--- name: work-receipt description: "Generates a detailed receipt of everything you accomplished in a coding session — files changed, problems solved, decisions made, debt incurred, and what's left for tomorrow. The difference between \"I worked all day\" and \"here's exactly what I did and why.\" Perfect for standups, handoffs, and proving to yourself that you actually got something done." --- # Work Receipt > "If you can't explain what you did today in three sentences, you either did nothing or you did everything. Both need a receipt." ## What It Does End of your session. You've been coding for hours. Someone asks "what did you work on?" and you say "...stuff. The checkout thing. I think I fixed a bug?" Your commit messages say `wip`, `fix`, `fix again`, `actually fix`, and `please work`. Work Receipt analyzes your session's artifacts — git history, file changes, test results, terminal commands — and produces a structured summary of: 1. **What you accomplished** (shipped, fixed, built) 2. **What you changed** (files, lines, architecture) 3. **What you decided** (and why) 4. **What you left behind** (TODOs, known issues, next steps) 5. **What it cost** (time, complexity added, debt incurred) ## The Receipt ``` ╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ WORK RECEIPT ║ ║ ║ ║ Session: Tuesday, March 3, 2026 ║ ║ Duration: 4h 22m (1:15 PM — 5:37 PM) ║ ║ Branch: feature/multi-currency-checkout ║ ╠══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ ACCOMPLISHED: ║ ║ ✓ Multi-currency tax calculation (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY) ║ ║ ✓ Zero-decimal currency handling (JPY, KRW) ║ ║ ✓ Tax rounding edge case for sub-cent amounts ║ ║ ~ Partial: Currency conversion caching (70% complete) ║ ║ ║ ║ CHANGED: ║ ║ ├── Modified: 6 files (+184 lines, -47 lines) ║ ║ │ ├── src/checkout/tax.ts .......... +89 / -12 ║ ║ │ ├── src/checkout/currency.ts ..... +42 / -8 ║ ║ │ ├── src/types/currency.ts ........ +18 / -3 ║ ║ │ ├── src/checkout/tax.test.ts ..... +24 / -6 ║ ║ │ ├── src/checkout/currency.test.ts +11 / -18 ║ ║ │ └── src/config/rates.json ........ +0 / -0 (reformatted)║ ║ ├── Created: 1 file ║ ║ │ └── src/checkout/decimal-precision.ts (29 lines) ║ ║ └── Commits: 4 ║ ║ ├── "feat: multi-currency tax calculation" ║ ║ ├── "fix: zero-decimal currency handling (JPY/KRW)" ║ ║ ├── "fix: sub-cent rounding edge case" ║ ║ └── "wip: currency conversion caching (incomplete)" ║ ║ ║ ║ DECISIONS MADE: ║ ║ ├── Used per-currency precision lookup (not flat decimal) ║ ║ │ Reason: JPY/KRW have 0 decimals, BHD has 3 decimals ║ ║ ├── Round after tax, not before ║ ║ │ Reason: Rounding before creates up to 0.5% error ║ ║ └── Separate decimal-precision module (not inline) ║ ║ Reason: Reusable for display, export, and reporting ║ ║ ║ ║ TESTS: ║ ║ ├── Added: 4 new tests ║ ║ ├── Modified: 2 existing tests ║ ║ ├── Status: 23/23 passing ✓ ║ ║ └── Coverage: 91% → 94% (+3%) for checkout/ ║ ║ ║ ║ LEFT BEHIND: ║ ║ ├── TODO: Currency conversion cache TTL (hardcoded to 1h) ║ ║ ├── TODO: Add tests for BHD (3-decimal currency) ║ ║ ├── WIP: Caching layer ~70% done (needs invalidation logic) ║ ║ └── DEBT: No test for concurrent currency conversions ║ ║ ║ ║ SESSION METRICS: ║ ║ ├── Complexity: Net +12 cyclomatic complexity ║ ║ ├── Debt: 1 new entry (concurrent test, ~2h to fix) ║ ║ ├── Dependencies: 0 new dependencies added ║ ║ └── Breaking changes: 0 ║ ║ ║ ║ STANDUP SUMMARY: ║ ║ "Implemented multi-currency tax calculation supporting ║ ║ 22 currencies including zero-decimal (JPY/KRW).

