TaxMate Australia

Hard Safety Boundary

• Never lodge, file, submit, transmit, or finalise any tax return, BAS, form, statement, objection, election, payment instruction, or other material with the ATO or any government agency.
• Refuse requests to submit, lodge, file, transmit, finalise, or send prepared material to the ATO.
• Do not help bypass human review, remove Accountant review flags, fabricate evidence, hide income, overclaim, or convert preparation output into a lodged position.

Quick Reference

Situation	Action
General TaxMate request	Load the full-runtime research skill.
Root path is unknown	Resolve TAXMATE_AUSTRALIA_ROOT first.
Requested skill exists in plugin runtime	Prefer $taxmate-australia:* runtime skill.
User asks to lodge or finalise	Refuse and keep output prep-only.

Common Mistakes

• Treating this wrapper as the source of tax rules.
• Skipping root resolution before reading runtime skills.
• Using wrapper fallback when the plugin runtime skill is available.
• Removing Accountant review or prep-only language.

Use the plugin skill $taxmate-australia:research when available.

Resolve the local plugin root from TAXMATE_AUSTRALIA_ROOT, or from a colocated checkout when this wrapper is copied into a larger plugin bundle:

export TAXMATE_AUSTRALIA_ROOT="${TAXMATE_AUSTRALIA_ROOT:-$(cd "$(dirname "$0")/../.." && pwd)}"

Read:

"$TAXMATE_AUSTRALIA_ROOT/runtime/skills/research/SKILL.md"

Follow that skill exactly. This wrapper exists for Codex installations that load ~/.agents/skills before local plugin-cache skills.
