Prompt for your agent

Goal: Match every transaction to its receipt and prepare everything for my accountant.
Setup: agents used in source: Claude, Codex; tools/MCPs stated: Google Drive, QuickBooks Online.
Steps:
1. Collect the receipts for subscriptions and API credit top-ups.
2. Give the agent bank and payment-processor access. The source used API keys and browser sessions; think hard before sharing credentials.
3. Match every transaction to its invoice.
4. Produce a summary for the accountant, with the files in Google Drive.
5. Variant: connect QuickBooks Online through an app created in the QuickBooks developer portal (~20 min).
Rules: ask me before anything irreversible (sending, posting, paying, deleting); don’t invent data, results or tools I haven’t given you; tell me what you couldn’t verify.
