For years, this site shared Python scripts you could copy into your own finance work: clean the export, match the files, flag the duplicates, tie the totals.
That format just got an upgrade. Every core PANDAUDIT technique now lives in the Skills Library as a skill — a markdown document an AI agent can actually execute.
What changed
A script answers how. A skill also answers when, with what inputs, and how you know it worked. Every skill follows the same shape:
- When to use this skill — so an agent (or a colleague) picks the right tool
- Inputs it expects — the files and fields, named
- Steps and code — the same working pandas logic as before
- Validation — control totals: rows in, rows out, amounts tied
- Exceptions to surface — the rows a human still has to judge
Three ways to use one
- Read it like a recipe, same as always.
- Run it yourself — the code is right there.
- Hand it to your agent — save the raw markdown as
SKILL.mdin your agent’s skills folder and say: “Use the clean-credit-debit-amounts skill on this export.”
Accounting takeaway
The technique didn’t change. The packaging did — because your next junior preparer might be an AI agent, and it works best when the procedure is written down. Start with the skill that matches the task you repeated this week, and tell us how it went in the Discord Skill Swap channel.
