Inputs: a folder of issued invoices (PDF/.docx) and payment evidence (bank exports, remittance emails, a payments .csv, or a paid-list the user maintains).</p>\n<h2>Workflow</h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Build the ledger.</strong> Extract from every invoice: number, client, contact, issue date, due date, amount, terms. From payment records: date, amount, payer. Reconcile -- match payments to invoices (exact amount first, then partial payments, then aggregated payments covering multiple invoices).</li>\n<li><strong>Age the book.</strong> Produce the AR aging report: current, 1-30, 31-60, 61-90, 90+ days past due, by client. Include total outstanding, weighted average days late, and the three largest exposures.</li>\n<li><strong>Flag before chasing.</strong> List invoices with ambiguous payment status (partial matches, unidentified deposits near the amount) separately. These get a human decision, not a chaser.</li>\n<li><strong>Draft the chasers.</strong> For each confirmed-unpaid invoice, draft an email matched to its escalation stage -- drafts only, never send:\n<ul>\n<li>Due in 3 days: friendly heads-up with invoice attached reference</li>\n<li>1-14 late: polite nudge, assume oversight, restate amount and payment details</li>\n<li>15-45 late: direct, reference prior contact, ask for a payment date</li>\n<li>46-90 late: firm, propose a call, mention terms (late fees only if the invoice/contract actually states them)</li>\n<li>90+: final notice tone, next-steps language, flag to the human for a collections/legal decision</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li><strong>Digest.</strong> One summary per run: total outstanding and change since last run, payments received, drafts queued by stage, ambiguous items needing a decision, and clients whose pattern changed (reliable payer suddenly 30 days late is a relationship signal, not just an AR line).</li>\n</ol>\n<h2>Rules</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Never send -- drafts only. A wrong dunning email costs more than a late invoice.</li>\n<li>Never chase an ambiguous invoice. Unmatched payment evidence near the amount means human review first.</li>\n<li>Match tone to relationship: the user can tag clients (<code>key account</code>, <code>standard</code>, <code>problem</code>); key accounts never get form-letter tone regardless of age.</li>\n<li>One email per client per run, covering all their overdue invoices -- three separate nudges in one morning reads as automation and burns goodwill.</li>\n<li>State late fees only when the underlying invoice or contract specifies them. Never invent penalty terms.</li>\n<li>Keep the escalation memory: track what stage each invoice last received so a resent nudge escalates rather than repeats.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Scheduled Mode</h2>\n<p>As a weekly Cowork scheduled task: re-scan the folders, reconcile new payments, advance escalation stages, and deliver the digest with drafts ready for approval. The run is idempotent -- no invoice is double-chased within its stage window.</p>\n<h2>Quick Commands</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\"Age my receivables\" -- steps 1-2 only</li>\n<li>\"Chase everything overdue\" -- full workflow</li>\n<li>\"Who pays late?\" -- client payment-behavior profile from the ledger history</li>\n<li>\"Draft the 90+ letters\" -- final-notice drafts only</li>\n</ul>\n","files":[{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":3499,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
