Claude walks you through each step of the checklist, pausing for your input at each gate before moving forward. Any connected ledger runs the close. Each has a reference file for its reads and its "needs attention" signal: reference/quickbooks-reconcile.md, reference/xero-reconcile.md, reference/zoho-books-reconcile.md; NetSuite and MYOB are in reference/v2_sources.md. Ledgers are peers (../../shared/connector-neutrality.md): if two are connected, ask which holds the books being closed, read the other only for what it uniquely holds, and never sum a figure across both. Every amount is in the business's currency (../../shared/currency-and-locale.md). The thresholds below (0.50, 0.01, 25) are in that currency. If a connector is missing, Claude falls back to asking for a CSV export — it won't silently skip a step.

Workflow

Work through these steps in order. Each step has a completion state; don't advance until the current step is settled.

Step 3 — Pull payment processor settlements

Fetch settlement reports from PayPal, Square, Stripe, or Shopify — whichever are connected — for the same calendar month. Check the bank feed first. When a processor pays out through a bank feed, the payout is already a ledger line and the question is whether it has been matched. Find unreconciled bank lines naming a processor and list them per processor as the action items before doing any CSV match. This applies to any ledger that carries a bank feed with a reconciled state — the usual case in Xero, and QuickBooks bank-feed lines when the connector exposes them. MYOB holds no bank side, and Zoho Books exposes balances but no bank-transaction list, so a MYOB or Zoho Books close goes straight to the CSV match below.

Requirements and setup

No short requirements passage was selected from this file. This does not mean the Skill has no dependencies. Check the repository setup instructions and referenced files.

Limits and quality checks

No separate limits passage was selected from this file. This does not mean the Skill is safe for every input or environment. Review the complete source and validate your own result.

Start with a safe trial

  1. Check the supported host and the repository installation instructions. Keep the Skill directory and its referenced scripts, assets and documentation together; SKILL.md alone may omit dependencies.
  2. Give the agent your real input, desired output and acceptance criteria. Invocation syntax and available tools depend on the host; this site does not assume a universal install command.
  3. Try the source workflow in a disposable project or on a copy. Review operations that change files, remote services or billable resources before allowing them.
  4. Validate the output against the source quality checks and your own requirements. A successful trigger or a high repository Star count does not establish a correct result.
