prove

prove is a skill for Claude Code from cynco-labs/ai-accounting-skills. It costs 18 tokens per session (397 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A bookkeeping quality-check workflow for an accounting engagement. It chooses checks based on whether the work is routine bookkeeping or a year-end, compilation, or tax engagement.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check bookkeeping records, transactions, journals, bank reconciliations, and trial balances, or to run deeper year-end checks and financial-statement review. It can mark the engagement complete when the required checks pass.
Why use it?
It helps prevent a job from receiving checks that are too extensive or too limited for its agreed scope. It also makes the final handoff point to a generated HTML report.

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

prove 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

/prove

Depth-scoped prove — not always year-end QC.

Do this

  1. Read engagement_state.json → engagement_type (default bookkeeping_only).
  2. Load shared/runtime-brief.md · references/depth_gates.json.
  3. Refresh HTML pack (required gate):
python3 scripts/generate_html_report.py <client>
  1. Branch:

A — bookkeeping_only (default)

python3 scripts/depth_gates.py <client> --strict
# or: python3 scripts/close_engagement.py <client> --no-export-ledger

Required: register · txns · journals · bank recon 0 · prelim TB · outputs/*_pack.html.
Optional: Beancount export · Fava (explore only — not the handoff).
On green: status: done · tell user open the HTML pack path · “Books for [period] are ready.”
Do not open full QC/FS unless user upgrades depth.

B — year_end / compilation / year_end_tax

  1. quality-review then depth_gates.py --strict (ATB + FS + QC A + HTML).
  2. Lock via finalise-accounts only after user confirms.
  3. Optional: export Beancount · Fava. Tax only for year_end_tax.

Done when: depth_gates --strict green; user message points at HTML pack, not a list of .md files.

See shared/slash-surface.md · scripts/depth_gates.py.

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.
