A workflow for creating budgets, assigning spending limits to departments, and comparing planned amounts with actual spending.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to gather historical spending, set department budgets, allocate line items, and produce variance analyses.
Why use it?
It helps explain where spending differs from the plan and provides a structured basis for adjusting allocations and targets.

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

budget-planning 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 9d 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.

Budget Planning

Create structured budgets by department, track actual spending against targets, and produce variance analyses that explain deviations. This skill supports top-down and bottom-up budgeting approaches, handles multi-department allocation, and generates actionable reports that highlight where spending is on track and where corrective action is needed.

Workflow

  1. Gather Historical Data Collect 6-12 months of actual spending data broken down by department and cost category. Identify trends, seasonal patterns, and one-time expenses that should be excluded from baseline calculations. Compute trailing averages and growth rates for each line item to establish a data-driven starting point.

  2. Set Budget Targets by Department Define top-level budget envelopes for each department based on company revenue targets, strategic priorities, and historical run rates. Apply growth adjustments — departments investing in new initiatives may get 15-25% increases while mature cost centers target flat or declining budgets. Ensure the sum of department budgets aligns with the company-wide operating expense target.

  3. Allocate Line Items Break each department budget into specific line items: personnel (salaries, benefits, contractors), software and tools, travel, marketing spend, office and facilities, professional services, and discretionary. Assign monthly phasing — some costs are evenly distributed while others are front-loaded (annual software renewals) or seasonal (Q4 marketing pushes).

  4. Track Actuals vs. Budget As actual spending data comes in, map each transaction to the corresponding budget line item and period. Calculate period-to-date (MTD, QTD, YTD) actuals and compare against the phased budget. Compute both absolute dollar variance and percentage variance for each line item.

  5. Generate Variance Reports Produce variance analysis showing over- and under-budget categories with explanations. Classify variances as timing (spending shifted between months but will normalize), volume (more/less activity than planned), rate (unit costs differ from plan), or permanent (structural change requiring budget revision). Project year-end estimates based on current run rates.
