Closes the month — reconciles QB vs payment processors, flags gaps, writes P&L narrative, exports close packet. Accepts optional month and save-to arguments.
Claude as the trainer. Walks an SMB owner through connecting their first two tools, runs one recipe to prove immediate value, interviews them about their business (industry, size, top three headaches), stores that context persistently so every other skill benefits, and sets a weekly check-in cadence. Use when the owner is getting started or says any of: "set me up," "setup," "help me get set up," "get started," "help me get started," "get me started," "what can you do," "I'm new to this," or is in their first session.
Produces a one-page cross-functional business snapshot for SMB owners — cash position (QuickBooks), sales trend (PayPal/Square), pipeline movement (HubSpot), this week's commitments (Calendar), urgent watch-list items (Gmail/Slack), and the single most important thing needing attention today. Proactively tries every available connector and gracefully scopes to whatever is connected — one connector gives a partial pulse; the full stack gives the full picture. Trigger when the user asks how the business is doing, wants a snapshot, a weekly summary, a Monday brief, or says anything like "what am I missing" or "catch me up on the business."
Ranks the top-5 leads most worth calling today, supplies talking points from email history, blocks time on the calendar, and drafts follow-up messages. Accepts optional count and date arguments.
Takes an approved content brief and executes a campaign end-to-end: builds the posting calendar, generates Canva designs for social posts, drafts caption and email copy, and stages social sends in HubSpot. Canva is used for social posts only (Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn) — email content is drafted as plain text and surfaced inline for the owner to send from their own tool. Every step requires explicit owner approval. Use when the user says "make the content," "generate the posts," "create the assets," "turn this into a campaign," or hands off an approved brief for execution.
Reads AR/AP, historical cash timing, and known fixed costs from QuickBooks, PayPal, Stripe, or Square — 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.
Analyzes sales data from PayPal and QuickBooks to find top performers and slow movers, layers in seasonality, and produces a prioritized 30-day content brief: what to push, what offers to run, what to hold. Strategic output only — no calendars or assets. Use when the user asks what to post, wants a content plan, asks what's selling, or what to promote this month.

Run the month-end close workflow. Reconcile, flag gaps, narrate the P&L, and export the close packet for the owner's records (and their accountant).
Parse arguments:
--month (default: previous calendar month) — YYYY-MM format--save-to (default files) — files (Google Drive / OneDrive), desktop (local), or bothTrigger the month-end-prep skill workflow:
Surface in the same report:
For each, recommend an action: categorize as X, delete duplicate, attach receipt from inbox.
Wait for owner to triage flagged items before generating the narrative. Do not auto-categorize or auto-delete.
After triage, generate a plain-English P&L narrative:
{Month YYYY} closed at ${revenue} revenue ({+/-}{X}% vs prior month).
Top driver: {category/customer}. Biggest swing: {category} {direction} ${amount}
because {reason inferred from transactions}.
Margin: {X}% ({+/-}Y pts vs prior). {Cost-side commentary}.
Three notable items:
1. ...
2. ...
3. ...
Numbers come from QB; the why comes from cross-referencing top transactions, vendor names, and prior-month deltas.
Generate two files:
close-packet-{YYYY-MM}.xlsx — multi-tab workbook:
Reconciliation — QB ↔ processor match table with gap rows highlightedFlagged — uncategorized / duplicates / missing receiptsP&L — formatted income statement with prior-month delta columnTrial Balance — accounts + ending balancesclose-packet-{YYYY-MM}.pdf — one-page summary: P&L narrative + top-line numbers + gap countSave both to the chosen --save-to location. Filename format: close-packet-2026-04.xlsx etc.
If QuickBooks is unreachable, stop — reconciliation requires QB as the source of truth. If a payment processor (PayPal, Stripe, Square) is unreachable, run reconciliation against the available processors and note "PayPal not connected — PayPal settlements skipped from reconciliation" (or whichever is missing). If all processors are missing, run QB-only analysis and flag it.
End the run with a one-paragraph recap: revenue, margin, gap count remaining (if any), file paths to the saved packet. If gaps were not all resolved, list them so the owner can revisit.
