bills and deadlines

Late fees and forgotten renewals create unnecessary financial drag. This skill extracts payment dates, notice periods, and expiry dates from your documents to generate a structured calendar and financial overview.

What it does

• Extracts metadata from PDFs, photos, and emails to identify due dates, amounts, and cancellation notice periods.
• Generates calendar files in .ics format for importing into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook.
• Calculates discount windows for fines or taxes that offer early-payment reductions.
• Tracks auto-renewals by identifying notice periods in contracts and flagging the last possible day to cancel.
• Provides financial forecasting by totaling upcoming monthly liabilities and identifying high-spend months.

How it works

1. Analyze documents: Provide bills, contracts, or fines; the skill extracts data into a structured deadlines.json format.
2. Build assets: The skill runs a Python script to generate the .ics calendar, an Excel sheet for budgeting, and an HTML overview.
3. Import and notify: Import the .ics file into your calendar app to receive automated reminders at specific intervals.
4. Update status: Mark items as paid or add new bills to keep the financial forecast current.

Frameworks & tools

Uses Python 3.8+ standard library. Works with any agent capable of code execution and file management. No external API calls or network access required.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Generic prompts often miss the specific "notice period" logic hidden in contract fine print or fail to account for complex recurring date math. This skill uses a dedicated script to handle recurring events 12 months out and ensures every event has a stable ID for calendar synchronization.

Use cases

• Contract management to avoid gym, software, or insurance auto-renewals.
• Fine mitigation to ensure road fines are paid within the 30% discount window.
• Budget planning to see which months have heavy tax or insurance burdens.
• Document renewal for tracking passport, ID, and driver's license expiries.

Known limitations

Requires Python 3.8+ for script execution. Cannot access live banking data or make payments. Notice periods must be present in the provided text or images to be extracted accurately.
