Receipty: receipt finder organizer

The problem

Manually hunting through your inbox for business receipts is brittle and time-consuming. Vital tax records often end up lost in personal threads or buried in spam, making month-end reconciliation a nightmare.

What it does

• Scans email threads and attachments to identify business receipts with high-confidence metadata extraction.
• Deduplicates records based on original message IDs, invoice numbers, and checksums to prevent double-entry.
• Archives original source files in structured monthly folders using a sortable naming convention.
• Forwards verified evidence to a designated finance or accounting email address with standardized subject lines.
• Maintains a localized CSV index of every processed transaction for a permanent audit trail.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Generic prompts often guess at missing dates or hallucinate amounts, but this skill enforces an idempotency state machine. It prevents duplicate processing across runs and routes low-confidence items to a review queue instead of making assumptions.

Use cases

• Automating monthly expense collection for small business owners and freelancers.
• Backfilling historical accounting records from a specific date range for tax audits.
• Standardizing receipt storage from messy merchant emails into clean PDF or EML archives.
• Consolidating software subscriptions and travel expenses into a central finance mailbox.
