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 13d 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.

Journal Entry Preparation

If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md.

Important: This command assists with journal entry workflows but does not provide financial advice. All entries should be reviewed by qualified financial professionals before posting.

Prepare journal entries with proper debits, credits, supporting detail, and review documentation.

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

Fixed Assets:

  • Pull the fixed asset register or depreciation schedule
  • Calculate period depreciation by asset class and method (straight-line, declining balance, units of production)
  • Debit: Depreciation expense (by department/cost center)
  • Credit: Accumulated depreciation
