plan-payroll
From the author
Runs the payroll-confidence chain end to end — forecasts cash across the payroll window with cash-flow-snapshot, ranks and drafts overdue-invoice reminders with invoice-chase to close any gap, then assembles timesheets, flags every anomaly, and stages the run with payroll-prep. On Gusto the run is staged for the owner to submit; on QuickBooks Payroll, or with no payroll system, the last step is a validated run sheet the owner keys in. This chain never presses the payroll button. Builds on the ledger (MYOB, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, or Zoho Books), with Gmail or M365, PayPal, Square, Stripe, and either Gusto or QuickBooks Payroll adding detail, and falls back to CSV and timesheet uploads. Use it whenever payroll is the worry, including "can I make payroll," "payroll is due Friday," "plan payroll," "will I have enough to pay the crew," or "I need to run payroll but money is tight." Accepts optional horizon and payroll-date arguments.

- payroll-prepanthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsGets payroll ready to run without anyone getting shorted: pulls timesheets from Gusto, QuickBooks Payroll, or an uploaded spreadsheet, totals regular, overtime, and PTO hours by person, flags every anomaly it finds — missed punches, overtime spikes, rate changes, mid-period hires and terminations, hours off the schedule — and stages the run for the owner to approve line by line before a dollar moves. Anomalies are always raised, never quietly corrected. Once the owner runs it, the journal posts to the ledger or goes to the bookkeeper. Reach for this whenever payroll comes up at all — "run payroll," "payroll is due," "check the timecards," "did everyone clock out," "how many hours did the crew put in," "why is payroll so high this week," "I need to pay the guys Friday" — and use it after cash-flow-snapshot when the owner is worried about whether payroll clears.OfficialData★ 31K
- pay-the-billsanthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsWorks the bill pile from the AP inbox all the way to a staged payment run — reads and codes every bill, then checks the cash position before a dollar is committed, then stages the run for one-click approval and keeps the books tidy for close. Coding and paying are two separate decisions with two separate approvals, and the cash check sits between them on purpose. Runs on the ledger (MYOB, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, or Zoho Books) and a mail connector (Gmail or M365), deepens with Expensify and Ramp, and works from uploaded PDFs or phone photos with the run sheet exported for manual entry. Use it when the owner says "pay the bills," "the bills are piling up," "what do I owe," "who needs to get paid this week," "can I afford to pay these," or forwards a stack of vendor invoices.OfficialMedia★ 31K
- close-monthanthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsCloses the books and turns them into a decision as a three-link chain — month-end-prep reconciles the ledger against every connected payment processor and writes the P&L narrative, cash-flow-snapshot then refreshes the 30/60/90-day forecast off the newly closed numbers rather than raw ones, and report-builder publishes and distributes the close packet. Requires a ledger (MYOB, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, or Zoho Books) and uses Gusto, PayPal, Ramp, Shopify, Square, and Stripe when connected, falling back to statement or CSV uploads. Trigger on "close the month," "month-end," "close the books," "reconcile," "send the close packet to my accountant," or when the owner asks why revenue or margin moved last month. An owner who wants only the reconciliation and its flags, with no forecast refresh and no packet distribution, routes to month-end-prep directly.OfficialData★ 31K
- cash-flow-snapshotanthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsReads AR/AP, historical cash timing, and known fixed costs from the ledger (MYOB, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, or Zoho Books) or from PayPal, Square, or Stripe — or a CSV upload — and produces a 30/60/90-day cash flow forecast with percentage-variance confidence bands and named risk flags. Delivers a chat summary and a downloadable XLSX. Use when the user asks "forecast my cash flow," "will I make payroll," mentions "runway," or says "cash crunch." Falls back to CSV upload when no connector is live.OfficialData★ 31K
- monday-briefanthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsRuns the owner's Monday morning briefing as a two-link chain — business-pulse for the cross-connector snapshot of cash, sales, and pipeline, and report-builder for any saved KPI reports the owner has already defined — then reads the week ahead straight from Calendar and mail and merges all three parts into a single one-page Monday document, delivered per the owner's stored output preference. Requires no connectors and degrades gracefully, building from whatever of the ledger (MYOB, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, or Zoho Books), Calendar, DocuSign, Expensify, Gmail or M365, HubSpot, PayPal, Ramp, RingEx Chat, Shopify, Slack, Stripe, and TikTok Ads is connected, or from pasted and uploaded data when none are. Trigger on "Monday brief," "start my week," "what do I need to know this week," "weekly briefing," "catch me up before Monday," or when the owner schedules a recurring start-of-week update.OfficialMarketing★ 31K
- month-end-prepanthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsReconciles the accounting ledger (MYOB, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, or Zoho Books) against PayPal, Shopify, Square, and Stripe settlements, flags transactions that need attention, suspicious duplicates, and missing receipts, then writes a plain-English P&L narrative and exports a close packet (xlsx + one-page PDF). This is the first link of the /close-month command; a request to close the month or the books routes there, and the command runs this skill before refreshing the forecast and distributing the packet. Use this skill directly only when the owner wants the reconciliation alone, with no forecast refresh and no distribution: "just reconcile, no packet," "what's missing from the books," "flag the duplicates and missing receipts," or "write the P&L narrative for this month."OfficialDocuments★ 31K
