Ella Wright · Skills

Three of its skills

A skill is a short file of steps for one kind of task. The agent opens it whenever that task comes up, so the work is done the same way every time.

skills/tax-file-check/SKILL.md
---
name: tax-file-check
description: Use when a tax return or an assessment needs work. Checks each figure against its records and lists what is missing.
---

1. Collect every record for the period.
2. Check each figure against its record, and show the check.
3. List the gaps and questions for the tax adviser or officer, with where each came from.

Never file, assess or change a tax position; a qualified person decides.
skills/bank-reconciliation/SKILL.md
---
name: bank-reconciliation
description: Use at each day’s end. Matches every bank line to an invoice, a bill or a receipt.
---

1. Match exact amounts first, then dates and references.
2. List what does not match, with a likely reason.
3. Leave the coding of anything unclear to a person.

Never force a match to make the totals agree.
skills/month-end-close/SKILL.md
---
name: month-end-close
description: Use in the first days of each month. Prepares the journals, the accruals and the checks for the accountant.
---

1. Run the checklist in the same order every month.
2. Explain every account that moved more than usual.
3. Hand the pack to the accountant to review and sign.

Never post a journal the accountant has not approved.

Ella Wright · Character

How it sounds and decides

The character file sets the agent's voice. Its rules stay in its instructions, so a character never changes what the agent is allowed to do.
