Choose how to use this skill
You do not need every option. Choose the path your AI client supports. The stable page stays the same; versioned files are immutable.
1. Native installer
This listing has no registered native installer command. Use the complete package or source fallback below, depending on what your client supports.
Do not guess an installer command or replace an existing version without reviewing the diff.
2. Complete package recommended
Download the ZIP when available. It includes SKILL.md plus the references, security notes and version metadata.
No complete ProSkills package is published for this listing yet.3. Prompt-only
Copy the prompt above when the agent can read the stable page or when you want to adopt the workflow without installing a skill.
Need only the instruction file?
Download SKILL.md only if your client requires a single file. The complete ZIP is safer for a full installation because it preserves the references and release context.
No path installs or executes anything by itself. Your agent still needs access to the project files. Before updating, compare the installed version and review the diff.

Bookkeeping Skills
Open-source bookkeeping skills for AI agents. Built by Receiptor AI.
[!IMPORTANT] Want the fastest path from inbox to books? Try Receiptor AI to capture receipts and invoices from Gmail or Outlook automatically before handing them off to your agent workflows.
These skills follow the Agent Skills specification so they can be used by any skills-compatible agent — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, and 40+ others.
Full documentation at bookkeeping.md.
Use case
Receiptor bookkeeping skills help AI agents and Receiptor's own extraction/categorization systems convert source financial documents into accountant-reviewable bookkeeping outputs. They define evidence standards, categorization rules, approval boundaries, and handoffs across receipt processing, categorization, reconciliation, monthly close, and tax prep for small businesses.
The goal is controlled bookkeeping support, not autonomous tax filing or unsupervised accounting-system mutation.
Jurisdiction model
General bookkeeping principles live in the skill files. Country-specific tax, deduction, filing, payroll, sales tax, VAT/GST, and statutory reporting rules live in jurisdictions/.
The current active baseline is United States. If the user's jurisdiction is unknown, an agent should stop at jurisdiction-neutral bookkeeping work and ask before applying tax-specific rules.
Installation
npx skills (recommended)
Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, and 40+ agents:
npx skills add Receiptor-AI/bookkeeping-skills
Install a specific skill:
npx skills add Receiptor-AI/bookkeeping-skills -s receipt-processing
Install for a specific agent:
npx skills add Receiptor-AI/bookkeeping-skills -a claude-code
npx skills add Receiptor-AI/bookkeeping-skills -a codex
npx skills add Receiptor-AI/bookkeeping-skills -a cursor
Install globally (available across all projects):
npx skills add Receiptor-AI/bookkeeping-skills -g
Claude Code (manual)
Add the skills to .claude/skills/ in your project root:
git clone https://github.com/Receiptor-AI/bookkeeping-skills.git
cp -r bookkeeping-skills/skills/ .claude/skills/bookkeeping/
Or globally at ~/.claude/skills/.
Codex CLI
git clone https://github.com/Receiptor-AI/bookkeeping-skills.git ~/.codex/skills/bookkeeping-skills
OpenCode
Clone the full repo (do not copy only the inner skills/ folder):
git clone https://github.com/Receiptor-AI/bookkeeping-skills.git ~/.opencode/skills/bookkeeping-skills
OpenCode auto-discovers all SKILL.md files under ~/.opencode/skills/. No config changes needed.
Manual
Each skill is a self-contained folder. Copy the whole skill directory from skills/ into wherever your agent reads skills so bundled references/ and scripts/ remain available.
Skill map
Start with bookkeeping-setup when the agent does not already know the business context. Then follow the operating loop:
bookkeeping-setup
-> receipt-processing
-> expense-categorization
-> bank-reconciliation
-> monthly-close
-> tax-prep

How it works
Each skill is a portable agent package:
SKILL.mdactivates the skill and gives the core procedurejurisdictions/separates country-specific tax and compliance rules from general bookkeeping procedurereferences/holds domain details the agent should read only when neededscripts/holds deterministic helpers for repeatable tasks
The goal is not just to explain bookkeeping. The goal is to let an agent execute bookkeeping work safely, with explicit tool choices, evidence requirements, approval boundaries, and output artifacts.
Tool policy
These skills prefer an email-native extraction workflow for receipt and invoice capture:
- Use the user's existing email extraction tool first when receipts already live in Gmail or Outlook
- Use filesystem, PDF, photo, browser, and accounting exports as fallback or complementary sources
- Preserve source evidence and note where each record came from
- Require human review for low-confidence classifications, ambiguous deductions, and any final posting or filing step with material consequences
