Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

prep-journal-entry scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 114 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Prep Journal Entry

One balanced journal entry from type-specific template. Invariants enforced every write: debits equal credits within 1 cent, every glCode exists in locked chart of accounts, status: "draft" (never posted without explicit user confirm), reversing: true requires reversesEntryId + opposite sign convention.

Draft-only: write markdown + index row; user/accountant post to QuickBooks Online / Xero.

When to use

  • "book the accrual journal entry" / "draft the depreciation journal entry for Q1" / "post the prepaid amortization".
  • "revenue recognition journal entry for March" / "stock-comp journal entry for the period".
  • "reclass this $X from General & Admin to R&D" / "book this adjustment".
  • "book the payroll journal entry from Gusto / Rippling / Justworks" - use type=payroll with the pay-period summary.
  • "post the reversing entries for this period" / "draft this period's reversals" - use type=accrual mode=reversing to auto-reverse every active accrual flagged reversing=true.
  • Called by run-monthly-close for every due standard journal entry in close loop.

Connections I need

I run external work through Composio. Before this skill runs I check that the categories below are linked. Missing → I name the category, ask you to connect it from the Integrations tab, stop.

  • Payroll provider (Gusto, Rippling, Justworks, Deel, ADP) — required for type=payroll if you want me to pull the pay-period summary directly. Otherwise you paste the summary.
  • QuickBooks Online or Xero (accounting) — optional, used to cross-check account codes for type=adjustment or type=reclass.
  • Linear — optional, only used to look up project context if you want a memo grounded in a ticket.

If type=payroll and no payroll connection exists I stop and ask you to connect Gusto / Rippling / Justworks, or paste the pay-period summary.

Information I need

I read your bookkeeping context first. For every required field that's missing I ask ONE plain-language question (best modality: connected app > file drop > URL > paste) and wait.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
