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

journal-entry 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 8d 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.

Usage

/je <type> <period>

Arguments

  • type — The journal entry type. One of:
    • ap-accrual — Accounts payable accruals for goods/services received but not yet invoiced
    • fixed-assets — Depreciation and amortization entries for fixed assets and intangibles
    • prepaid — Amortization of prepaid expenses (insurance, software, rent, etc.)
    • payroll — Payroll accruals including salaries, benefits, taxes, and bonus accruals
    • revenue — Revenue recognition entries including deferred revenue adjustments
  • period — The accounting period (e.g., 2024-12, 2024-Q4, 2024)

Workflow

1. Gather Source Data

If ~~erp or ~~data warehouse is connected:

  • Pull the trial balance for the specified period
  • Pull subledger detail for the relevant accounts
  • Pull prior period entries of the same type for reference
  • Identify the current GL balances for affected accounts

If no data source is connected:

Connect ~~erp or ~~data warehouse to pull GL data automatically. You can also paste trial balance data or upload a spreadsheet.

Prompt the user to provide:

  • Trial balance or GL balances for affected accounts
  • Subledger detail or supporting schedules
  • Prior period entries for reference (optional)

2. Calculate the Entry

Based on the JE type:

AP Accrual:

  • Identify goods/services received but not invoiced by period end
  • Calculate accrual amounts from PO receipts, contracts, or estimates
  • Debit: Expense accounts (or asset accounts for capitalizable items)
  • Credit: Accrued liabilities
