# Invoice Reconciliation

## Prerequisites
This skill needs the iGPT MCP at https://mcp.igpt.ai/.

If the MCP tools aren't available or return an auth error, tell the
user to install the iGPT plugin (`/plugin marketplace add igptai/skills`)
or add https://mcp.igpt.ai/ as a connector, then complete OAuth and say
"ready". Retry once after they confirm. Never invent tokens or OAuth URLs.

## What This Skill Does

Finds all invoices received via email, extracts the amount, currency, sender,
and date for each, converts every amount to the user's local currency, and
returns a clean structured schema the user can send directly to their accountant
or import into accounting software.

## Workflow

1. Before calling any tool, collect these values from the user. Offer the
   defaults and let the user override them; do not invent values they did
   not give.

   - [time_range] — what window of email to scan. The user may give this
     in any form ("the current month", "last 30 days", "May 2024").
     Default: the current calendar month. Keep the user's natural
     phrasing for use in the ask input; convert to ISO dates separately
     for the search call.
   - [local_currency] — the currency to convert all amounts into (e.g.
     USD, EUR, ILS). No default — must come from the user.

2. Call search with:
   - query: invoice receipt billing payment due amount
   - date_from: ISO start date derived from [time_range]
   - date_to: ISO end date derived from [time_range] (or today if open-ended)

3. Call ask with:
   - input: Find all invoices and billing emails received in [time_range]. For each invoice extract: the sender company or name, the invoice number if present, the invoice date, the amount due, and the currency. Then convert each amount to [local_currency] using current exchange rates. Return every invoice as a structured record.
   - output_format:

4. Present as a clean table with one row per invoice. Lead with the summary
   line showing total count, total amount, and total unpaid.

5. Ask: "Would you like me to export this as a CSV format for your accountant?"
