Today's Agent Skill: Expense Report Compiler
What It Does
Expense reports are the tax everyone hates filing. This skill takes a pile of receipts and transaction descriptions, categorizes them, checks policy compliance, and outputs a submission-ready report.
How It Works
The Expense Report Compiler accepts receipt images, bank statement lines, or manual entries and automatically categorizes each expense (meals, travel, supplies, software). It flags items that may violate company policy thresholds, calculates totals by category, and formats everything into a clean report ready for your expense management system.
How to Deploy It
Run manually at the end of each trip or week by feeding it your receipts folder. For semi-autonomous use, connect it to your corporate card feed so expenses auto-categorize in real time, and a weekly compiled report drops into your inbox every Friday for review and one-click submission.
