adjusted-trial-balance

adjusted-trial-balance is a skill for Claude Code from cynco-labs/ai-accounting-skills. It costs 27 tokens per session (259 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for producing an adjusted trial balance, which is a checked list of account balances after year-end adjustments. It calculates the balances from journal records and requires the result to balance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create the adjusted trial-balance workpaper from current and year-end journals, then pass it to standards review and financial-statement preparation.
Why use it?
It gives financial-statement preparation a documented, reproducible source instead of manually changing account totals or inventing figures.

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

adjusted-trial-balance 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

/adjusted-trial-balance

Doctrine deleted. ATB = roll_tb(journals.json + journals_ye.json). See shared/kernel-contract.md.

Required command

python3 scripts/roll_tb.py --client-dir <client> --adjusted

# or
npx @cynco/accounting-skills tb <client> --adjusted

Writes workpapers/tb_adjusted.json. Fail if difference ≠ 0.

Preconditions

  1. Period journals.json balanced (from post_journals.py or validated pack).
  2. YE pack journals_ye.json present (empty journals: [] only if no AJEs and documented).
  3. Guardrails: never fabricate numbers.

Completion

Done when: tb_adjusted.json exists with difference == 0 via roll_tb.py --adjusted.

Next

Standards review → present FS from this ATB only (prepare-primary-statements).

Changes

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.
