reconciliation is a skill for Claude Code from anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,700 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A process for comparing two records of the same account, such as the general ledger and a bank statement, to confirm that their balances agree.

In plain words
What is it for?
Performing bank, general-ledger-to-subledger and intercompany reconciliations, then categorising and ageing differences.

About the project

Knowledge Work Plugins is an open-source collection of Claude extensions organized around roles such as productivity, sales, and customer support. Each plugin combines role-specific guidance, connectors, commands, and sub-agents so knowledge workers can use Claude with their team’s tools and processes. The catalogue entries are examples of, or workflows from, this plugin collection.

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

reconciliation 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 2d 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.

Reconciliation

Important: This skill assists with reconciliation workflows but does not provide financial advice. All reconciliations should be reviewed by qualified financial professionals before sign-off.

Methodology and best practices for account reconciliation, including GL-to-subledger, bank reconciliations, and intercompany. Covers reconciling item categorization, aging analysis, and escalation.

Reconciliation Types

GL to Subledger Reconciliation

Compare the general ledger control account balance to the detailed subledger balance.

Common accounts:

  • Accounts receivable (GL control vs AR subledger aging)
  • Accounts payable (GL control vs AP subledger aging)
  • Fixed assets (GL control vs fixed asset register)
  • Inventory (GL control vs inventory valuation report)
  • Prepaid expenses (GL control vs prepaid amortization schedule)
  • Accrued liabilities (GL control vs accrual detail schedules)

Process:

  1. Pull GL balance for the control account as of period end
  2. Pull subledger trial balance or detail report as of the same date
  3. Compare totals — they should match if posting is real-time
  4. Investigate any differences (timing of posting, manual entries not reflected, interface errors)

Common causes of differences:

  • Manual journal entries posted to the control account but not reflected in the subledger
  • Subledger transactions not yet interfaced to the GL
  • Timing differences in batch posting
  • Reclassification entries in the GL without subledger adjustment
  • System interface errors or failed postings

Bank Reconciliation

Compare the GL cash balance to the bank statement balance.

Process:

  1. Obtain the bank statement balance as of period end
  2. Pull the GL cash account balance as of the same date
  3. Identify outstanding checks (issued but not cleared at the bank)
  4. Identify deposits in transit (recorded in GL but not yet credited by bank)
  5. Identify bank charges, interest, or adjustments not yet recorded in GL
  6. Reconcile both sides to an adjusted balance