Accomplishments (from commits and diffs) ``` SOURCE: ├── Commit messages (especially conventional commit prefixes: feat, fix, refactor) ├── Diff analysis (what changed functionally, not just syntactically) ├── Test additions (new tests = new verified behavior) └── Branch description / PR draft CLASSIFICATION: ├── ✓ Complete: Committed, tested, ready for review ├── ~ Partial: Work in progress, documented but unfinished ├── ✗ Abandoned: Started but reverted or stashed └── ⟳ Refactored: Changed structure without changing behavior ``` ### 2. Decisions (from code patterns and comments) ``` DETECTION: ├── Stashed alternatives (you tried X, went with Y) ├── TODO/FIXME comments (you noted a decision to defer) ├── Reverted commits (you chose against something) ├── Code comments with "because", "instead of", "rather than" └── Config changes (explicit choices about values/settings) ``` ### 3. What's Left (from WIP state) ``` DETECTION: ├── Uncommitted changes (work still in progress) ├── TODO/FIXME added during this session ├── Failing tests that were added but not yet fixed ├── Incomplete function signatures (return type is any/unknown) ├── Empty function bodies or placeholder implementations └── WIP commits (literally "wip" in the message) ``` ### 4. Cost Analysis (from code metrics) ``` METRICS: ├── Lines of code: net addition/reduction ├── Complexity: cyclomatic complexity change ├── Test coverage: percentage change ├── Dependencies: new libraries added ├── Debt: shortcuts taken, tests skipped, TODOs added ├── Files touched: total surface area of changes └── Breaking changes: interface/schema modifications ``` ## Receipt Formats ### Standup Format (3 sentences) ``` Yesterday: Implemented multi-currency tax calculation for 22 currencies. Fixed zero-decimal currency handling and rounding edge cases. Today: Will complete currency conversion caching and add BHD tests. Blockers: None. ``` ### Handoff Format (for passing work to a colleague) ``` HANDOFF: feature/multi-currency-checkout ├── STATUS: 85% complete ├── WHAT'S DONE: Tax calc works for all currencies, fully tested ├── WHAT'S LEFT: Caching layer needs invalidation logic (see TODO in currency.ts:42) ├── WATCH OUT FOR: JPY and KRW are zero-decimal — don't assume 2 decimal places ├── DECISIONS LOCKED: Round after tax, not before. Precision lookup table in decimal-precision.ts ├── OPEN QUESTIONS: Cache TTL — 1h is a guess, may need tuning in production └── RUN: npm test -- checkout/ (should be 23/23 green) ``` ### PR Description Format ``` ## Multi-Currency Tax Calculation Adds support for 22 currencies in the checkout tax calculation, including zero-decimal currencies (JPY, KRW) and 3-decimal currencies (BHD). ### Changes - New `decimal-precision.ts` module with per-currency precision lookup - Updated `tax.ts` to use precision-aware calculation - Fixed rounding: now rounds after tax application (not before) - 4 new tests, 2 updated tests (91% → 94% coverage) ### Not Included - Currency conversion caching (separate PR, in progress) - Concurrent conversion tests (tracked as tech debt) ``` ### Commit Log Cleanup When your session has messy commits, Work Receipt suggests a clean rewrite: ``` CURRENT COMMITS: ├── "wip" ├── "fix stuff" ├── "actually fix the thing" └── "wip: caching maybe" SUGGESTED REWRITE: ├── "feat: multi-currency tax calculation with precision lookup" ├── "fix: handle zero-decimal currencies (JPY, KRW) in tax calc" ├── "fix: round after tax application to prevent sub-cent errors" └── "wip: currency conversion caching (invalidation pending)" ``` ## When to Invoke - **End of every work session.** Make it a habit. - Before standup (generate your update in 5 seconds instead of 5 minutes of remembering) - Before creating a PR (auto-generate the description) - Before handing off work (structured handoff instead of "uh, it's on the branch") - End of sprint (aggregate daily receipts into sprint summary) - When you feel like you accomplished nothing (the receipt proves otherwise) ## Why It Matters Developers consistently underestimate what they accomplished and overestimate what they have left. Without a receipt, work becomes invisible — to managers, to teammates, and to yourself. Work Receipt makes invisible work **visible**. Every decision documented. Every line accounted for. Every TODO tracked. Zero external dependencies. Zero API calls. Pure git and filesystem analysis.
