Plan Payroll
by anthropicsae1513ea94dcNo license27K starsListed Oct 8, 2026Updated Oct 8, 2026Repository updated today
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.

Ticket Deflector
anthropics
Reads a forwarded customer email or ticket, pulls order and refund status from a payments connector (PayPal, Square, or Stripe) or Shopify, account history from the CRM, and open tickets from a support desk (Zoho Desk), drafts a tone-matched reply in the owner's writing voice, and can issue a refund through the payments connector with explicit owner approval. With Shopify connected it also runs a proactive order-triage mode that surfaces orders needing attention — unfulfilled past the promised window, payment problems, pending refunds, stuck shipments — and drafts the next action for each before the customer has to ask. Use when the user says "draft a response," "answer this customer," "where's my order," "I want a refund," "check my orders," or "anything about to blow up."
Tax Season Organizer
anthropics
Prepares tax-season materials for the owner's accountant, not tax advice. US federal tax; a non-US business gets its closed-books packet instead. Two modes: (1) quarterly estimated tax from YTD net income in the ledger (MYOB, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, or Zoho Books); (2) year-end 1099 prep, scanning the ledger, PayPal, and Stripe for contractors paid over USD 600 into a 1099-NEC list with missing W-9 flags. Any tax request routes first to /tax-prep, which confirms the books are closed and reconciled before running this skill. Use this skill directly only when the owner says the period's books are already closed: "books are closed, now do the 1099s," "run the quarterly estimate off the closed numbers," or "just the contractor W-9 list."

Month End Prep
anthropics
Reconciles 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."
