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

suggest-category 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Help the user find the correct SKR chart of accounts category.

IMPORTANT: SME accounts only. This skill applies to GmbH/UG companies that use DATEV standard chart of accounts (SKR03/SKR04). For freelance accounts, use categorize_transaction instead — it has its own category set and AI detection.

How to determine account type

Call get_company_details and check the isSme field:

  • isSme: true → Use this skill (SKR tools below)
  • isSme: false → Use categorize_transaction for freelance AI categorization

Workflow

  1. Determine the search approach based on what the user provides:

    • If they provide an account number or prefix (digits like 42, 4200, 6300), use search_skr_by_code for instant CSV-based results.
    • If they describe a category by name or purpose (e.g. "office rent", "Reisekosten", "software subscriptions"), use suggest_skr_category which leverages OpenAI to semantically match against the full catalog.
  2. Show results clearly: Present the matches with:

    • Account number (code)
    • German name (nameDe)
    • English name (nameEn)
    • Let the user pick the best fit.
  3. Check the company's existing categories: Call list_company_categories to see if the desired category is already provisioned. If it is, inform the user — no need to create a new one.

  4. Create the category if needed: If the user wants to add it, use create_company_category with:

    • The account code from the SKR catalog
    • The name (use the language the user prefers)
    • The cashflow type (INCOME or EXPENSE)
    • Optional German name and description
  5. Context: The company's active chart of accounts (SKR03 or SKR04) determines which catalog is searched. You can check the current template via get_company_details.

Tool summary

Tool For What it does
search_skr_by_code SME only Fast CSV lookup by account number prefix
suggest_skr_category SME only AI (OpenAI) semantic search by name/description
create_company_category SME only Create a new custom DATEV category
list_company_categories SME only List categories already provisioned for the company
categorize_transaction All accounts AI detection for a specific transaction (freelance + SME)
