tag-my-rd-spend

tag-my-rd-spend is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from akiotanaka847/qaio-desktop. It costs 111 tokens per session (2,021 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A classification report for company spending that may support US federal research-and-development tax work under Section 174 and the federal R&D credit. It groups eligible costs into wages, supplies, cloud or computer leasing, and qualifying contract research.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to classify employee time and other project costs, allocate them to projects, identify missing project tags, and separate research work from routine analytics, post-release work, funded research, or general administration.
Why use it?
It gives your tax preparer a structured view of possible R&D costs and records exclusions and uncertain decisions. It is support for tax preparation and does not file Form 6765.

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

tag-my-rd-spend 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 12d 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.

Tag My R&D Spend

Section 174 and R&D-credit support for the tax year. I bucket qualified spend into the four IRS categories — wages, supplies, cloud / computer leasing, contract research at 65% — and allocate by project where you have one. Exclusions (routine analytics, post-release work, funded research, General & Admin of R&D) are listed with citations so your tax preparer can audit each call. Support only — I never file Form 6765.

When to use

  • "tag R&D spend for the credit" / "Section 174 breakout" / "classify R&D expenses for {year}".
  • Called by hand-off-to-my-tax-preparer when domains.tax.rdCreditEligible == "yes".
  • Before year-end handoff, surface missing project tags or uncertain R&D-vs-General & Admin calls.

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) — preferred source for wages by employee and role, which drives the qualified-wages bucket. Required if you have employees.
  • QuickBooks Online or Xero (accounting) — optional supplement for vendor payments and contractor spend if I can't see them in run history.

If no payroll connection exists and you do have employees I stop and ask you to connect your payroll tool, or drop a payroll summary CSV.

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.

  • The tax year you're claiming — Required. Why: defines the date range I aggregate spend across. If missing I ask: "Which tax year are we classifying R&D for?"
  • R&D-credit eligibility — Required. Why: confirms whether to run a federal-credit-style breakout or just a Section 174 amortization view. If missing I ask: "Is the company planning to claim the federal R&D credit this year, or is this just for Section 174 amortization?"
  • Each employee's role and the share of their time spent on qualified R&D — Required. Why: drives the qualified-wages bucket; engineers default to 100%, product / design less. If missing I ask: "What does each person on the team do, and roughly what share of their time is hands-on engineering or research? If you'd rather, I'll start with defaults (engineering 100%, product 50%, design 25%, others 0%) and you correct anything off."
  • Your project list — Optional. Why: lets me allocate qualified spend by project, which the credit form wants. If you don't have it I roll everything into one "Unallocated R&D" bucket.
  • Your cloud-hosting R&D share — Optional. Why: pre-revenue companies usually treat 100% of cloud as R&D; revenue companies split production vs. R&D. If missing I ask: "How much of your AWS / GCP / Vercel spend is for development and research vs. running the live product? If you don't have it I default to 100% R&D pre-revenue."

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.
