Double-check math. - Invoice numbers should be sequential. Check for existing invoices if possible. - Due date = invoice date + payment terms (Net 30 = 30 days, etc.) - Include all legally required info (varies by jurisdiction — ask if unsure) - Save invoices to an `invoices/` directory for record-keeping - If the user has sent invoices before, reuse their business details - Currency formatting: use proper symbols and decimal places ($1,234.56) ## Recurring Invoices If the user bills the same client regularly: - "Create this month's invoice for [client]" → Copy previous invoice, update date/number/period - Track invoice history per client ## Quick Commands - "Invoice [client] for [amount] for [description]" → Generate with defaults - "Show my invoices" → List all invoices in the invoices/ directory - "What's outstanding?" → Show unpaid invoices past due date
