Input: bank/transaction exports (.csv/.xlsx), open invoices (AR), upcoming bills (AP), payroll schedule, and known recurring items. Output: a week-by-week cash position with the crunch points circled.</p>\n<h2>Workflow</h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Establish the baseline.</strong> Current cash across accounts (from the most recent export -- state the as-of date prominently). Reconstruct 8-12 weeks of history to learn the rhythm: payroll cadence, rent day, typical weekly card/vendor spend, revenue deposit patterns.</li>\n<li><strong>Schedule the knowns.</strong> Inflows: open AR placed in the week each invoice is <em>likely</em> paid -- due date plus that customer's historical lateness, not the due date printed on the invoice. Outflows: payroll (with tax deposit timing), rent, loan payments, insurance, subscriptions, credit card due dates, quarterly estimated taxes -- the ambush everyone forgets.</li>\n<li><strong>Model the unknowns.</strong> Recurring-but-variable spend from historical averages, labeled <code>ESTIMATE</code>. New revenue only if the user provides expected deals -- never invent pipeline.</li>\n<li><strong>Build the forecast.</strong> <code>cash-flow-13wk.csv</code> + summary: weekly beginning cash, inflows, outflows, ending cash. Flag every week ending below the user's minimum comfort level (ask; default one payroll cycle) as <code>CRUNCH</code>, and the first crunch week is the headline.</li>\n<li><strong>Scenario the levers.</strong> For each crunch: what closes the gap -- which specific AR to chase this week (pairs with <code>cowork-invoice-chaser</code>), which AP can slide two weeks without damage, where the line of credit covers, what the owner draw pause buys. Concrete moves with amounts, not advice-shaped sentences.</li>\n</ol>\n<h2>Rules</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Payment behavior beats due dates: a net-30 customer who pays in 55 days forecasts at 55.</li>\n<li>Never fabricate inflows. Hope is not a week-9 deposit; unconfirmed revenue stays out or sits in a clearly separated optimistic scenario.</li>\n<li>Estimates are labeled and totaled separately so the user can see how much of the forecast is soft.</li>\n<li>Weekly granularity, not monthly -- a month that nets positive can contain a week that bounces payroll.</li>\n<li>The as-of date and data gaps are stated up front; a forecast built on a two-week-old balance says so.</li>\n<li>Re-run weekly: roll the window, compare actuals to last week's forecast, and report the misses -- forecast accuracy is a metric.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Quick Commands</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\"Forecast from [files]\" -- full workflow</li>\n<li>\"When's my next crunch?\" -- the headline week and its gap</li>\n<li>\"What if [customer] pays late?\" -- single-scenario rerun</li>\n<li>\"Roll the forecast\" -- weekly update against actuals</li>\n</ul>\n","files":[{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":2986,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
