Invoice Chaser

The problem

Chasing unpaid invoices is uncomfortable and time-consuming. Most developers either wait too long out of politeness or send aggressive emails that damage long-term client relationships.

What it does

• Drafts a 4-stage escalation sequence from friendly reminders to firm final notices.
• Calibrates tone based on exact days overdue and prior communication history.
• Ensures payment links and invoice details are prioritized for low-friction settlement.
• Maintains professional boundaries by removing apologetic language that undermines your right to be paid.
• Integrates existing contractual late fees or penalties into the copy without sounding like a threat.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Generic AI prompts often produce overly apologetic or "customer service" style fluff that clients ignore. This skill uses a proven escalation framework specifically for freelancers and agencies, ensuring you never apologize for asking for money you've earned while keeping the relationship intact for future work.

Use cases

• Sending a "soft" check-in for an invoice that is 3 days past due.
• Drafting a firm second notice after a client ignores your initial reminder.
• Writing a final notice before pausing work or initiating a formal collections process.
• Standardizing your agency's accounts receivable communication flow.

Known limitations

This skill does not provide legal advice or state-specific debt collection regulations. It will not invent late fee terms that are not already present in your original contract.
