accounting-software-selection

accounting-software-selection is a skill for Claude Code from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. It costs 37 tokens per session (6,563 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An evidence-based process for comparing accounting software. It records requirements, candidate products, the same tests for each product, supporting evidence, costs, and the final decision.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to shortlist accounting packages, score them against defined requirements, compare first-year and three-year costs, record deal-breakers, and document selection or rejection reasons.
Why use it?
It makes a software purchase easier to justify and compare, rather than relying on unsupported opinions or inconsistent demonstrations. It is not a bookkeeping, tax-filing, legal, or procurement system.

About the project

AAS Core is a local control plane for coding agents that lets them search a large catalogue of skills, choose a stack, validate it, and create a reproducible plan. It is used to assemble and review agent workflows through its CLI, local MCP server, catalogue, plugins, and Workbench. The catalogue add-ons provide the skills, plugins, bundles, and workflows that AAS Core helps agents select and validate.

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

accounting-software-selection 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 15d 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.

Accounting Software Selection

What it is: The evidence behind a software purchase, recorded so the decision is arguable - and the decision itself still belongs to the business.

Overview

Works out the smallest useful Accounting Software Selection setup for the business in front of it, then builds it only when asked. The default output is a short recommendation, not a spreadsheet. Artifacts - CSV, SQL DDL, JSON Schema, Notion mapping - are produced on request, from one field list so they cannot drift apart.

For a Nepal trading, manufacturing or services business, this is the record that makes the purchase arguable: requirements ranked, a candidate shortlist, the same demo tests run against every candidate, the evidence behind every score, cost split so first-year and three-year totals can be compared, and the evaluation status, selection decision, rejection reason and deal-breaker flag kept as four separate fields instead of one opinion. It is an evaluation and decision-support tool, not a bookkeeping, tax-filing, legal or procurement system.

Four guardrails shape every row.

Nothing is invented, and nothing is asserted without a source. Never supply a vendor capability, a price, a compliance status, a demo result or a stakeholder score that the user or a named source did not give. What nobody has verified is Untested for a capability and an empty cost cell with Unknown in Notes for a price. A capability nobody has looked at is Untested; it is not 1 Missing, and a blank is never filled with a plausible number so the row looks finished.

This skill never selects. It may summarise the evidence, name the requirements a candidate fails, and state that a Must-have is failed. It must not declare a package the best option, announce a winner, state a compliance conclusion or record an approval. The business fills Selection Decision itself.

Fact and opinion stay apart. The thirty capability fields carry what the vendor documented or demonstrated. The three Rating fields carry the named evaluator's own judgement. A brochure claim is never copied into a Rating, and an evaluator's impression is never written into a capability field. An average across evaluators is not objective truth and a score never becomes a recommendation.

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.
