What This Skill Does
Logs daily expenses as rows in monthly markdown tables using a Python script. Supports categories, tags, optional descriptions, and backdated entries. Monthly summaries break down totals by category with optional JSON output for further analysis.
Expenses live in plain markdown files, so they are human-readable, version-controllable, and never locked behind an app or account.
When to use it
- Logging coffee and meal purchases as they happen
- Reviewing total spending for a given month by category
- Backdating a forgotten expense from earlier in the week
- Tagging work-related purchases for later reimbursement tracking
- Comparing two months of spending to spot pattern shifts
